And now, the conclusion!

As the meeting was called to a close by Luthor, Catwoman casually collected the notes she'd taken, placed them in the pouch she'd attached to her belt, then slipped up close to Lex. "Luthor," she whispered, "I have a few other ideas I'd like to discuss with you. Is there anywhere here where we can, ahem, get more comfortable and talk privately?"

With a bit of surprise showing on his face, Lex turned to her and said, "I have a small enclave I rest in just down the hall. Meet me there in thirty minutes..."

* * * * *

As we last saw our heroes, no make that heroines now, I guess, Batwoman, Nightwing, Batgirl and Superwoman were experiencing some activities of their bodies which they could see and feel happening, but weren't controlling. As Batwoman had surmised on first seeing this activity, it was indeed the work of Mxyzptlk that caused them all to start caressing their new ultra feminine attributes and otherwise begin utilizing the attributes of their new bodies and costumes. For it wasn't a mere change in anatomy that Mxy had performed moments ago in the Batcave. The costumes themselves were magically alive and controlling the actions of the bodies upon which they were being worn. Shortly after she said, "Yikes," Batwoman found that she couldn't say anything else. At least of her own free will, anyway.

Batwoman noticed the little bat on her tit change into a tiny devil, then felt herself putting her hands on her hips and swiveling to face Batgirl, Superwoman and Nightwing. Then her lips started moving, and she found herself saying, "Now then, Ladies, we are ready to get to work." As she said this, she felt a change come over herself, and saw wicked sneers forming on the lips of all her compatriots. "I am Satana, and I look forward to the life of crime and male domination I've been given. I eagerly await working alongside all of you, Sadistica in your black leather, Demonica in your black and yellow latex, and most importantly you, Malicia. Our first order of business is to get all our tools ready, then get downtown. The SadoClub is waiting for us to get there! Then it's off to the Gotham Diamond Exchange."

As she watched Malicia, Sadistica and Demonica grabbing their whips, crops, cuffs and other bondage gear and stowing them in their 'weapons' belts, Satana thought maybe she could get out of the fix she was in by trying to take off her costume. It was no use. Her hands were no longer in her control. She picked up her own tools of the trade, clipped them to the belt on her hips, then joined the others in the elevator, which then headed up to the mansion.

Alfred was doing some repositioning of books in the library when he heard the elevator arriving, and as he turned to watch his employer and guests come out, he froze. The provocatively dressed, grossly over endowed women who strode purposefully out of the elevator made him drop the book he had in his hands. "Who are you?" he demanded.

Malicia stepped quickly to the front, put her face directly in front of Alfred's, and said, "I think our master, Mxyzptlk, must have missed somebody when he made us his toys. Wouldn't you say so, ladies?"

"Tie him up, Demonica," said Sadistica from the rear of the group. "I think we can persuade our master to make a few changes here while we're gone."

Demonica reached into her weapons belt and extracted a ball gag and length of rope. Before Alfred could even scream or utter another word, he was gagged, then bound so as to be harmless. "This should hold him," she said. "Maybe when we come back, we'll find some changes."

Alfred watched in awe as the group of dominatrixes headed for the garage, and wondered what they had been referring to, 'master', and 'changes'? He did not have to wait long to find out, much to his chagrin.

As the ladies got underway to Gotham in one of the many Wayne vans, Mr. Mxyzptlk rubbed his hands in glee as he watched from real time but slightly askew dimensional placement. From here he felt safe in observing the actions of his new slaves, without fear of one of them finding a way to release and get a way for him to say his name backwards. "I wonder," he remarked to no one in particular, since he was quite alone in his own little world, "what the girls were referring to when they were talking about more changes being needed? I'd better check out Wayne Manor before going downtown to watch my toys in action."

Mxy blinked out from his hideaway, and at the same moment blinked into view inside Wayne Manor. The tied up Alfred saw him pop into view, and his eyes went wide in wonder. Batmite he was familiar with from all the times he'd visited many years before, but who was this?

Mxy looked down, saw the initial handiwork of his creations, and giggled. "So that's what they were referring to! Yes, indeed, we can't have this old fuddy duddy in the way if Wayne Manor is going to be the home of my little troupe of criminal sex goddesses." He put his finger under his chin for a moment, as if thinking was something he needed to worry about, then proclaimed, "I have it! No more stay at home Old Butler. Wait 'til the girls get home, they're going to love what they find all trussed up and waiting for their orders."

Alfred saw a look of glee on his face, then as the imp poofed out of sight, noticed a few changes take place so fast they couldn't be really felt. By the time any of the changes could be felt, Alfred was lost in the new personality Mxy had left for his new body.

Now in a kneeling position on the floor with her hands bound behind her and secured to the rope tied around her ankles, with a ball gag still in her mouth, was a vitally young, long blonde haired French Maid. Her exceedingly short black latex dress with white lace apron strained at retaining her abundant breasts. Her legs were encased in black fishnet hose, and her feet were dressed in black patent leather shoes with seven-inch heels. Even had she wanted to scream, however, the ball gag would not be necessary, for Alfreda's costume had a similar effect on her as the others had discovered earlier with theirs. She had her own thoughts, but her body would only act as the costume ordered. Monique was now the perfect house slave. Besides also being Selene, the new gang's mesmerizing hypno femme fatale.

The enthralled dominatrixes performed just as Mxy intended them to at the SadoClub that evening. He watched with glee as the costumes attracted customer after drooling customer to submit to the ministrations of the dominas he'd created. "Oh boy, playing with Superman was never this much fun before," Mxy said to himself. He watched all night, waiting for the right time to order the costumes to take their thralls on to the beginning of their crime wave. As the last of a smaller and smaller group felt their wrath and paid up, Mxy decided he'd had his fill for the night and decided to send them all home instead of to the Diamond Exchange. The debut of the new gang of female criminals, with the addition of their newest member, could wait until the next evening. He snapped his fingers, and Sadistica, Satana, Demonica and Malicia all froze in place.

Moments later, they made their way back to the van and proceeded back to the mansion. On their arrival, they discovered Monique neatly tied up and waiting for them. As Satana removed the ball gag, Monique meekly said, "Good evening, Mistresses. I presume you won't be needing me as Selene tonight. How may I serve you?"

"Mxyzptlk does good work," Malicia said. Of course, she had to say that. Mxy's costume wouldn't let her say what she wanted to say as she saw who had to have been her old friend and house butler.

Little did Mxyzptlk know, however, that the costume on Sadistica was only partially able to control her. While she had acted as instructed all evening in dominating numerous male slaves and a few females also, Sadistica did not feel totally out of control. The costume was ordered by Mxy to dominate Superman's mind in Superwoman's body. Mxy was still unaware of the change undergone by Superman and Selina with the PED the day before, and had missed the talk about it in the Batcave soon after Superwoman's arrival. As the others reported to their rooms for the remainder of the evening, Sadistica went to hers, but after making it look as if she was climbing into bed with her costume on, just in case the imp was checking in on his toys, she got out of bed. She easily stripped off her black leather costume. Going into her closet, she pulled out a jeans and spandex blouse set, and some sneakers. She was lucky. They all still fit. Well, the blouse, even though it stretched considerably, was awfully tight.

No longer having to fight her identity of Sadistica, Superwoman stole her way quietly to the elevator, then went to the Batcave. Working at the computer, she had it generate a costume looking for all the world just like Mxy's would, if he was a big busted female. After she donned it, she worked out a program on the computer to respond in reverse to whatever it was told. With everything set, Superwoman called out loudly, "Oh Mxy, where are you Mxy? I've been looking for you, you little pest. Get down here and meet your match, I want to show you what you can do for more fun!"

In short order, the imp popped into view. "Whoa, who are you?" he exclaimed.

"I'm Ms. Mxyzptlk, your female self, you stupid twit. I was formed when you zapped into this dimension without checking for residual magic in the air," she made up quickly. "I've been toying with the computer these boobs use in thinking they have the information world at their fingertips," she continued. Reaching for the keyboard, she said, "Here's a log of the activities I've done while you were tormenting the fools."

Mxy walked over to the computer, where he saw a prompt saying, ENTER NAME FOR ACCESS. He typed in 'MXYZPTLK', but what he saw on the screen was 'KLTPZYXM' - INCORRECT, ACCESS DENIED. "I typed in Mxyzptlk, how did it get Kltpzyxm-" he started to say, but as he finished, his face went wide as he realized his mistake, and he poofed back into the 5th dimension.

At that very moment, Ms. Mxyzptlk's costume found itself on the very male body of Superman, who started laughing with glee. Upstairs, in four separate bedrooms, four outrageously dressed sleeping villainesses suddenly reverted to the forms and costumes they'd been in before Mxy showed up. As Superman came running out of the elevator and yelling in the hallways, "I presume everybody is back to normal," four heads came out of their bedroom doors.

"Am I ever glad I'm back to being a male hero and not a female villain! How on earth did you do it, Superman?" Bruce exclaimed. Even while acting as Satana, he'd been aware of all that she did. To think that he'd come that close to starting a crime wave!

"Let's all go to the library. It's a good story, and I think you'll all enjoy the way I tricked the imp with his own medicine!"

They roared in laughter when they'd heard the story. It was just what they all needed to sleep soundly after what they'd been doing earlier in the evening.

* * * * *

At that same time of the early morning, Catwoman was in the process of getting back into her costume while Lex washed up after she and Lex had spent a profitable evening together in his enclave. "Catwoman," she heard him say from the bathroom, "I can't believe how incredibly versatile you are with that fantastic body of yours! I wish you'd been in Metropolis all along instead of Gotham City, that way we might have got together sooner. And the ideas you've got for trapping our heroic foes sound like winners. I can't wait to give the news to the others tomorrow."

Flexing her claws as she stretched her arms, Catwoman thought to herself, 'You make a pretty good bed partner yourself, Luthor. But I'm not about to tell you, what with that inflated ego of yours...' She then put on her cowl and said, "Thanks for the compliments, Lex. I hope we can convince the others of our little ploys. See you later," and she left his room, and the building.

A number of jewelry stores the next morning found various baubles missing. Catwoman was having a very busy night...Kal, who now had no recollection of Superman's heroic past and knew only that she was an incredibly evil villainess, was really enjoying herself. She would soon find herself even more into the grip of her evil persona...

Kal had now been in the form of Catwoman for two days, the second of which was spent with no memory of who she had been thanks to the whack on the head she got at the meeting chaired by Luthor that she had originally intended to merely infiltrate. With her mind telling her that she was indeed Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, she had already spent some time with Luthor in bed, and then looting some jewelry stores before morning broke. At the continuation of the meeting the next afternoon, Catwoman was invited to come to the head of the table by Luthor to present to the assembled super criminals the ideas she had first brought to him the night before.

While Catwoman was busy giving Poison Ivy, Toymaster, Brainiac, Metallo, Cheetah, Maxima, Mr. Freeze and Luthor her plans for their conquest, Batman was busy in the Batcave accessing data from the computer about the foes upon whom Kal was supposed to be getting inside info. After finally getting his male body back the night before, with memories of what Mxyzptlk had forced the female body he had occupied to do, Bruce was trying to stay active and keep his mind off the past evening's activities.

Nightwing walked in as Bruce was studying the computer's monitor closely, and said, "I know you probably feel as bad about last night as I do, Bruce, but we have to get over it. Harley and Selina feel just as bad, and Selina is still waiting to hear any word from Kal about the mission so that she can get her own body back. She told me before I came down that being a male is getting to be a bit hard, even if that male is the strongest person on the planet."

"Of course, you're right, Dick," said Bruce. "I'll come upstairs and see if we can talk out some of this with the others."

Alfred had gone to the library to get Selina, who he found hovering at the third tier of books scanning the titles with no need for a ladder. "Sir, or Ma'am, well, Selina, Master Bruce asks you to join him in the dining room," said Alfred.

Superman slowly lowered to ground level, then walked toward Alfred, saying, "Sure Alfred. I'll be there in a moment. I still can't get used to the powers this body has. You know, I probably could have just stood right here and looked at every book with telescopic vision." Selina looked up to where he had been moments before, concentrated, then said, "Yep. Every title plainly visible. This could really come in handy. I suppose Kal had all this worked out years ago."

"No doubt, Ma'am," replied Alfred, "I'm sure Superman learned about his powers as a youngster and developed their use over many years. Now you have to figure them out in a couple of days."

Selina gave him a hard look, then said, "Yes, and here's hoping that I don't have to learn everything before getting Kal back into this body." With that, he headed for the dining room, while Alfred went to track down Harley.

Alfred was right on his first guess. He found Harley in her bedroom, moving one of the dressers from a corner to the center of a wall. "Miss Harley," said Alfred, "I do hope you will settle on a room configuration soon. You're going to wear yourself out moving everything around. Master Bruce is asking you to join him in the dining room."

Harley gave Alfred a jovial jab in his left shoulder, then said, "Sure, Alfred, I'll get there right away. Do you think that the way the bed is laid out next to the dresser below that window looks good?"

"Yes, Ma'am, it looks divine," replied Alfred. "I do hope you don't get any more ideas for moving things."

"Oh, Alfred, come on," she told him. "You know how a woman is never satisfied with her room configuration. I promise I'll leave everything alone for the time being, and I'll get down to the dining room now." Alfred shook his head and watched as the young lady zoomed out her room past him, heading for the dining room. He took his time. They didn't have to wait for him, after all. 'Then again,' he thought, 'I suppose I shouldn't dally too much. Master Bruce likes promptness!'

As Harley came to the table, Bruce brought up the topic of the prior evening's activities. Selina and Harley assured him that they were already starting to get over it, knowing that the cause of it all was safely out of their hair for the time being. Dick grinned, then added, "If I get forced into another female body that is sexually dominant again, I'm going to start to think that somebody is trying to tell me something!"

"Well, Dick," said Selina, "I'm sorry that I got you started in all that with the PED last month. I hope you'll forgive me."

Dick looked toward Superman, and said, "Selina, I had better forgive you. With what you could do to me in that body, I sure wouldn't want to incur your wrath!"

With that, Bruce got back into the conversation. "Speaking of that body, Selina, I still haven't heard any word from Kal as to whether or not Catwoman was able to get any info from the master criminal meeting. How about going to Metropolis again and checking out the situation with your telescopic and X-ray vision? And since you are in his body for the time being, can we start to call you Kal and Superman to reduce the confusion?"

"Good idea, Bruce," he replied. "I'll take along one of the radios to give you on hand info so that you won't have to wait for me to get back. I'll try to put my mind to recognizing my male names." While Kal went to change into the Superman costume, Bruce went to the Batcave to get a radio, Dick went into the kitchen to talk to Alfred, and Harley, for a change, went to the library instead of her room.

In no time, Superman was flying at multi-mach speed to Metropolis. While he was enroute, Catwoman was just finishing her briefing to her colleagues in crime. There was general agreement around the table that her plans were excellent, and should be enacted upon right away. Luthor got up from the table, winked at Catwoman, then nodded his head in the direction of his room. Catwoman waited for most of the group to get up from the table, then discretely headed in the same direction Luthor had gone.

At just that moment, Superman got near enough to scan the building with his super vision. It took a minute for him to get used to looking in on each room, then got on the radio to the Batcave. "Batman, this is Superman. Do you copy?"

In his earplug, Superman heard, "Loud and clear. How about us?"

"Sounds good, Bruce. I see only Cheetah and Poison Ivy still in the meeting room, the rest of the criminals seem to have dispersed to individual rooms or offices. Ah, there's Catwoman. Oh, oh, I don't know just what is going on, but Catwoman is in the same room with Luthor, and they are both disrobing."

Bruce came back on the radio with, "Try using your super hearing, see if you can make out what they're saying."

"Check," he replied. A minute or so later, Kal called Bruce back, saying, "You're not going to believe this! Catwoman is acting like she is the criminal she was only supposed to pretend to be, in fact, she seems even more malevolent than I ever was unless she's putting on one heck of an act for Luthor. She is right now in the process of both discussing crime plans and making passionate love to Luthor! What's she doing with my body?"

"Calm down, Superman," Bruce said. "Something must have happened to the real Kal to have her take on the evil aspects of Catwoman. Now we have to get in there and find out what is going on. Did you say Cheetah and Poison Ivy were still in the meeting room?"

"Let me check...yes, they're both still talking in the meeting room."

"Okay. Here we go again," said Bruce. "Get into the building using your super speed, and grab those two without being seen by any of the others, then bring them back here to the Batcave right away."

As Superman made a dash for the building looking like a blur, he keyed his mike and said, "Bruce, are you planning what I think you're planning?"

As he quickly scooped up the unwitting passengers, he heard, "Yes, it looks like we're going to have to put the PED to use again."

While Superman was on the way back to the Batcave with two anxiously squirming women in his arms, Batman was working with Dick on settingup the PED. Since the subjects they were going to switch with would be still the evil personas in their new male bodies, Bruce set up two seats with restraints on the back, armrests and legs. Bruce called Harley down, had her get into her Batgirl costume for security purposes, then told her what they had planned.

Quickly getting over the initial surprise, Harley changed into her costume, then set about strapping Batman and Nightwing into their seats. Try as they might, the Dynamic Duo could not get free. This was the whole idea of course, because in moments, the duo in the seats would be doing their damnedest to get free. Batgirl set the PED over Nightwing first, then waited for Superman to get in.

After a brief wait, Superman came flying into the Batcave with two kicking and flailing women in his arms, each with a red cloth covering their eyes. "I figured you wouldn't want them seeing the way in or out of here," he said. "I guess I'm probably the only one who can rip this costume, and the cape is now an inch or two shorter!"

"Good idea, Superman," said Batman. "Now, make sure the blindfolds stay in place. Put Cheetah in the holding cell, then bring Poison Ivy over here."

"Batman? What's going on here? I demand to know what you've done with Cheetah and myself," said Poison Ivy.

"Don't fret, Pamela," said Batman. "I wouldn't want any of your leaves to wither! We have plans for you and Priscilla, and need to keep you out of sight for a while. Okay, Batgirl, is it set over Poison Ivy?"

"Check, Batman," she replied.

"Hit the switch, then! Superman, bring Cheetah back here quick, and get the PED repositioned."

The tied down Nightwing started to say, "What the..." when Batgirl said, "Okay, all set again."

Batman said, "Hit the switch." His body then shook its head, and said, "What the hell is going on here?"

Cheetah and Poison Ivy together removed their blindfolds. "Okay, Superman. We're ready to go," remarked Cheetah as she briefly held out her arms and surveyed the body she was now occupying. Poison Ivy made a quick aside to her that at least it looked like she wouldn't be carrying a whip this time, and Cheetah gave her a glaring look.

Once they were out of the Batcave in Superman's arms zooming back to Metropolis, Cheetah said, "Dick, you have to watch every remark you say now. I hope they didn't overhear what you said back in the Batcave."

Putting her green gloved hands to her mouth in mock surprise, Poison Ivy said, "Gosh, Bruce, do you think I don't know that?"

"Just be really careful, especially around the other criminals when we get there. Remember that I'm *not* Bruce, but Priscilla; you, likewise, are now Pamela, and must act as she would."

"Okay, Priscilla. Make sure you remember to call me Poison Ivy, and I'll call you Cheetah."

Superman was going nuts hearing the two girls yakking at each other, and said, "You both need to think of how you're going to act down there. Remember, the others are ruthless criminals, and the two of you are so evil that you make the rest look like angels. You have to lose all your memories and ways of acting as the heroic Batman and Nightwing, become the maleficent Cheetah and Poison Ivy in mind and body to blend in, and join up with Catwoman to work with her."

Superman was just finishing this little speech when he dropped off his two passengers just outside the building. He failed to notice an abrupt change in demeanor of the women as he zoomed off. What Superman was not aware of was that the mellow voice he'd used in talking to Cheetah and Poison Ivy had inadvertently utilized his super hypnotic ability. Instead of merely acknowledging who they were now portraying, both of the ladies now knew nothing more than they truly were who they appeared to be, and if anything, were even more dangerous and evil villainesses than the originals, all thanks to Kal's unwitting power.

As of that moment, instead of having one heroic male in a malevolent female body being checked on by two heroic males in faked evil female bodies, there were now three heroic males lost in malevolent female identities, all striving to be the most evil women they could be. Cheetah and Poison Ivy made their way inside, to find the rest of the group and get back into the thick of things.

Catwoman was just coming out of Lex Luthor's room. Cheetah walked up to her, and said, "I understand you have some good plans to get us all heavily involved in taking over this city. Poison Ivy and I want to work as closely with you as possible."

As Catwoman pulled the cowl down over her head, she looked first at Poison Ivy, then Cheetah, and said, "Well, ladies, I hadn't originally planned on utilizing you very much. But if you're so willing to work closely with me, I think we can actually start going off on our own, and leave these others in our dust. Are you game?"

Cheetah snarled, and answered, "As one cat to another, you know you can count on me!"

Poison Ivy gave Catwoman a loving, yet hateful at the same time glare, and said, "Count me in, too! I can't wait to put my plants to work!"

If any of the other master criminals had seen the trio walking away from Luthor's room, they may have noticed a slight change in the way all three carried themselves. They just seemed so much surer now of what they had to do....

* * * * *

Catwoman was walking down the hallway of the criminal's hideaway with Cheetah and Poison Ivy at her side. To keep you updated, this Catwoman used to be Superman, and Kal El had been put into Selina Kyle's body. She suffered a blow to the head which gave her a temporary amnesia, but as she saw what she was wearing and heard those around her calling her name, it became permanent, and she took on the complete identity of Selina Kyle, Catwoman.

Cheetah was actually Batman, and Bruce Wayne took over her body to try and get close to Catwoman and find out why she was acting as a truly evil Catwoman, and even making love to Lex Luthor. She has lost any connection to her old self, and is now and forever more in the identity of Priscilla Rich, Cheetah. Superman, whose body is currently occupied by an inexperienced Selina Kyle, accidentally utilized his super hypnotism ability in telling her how she had to act after being dropped off.

Poison Ivy started out as Nightwing, and Dick Grayson, who had already spent a good amount of time in Catwoman's body, took on Pamela's form to aid Batman. She, too, has completely forgotten who she used to be and fully adopted her current identity of Pamela Isley, Poison Ivy, because of Superman's error.

Since these three deadly ladies now had no recollection of their past lives, they were probably the most dangerous criminals in the building. Catwoman had already passed on to the assembled group of master criminals her plans for dominating the city. Cheetah and Poison Ivy were now very eager to join with her in her reign of terror, because that was specifically what Superman had instructed them to do.

Catwoman had been making love to Lex Luthor regularly in an effort to get him complacent and give her more information. As they were walking down the hallway, Catwoman had suggested to Cheetah and Poison Ivy that they do likewise with Toymaster and Brainiac to get their confidence. Each agreed, and later that night, Cheetah was eagerly showing off her excellently shaped, blonde haired body to Brainiac, whose male hormones overcame his infinitely high intellect and gave in to her wiles, joining her in some of the most outrageous sexual games he could imagine.

Poison Ivy, being a seductress from the start anyway, had no problem getting Toymaster into her bed. When she found out during their play that he had a fetish for sadism and crossdressing, Poison Ivy went to Catwoman and asked if she could borrow her boots and whip. When Catwoman asked why, Pamela told her about Toymaster, and Catwoman gave her some ideas, and her own costume.

When Poison Ivy got back to her room, she told Toymaster that he was to do as he was told for the remainder of the evening. Nodding eagerly, he agreed. She then told him that she would be leaving the room for twenty minutes, and when she came back, she had better find Toymaster dressed in her Poison Ivy costume. He gave her a questioning look, but nodded. Pamela left him, and went to the costuming shop on the top floor of the building and retrieved two wigs, one long and black, the other shoulder length and red.

While there, she got dressed in Catwoman's costume, envying her for what it did for her body. After she zipped on the boots, Pamela pulled her red hair up into a wig cap, then put on the long black wig. After brushing it out, she pulled the cowl down over her head, looked into the vertical mirror on the door, and saw what a good dominatrix outfit the Catwoman costume made. She made it a point right then and there to change her own costume to a more form fitting type, and utilize her spare time as a dominating mistress.

When she got back to her room, Pamela rapped sharply on the door with the hasp of her whip. She heard a meek, high-pitched voice say, "Come in."

She opened the door to see what looked very much like Poison Ivy with a bit more stomach than usual, and a male head on top of her body. "Well, I see you did as you were told, Poison Ivy. Let me see," she said as she walked over to him and stuck her clawed hands into his crotch. "Very good, you even hid away your balls and folded back your penis. You've done this before, haven't you?"

"Yes, I must admit that I've been doing this type of thing pretty regularly for a number of years. If I had some breast forms I could really do this costume justice. By the way, how did you get Catwoman's costume? You look incredible in it!"

As Pamela reached into her bag, she said, "Thank you for the compliment, slave. As far as you are concerned, for the rest of this night, I am Catwoman, and I'm going to make you thoroughly enjoy being Poison Ivy. Funny you should ask for breast forms. Here, insert these into the chest cavities of the costume." Toymaster reached out and took from her two huge, DD or better, silicone breast forms, which he carefully tucked into the front of his costume.

As Toymaster reached with his hands to cup his new breasts, Catwoman said, "Now we have some work to do. Get over to the dressing table." Not yet used to the heels on the boots he was wearing, Toymaster wobbled a bit, but sat down when he got to the table. Catwoman went to work with the makeup on hand at the table, and soon the face of Pamela Isley was looking back at her. "Now for the crowning glory. Close your eyes, slave, and prepare to meet Poison Ivy!" Pamela reached into the bag again, pulled out the flaming red wig, shook it into shape, then placed it on Toymaster's head. "Now you may open your eyes, Poison Ivy," Pamela said.

When the beautifully made up eyelids opened, their owner saw a perfect rendition of Poison Ivy looking back at her. "I even borrowed one of your own toys from the costume shop," Pamela remarked. "Open your mouth and say, 'Ah'." As Poison Ivy opened her glossy red lips wide, she felt something being popped into the back of her throat.

When she started to say, "What was that?" she heard Poison Ivy's voice!

"Now then," said Pamela, "I'm going to have just a bit of fun with you this evening, but tomorrow, we're going to have a lot of fun. At the meeting, Poison Ivy will be there, but Toymaster will have sent word that he was sitting out the meeting. I'm sure Catwoman will want to be there in the glory of her own costume, so I'm going to the shop upstairs and come up with something entirely new to wear for a costume. Won't everyone be surprised when I come in with a previously unseen costume, and then reveal who I really am. They'll all start to wonder who the Poison Ivy is at the meeting!"

At the meeting the next day, Luthor announced to all on hand that Toymaster sent his regrets that he wouldn't be able to attend. Catwoman gave a rundown on what had been accomplished so far, and where the plans would take them next. As she was finishing, a brief knock was heard at the door. Catwoman said, "I think we should see who is wanting to join us!"

She strode over to the door, and opened it wide to reveal a female in a tightly fitting dark green lycra unitard, with bright green spike heeled boots coming up to her mid thigh, matching gloves coming to her shoulders, and long red hair which fell past her waist, which had a wide pale green belt tightly encircling it. "Hello, everybody," she seductively uttered. "What you're seeing is the new, improved Poison Ivy!"

All eyes turned to the person they had thought was Poison Ivy. "You're now looking at the result of an experiment in costuming and makeup from last night. If she wants to remain in the form she is now occupying, she can become my assistant, Ivy Leaf. Ivy, why don't you pull off your wig and give everybody a hint at your true form."

As her wig was pulled off, the wavy brown hair of Toymaster showed up, and a collective gasp was heard from around the table. The wig was carefully placed back on, and Ivy Leaf was heard to say, "If there is no problem with my doing so, I love the idea of staying in this form."

When they heard her voice, another gasp went out. Luthor spoke for all, "No matter what shape or form you take, you're welcome here as long as you contribute. And I must say, Poison Ivy, that your new costume is a real stunner. Please take the seat that Toymaster had been occupying." Once she had become seated, the meeting continued, with Catwoman continuing to brief her plan for defeating the Justice League and taking over Metropolis.

In the Batcave, Superman and Batgirl were monitoring the bugs which had been placed on Cheetah and Poison Ivy. They soon realized the extent of the error on Kal's part in hypnotizing Bruce and Dick into becoming the actual Cheetah and Poison Ivy. Batgirl then made a comment that got him really anxious. "Have you noticed, Superman, that we now have you and I, ex-criminals, as the only heroes left? The heroes are now all deadly criminals."

Superman thought for a moment, then said, "Harley, it is starting to look like I'd better get used to being in this body. Do you think I could pull the same trick with my hypnotism and get Batman and Nightwing to lose their identities of Priscilla and Pamela and become two more heroes to work with us?"

Batgirl turned to look at Batman and Nightwing, still wriggling in their bonds, then turned back to Superman and said, "As effective as your own voice was with Bruce and Dick, and how well the Bat Hypno Disc worked on you and I, I think there is a better option if we want to get these two on our side. See if you can get a hold of Wonder Woman via the JLA communicator, and ask if her magic lasso will do the trick for us."

"Good idea, Harley! Let's try and find the JLA setting on the Bat communications set," Superman said. After a few anxious moments, the correct setting was found, and Wonder Woman was on hand in the satellite. When advised of the problem, she said she'd be right there.

Wonder Woman's image solidified into shape moments later, thanks to the JLA transporter. Batgirl whispered into Superman's ear, "Did that idea come from Star Trek, or does the JLA have a lot going for it that I don't know about yet?"

Superman chuckled, then said, "Welcome to the Batcave, Wonder Woman. As I told you, your old nemesis, Cheetah, is now in Batman's body over there," pointing to the tied up heroes, "and Poison Ivy is in Nightwing. Do you think your lasso could alter their minds to fit the forms they are wearing?"

Wonder Woman walked over to Superman, and resisted the urge to give him a hug, knowing who was in that form now, then said, "I've never tried to do such a radical personality change with the lasso before, but I believe it is perfectly capable of changing a hero to a villain or a villain to a hero. Its magic is that strong. I've often wondered what might happen if an enemy of mine ever got their hands on the lasso and used it on me. I shudder at the thought!"

"Then let's give it a try," Superman said.

Wonder Woman draped the lasso around Batman, then spent ten minutes giving him details of his life with which to start over. The same was done for Nightwing. The two were then led to the computer to try and assimilate as much data about their backgrounds as possible, as quickly as possible. Wonder Woman then suggested that they be taken to the JLA satellite and given heavy duty information transfusion via the training systems hooked into the JLA computers.

Superman wrapped the two in his cape, then shot up to the satellite to get them started on becoming the new Batman and Nightwing. Superman also decided to make use of the training aids, since he had a lot to learn himself, before he could fill his current role. Kal had resigned himself to staying as Superman, with no end in sight. The female body he used to occupy was now actively involved in a life of crime, and not readily available for reoccupation.

With all three guys gone, Batgirl and Wonder Woman decided to go to Metropolis and see if they could make any headway in getting at the criminal cartel. If they had known what they were getting into, they probably would have stayed in Gotham City. For if Superman, Batman, Nightwing and the JLA had any hopes of working with Wonder Woman and Batgirl in the future, those hopes were soon to be dashed.

Catwoman had given Luthor the idea to install high technology sensors all around the building, and they paid off. Wonder Woman was spotted via infrared sensors as she approached the building from aloft, and Batgirl was detected by the motion sensors covering the six foot perimeter around the building at ground level. Brainiac and Cheetah were sent to grab Wonder Woman as soon as she alighted on the roof, and Poison Ivy and Ivy Leaf went to detain Batgirl as soon as she entered the building.

Wonder Woman and Batgirl both put up spirited fights, but were soon overwhelmed. The Amazon wasn't prepared for the combined physical prowess of the freshly invigorated Cheetah and the crafty plotting of moves given her by Brainiac. It didn't help her that Brainiac was slowing the Amazon's own mental processes at the same time with his mental powers. Neither of the criminals came away unscarred, but Wonder Woman was securely in their clutches.

Batgirl was a relatively easy take for Poison Ivy and Ivy leaf. Ivy had a shrewd cunning mind and deep knowledge of tactics, while Batgirl was still new enough to her costume that she didn't think to make use of her utility belt in the quick and hectic battle. She relied strictly on her hands and feet to try and fight off the two villainesses which were overwhelming her. Ivy Leaf got a real thrill out of her first battle. Toymaster had never had this much fun.

The two heroines were taken individually to separate holding rooms, to keep them from trying to do anything together to escape. Both women were stripped of their costumes in order to be both humiliated and for the costumes to be analyzed for any bugs or other alerting devices.

Wonder Woman's costume and accessories were sent directly to Luthor, who worked with Brainiac in checking out every piece. They both at some points in their careers had been on the receiving end of the lasso, and started to think of uses to which it could be put. Catwoman walked in on this discussion, and noting the direction in which it was going, gave them the ultimate suggestion for it's use. Their two prisoners were now about to become their two latest allies.

While the two captives were left stewing, Catwoman and Poison Ivy went to the costuming shop. There they assembled a pair of costumes for their new allies. Each woman's costume was put in a bag, then brought back to Luthor.

Luthor and Catwoman then proceeded to Batgirl's room first. Upon entering, Catwoman walked up to her, raised her chin with her clawed fingers, and said, "Soon, my dear, your fears will be relieved. You have a new life ahead of you." Turning to Luthor, she said, "Okay, Lex. Let's put that lasso to good use!"

Luthor walked up to Batgirl, then slowly wrapped the magic lasso around her torso. "You must now obey every instruction I give you. Do you understand?"

"Yes," she replied.

"You have been stripped of your Batgirl identity. Is that correct?"

"No," she said. "I'm not in my costume, but I still have on my wig."

Catwoman reached over and lifted the red haired wig off the still defiant woman, revealing a head of beautiful blonde hair. "Now why would you ever want to cover that hair up?" Luthor said. "You are now no longer Batgirl in any way. You even have no name on which to fall back. Now, who are you?"

The blonde looked puzzled, then said, "I don't know who I am."

"You are Jessica Adams, and you wear a costume to become the villainess known as Black Onyx." Luthor then spent five minutes giving her more details about her life of crime, and told her to get dressed after he and Catwoman left. They would come back to get her shortly.

As they walked to the room in which the Amazon was being held, Luthor and Catwoman discussed how well the lasso had done it's job. "We have to make sure we keep that lasso in secure holding," remarked Catwoman. "It is way too dangerous to let it get into the hands of any enemies."

"You've got that right," said Luthor. "Once we've used it on Wonder Woman, why don't you hide it where only you know the location, that way even I would not be able to divulge it's location under duress. Only you would have access to it for any future use, and I know you can be trusted with it."

Catwoman smiled, then said to Lex, "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Lex. I hope you don't ever change your mind." With that, they entered Wonder Woman's holding room.

Wonder Woman's deepest fears all came to the surface when she saw the lasso in Luthor's hands. Catwoman noted the fear showing on her face. "What's the matter, Wonder Woman, cat got your tongue? You look like you've just seen a ghost. Could it be the ghost of what you fear to become?"

The Amazon steeled herself, then said, "Nothing you could do would ever scare me. I have no fears whatsoever of facing whatever you intend to do!" With that, Luthor started wrapping the lasso around her awesome chest.

"First of all, Wonder Woman, I order you to make no efforts to escape. You are to remain completely motionless until I tell you otherwise. Understand?"

"Yes," she said, not even able to nod.

Luthor then continued, "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to let all your restraints go? Wonder no more! All your inhibitions are freed, you have no moral background on which to base your actions. You are an Amazon. You have the strength, wisdom and beauty of a Goddess. You have no recollection of anyone ever known as Wonder Woman, or Diana Prince. Your amazon abilities are put to use as the super villainess called Ultra Woman. When you aren't in her costume and performing crimes, you go by the name Candace Cane. You might note that a short form for Candace is Candy. Candy Cane makes her living at the oldest profession, so make sure besides your Ultra Woman costume, you put together a large wardrobe of sexy clothes. You'll be needing them." Lex continued to feed more and more humiliating details of her new life into the Amazon, then told her to get into her costume after they left, and wait for them to come back to her.

Luthor and Catwoman made their way to Black Onyx's room. After knocking softly, they heard a commanding voice say, "Enter." When they opened the door, they were greeted to the sight of Black Onyx standing with her hands around her waist, proudly thrusting her chest forward. She was in a head to toe glossy black costume, with a wickedly shaped cowl covering her head and face, openings over her eyes and mouth and her blonde hair streaming out the back. Her breasts stood out proudly, individually jutting out from the material surrounding her chest. Her waist was constricted in a corset-like belt, bringing it in to an incredibly small diameter. The hands she had encircling this tiny waist were encased in gloves with sharp claws at each fingertip. Her legs, from mid-thigh down, were in boots whose arch and heels gave her shapely legs even more curve.

"Welcome to our group, Black Onyx," said Catwoman.

"I'm glad to be here with you," she replied. "Let's get to work!"

The trio then went back to Ultra Woman's room. Knocking there, they heard a seductive voice say, "Come on in."

Luthor looked to Catwoman and winked, then they opened the door. Even after Catwoman had put together the costume, and Lex gave Candice all her programming, they weren't prepared for what they saw. Standing before them was a black haired goddess in the briefest possible pink bodice, pink ultra short shorts, pink gloves going all the way to her shoulders, and knee high pink boots with six-inch stiletto heels. "Wow, Ultra Woman," said Luthor. "That outfit will stun anyone just by looking at you. Are you ready to join us now?"

Making sure to wiggle her hips as seductively as possible while doing so, Ultra Woman walked up to Luthor and smiled, then turned to Catwoman and Black Onyx, and said, "I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be. I just can't wait to sink my teeth into fighting the JLA and joining you in taking over Metropolis!"

The four of them then walked toward the meeting room. Of the four, only one had started out as a super criminal, and the other three were now the newest master criminals, along with Cheetah and Poison Ivy. Would the newly created heroes be able to contend with this hellacious group of super villains and villainesses? Only time would tell.


Playing Games With the Justice League

Long after all the members of the new Alliance for Evil had left the planning session, Lex Luthor and Catwoman were still discussing fine details of what they could do to bring down the Justice League of America. As he was about to call it quits after deciding on nothing promising, Catwoman had an image form in her mind. The psyche of Kal El, Superman, was still buried deep in her mind, shoved deep into the background by the brief bout with amnesia Catwoman had when she had first come to the meeting a week earlier. The vague notion she was getting was of the Psyche Exchange Device in the Batcave. She could not understand why she was getting this thought, but felt it significant enough to tell Luthor about it.

Luthor took this info into consideration. If what Catwoman was seeing in her mind was correct, regardless of how it got there, it would be ripe for the picking. Black Onyx had told Luthor about Superman taking Batman and Nightwing to the JLA satellite for intensive study. When Luthor asked her what they were going there to study, she could not recall, but had the impression they would be gone for a long time. With what Catwoman had just told him, Lex figured that the Batcave must be completely unmanned and ripe for the plucking. "Now, if only we knew where the Batcave was," Lex mused.

Catwoman touched a clawed finger to her forehead, closed her eyes tightly, then said, "I seem to be seeing a cave with a tunnel entrance outside of Gotham City, mmmm...there's a long dirt path leading to the tunnel, and a bunch of warning signs just outside the entrance."

Lex took all this in, then replied, "Thanks, Catwoman. I guess maybe you must have had some contact with Batman that you don't remember clearly. That blow to your head must have scrambled some of your memories. Anyway, this gives us a start on where to look for the Batcave. Let's get an aircraft and start searching for the tunnel from the air."

After chartering a Cessna 172 at Metropolis Executive Airport, Lex and Selina, in civilian clothes of course, made their way south to Gotham City. Lex, being the pilot, was seated on the left side of the plane, while Selina sat on the right. Selina was tasked with doing the majority of the searching, since Lex did have to do instrument scans and watch for other traffic in the sky around them. Flying grid patterns in the quadrants around the city, the Cessna had been flying for three hours and Lex was about to give up for the time being to refuel when Selina cried out, "Lex! There it is, bank back around to the right and go lower, you should see the dirt road easily. The tunnel entrance was a bit difficult to see, but I'm sure I saw what I pictured in my mind!"

Lex threw the Cessna into a tight banked turn to starboard, descending rapidly. After 180 degrees of turn, Lex straightened out for a few seconds to get back to where they were when Selina called out, then resumed turning. Lex spotted the dirt road as he was bringing the wings level, then dove lower to spot where the path ended in the hillside. Sure enough, there was an entrance to a tunnel, with bushes around its perimeter and warning signs on each side. "Bingo, Catwoman! You found our target for us. Good job!"

Lex had Selina get out the aeronautical chart of the area from the sack he had placed on the rear bench seat, then asked her to mark in grease pencil the location of the tunnel entrance. This done, they made a fuel stop at a small airfield west of Gotham City, then flew back to Metropolis.

While flying back, Lex asked, "Selina, who do you think we could work with if we want to use the Psyche Exchange Device on Justice League members?"

Catwoman searched her mind for a moment, and found more references she couldn't recall from the past she now thought to be hers. "Lex, an obvious idea would be to get some of each JLA member's rogues gallery together, and have them switch bodies with the heroes. The villains in the heroes' bodies would be able to bring more JLA members into their clutches, while the heroes in the villains' bodies could have the magic lasso used on them to alter their minds. That way, eventually the entire JLA could be composed of our felonious friends, and the JLA members themselves would become the new crooks."

Lex liked the idea, then said to her, "Who do you figure we should get the ball rolling with?"

Selina thought about this for a few seconds, then said, "Let's start with a total change for our first target. Try to get a hold of Star Sapphire in Coast City, then we can lure Green Lantern to a position near her, and switch their minds!"

"That might be a bit more difficult than you think, Catwoman," Lex responded. "Star Sapphire is only around briefly. Her alter ego, Carol Ferris, is only forced to take on her evil persona when exposed to her star sapphire gem. It is currently locked up for safekeeping in the Coast City Police HQ."

"Well, Lex," she replied, "in that case, we have another plane trip to make. Jet, this time! We should have no great problem getting our hands on the gem, with our combined skills, then we can pay a visit to our dear friend, Carol Ferris!"

Lex turned to her and smiled with an evil smirk.

* * * * *

With their costumes and gear packed in checked luggage so they would not be X-rayed by scanners, Lex and Selina boarded a United Airlines nonstop jet to Coast City the next evening. With the aircraft chasing the sun on their westbound flight, they managed to arrive in Coast City only two hours later than they left, in local time. After picking up a rental car, the two found a motel room to stay in just outside the city.

After changing into their costumes, Catwoman grabbed the magic lasso and tucked it into the weapons bag she'd attached to her belt. "Why did you bring that along?" Lex asked her.

"It may come in handy getting the guards at Police HQ to cooperate with us," she replied.

Luthor chuckled, then said, "You know, Catwoman, I'm starting to wonder just who is the brains of this outfit!"

She smiled, then said, "Let's get going, dummy!"

Police HQ was easy enough to find downtown, and Luthor soon had the car parked in a secure spot two blocks away. After giving the building a quick inspection while walking around it, Catwoman suggested that they enter via the squad car garage set one floor underground. They stole their way amongst the parked vehicles just in case any late showers were around. Luthor and Catwoman soon found themselves at a door that they couldn't believe was actually unlocked. "They're certainly making this easy for us, aren't they, Lex," she whispered to him. "We're only getting started, don't get too confident," he whispered back. Lex cracked open the door, got a quick glimpse of what was beyond, then opened it all the way. "Our luck seems to be holding, Catwoman," Lex said. "There isn't anyone around, even in the dispatchers cage. Let's head upstairs, there's bound to be somebody at the watch desk."

It took a lot for each of them to resist the urge to barf from the odors in the stairwell. The two went up to the next level, where the door was conveniently labeled, "Firing Range & Storage". They continued to the next floor, where they found what they were looking for. The door read, "City Desk, Watch Station & Holding Cells" and they eased it open slowly. They saw only one person, a Sergeant sitting at the watch desk doing a crossword puzzle. How much luckier could they possibly get?

With his attention and eyes down on the puzzle on his desktop, the policeman would most likely not see them coming until they got to him. Just then it dawned on Luthor to ask Catwoman a question. "I just thought of something, Catwoman. How have we gotten this far without my hearing your heels clicking on the tile floor?"

"Silly boy," she replied, while lifting up her left foot behind her to show him, "I put rubber sleeves over the heel tips before we entered the building."

Luthor shrugged, then motioned her to join him in sneaking up on the desk sergeant. While they were slowly inching their way down the hallway, Catwoman reached into her weapons bag and pulled out the lasso. By the time they were at the desk's side, she had tied a slip knot in the lasso.

Catwoman quickly slipped the knotted lasso over the policeman, and before he could say a word, she ordered him to remain still and silent. Lex stepped in front of him, then Catwoman ordered him to answer any questions Lex asked. Lex inquired as to the location of the security vault holding the sapphire, and whether there were any other officers on duty between here and there. The officer gritted his teeth as if to try and not say anything, but told Lex the gem was in a vault on the fourth floor in the Commissioner's office, and that the building was unoccupied above this floor at that time of night. They left him with the lasso still on, and the instruction to remain rigidly still without attempting to escape or yell out. Lex and Catwoman went to the elevator and hit the button for the fourth floor.

The elevator opened to a sign listing office numbers and their location relative to the sign. The Commissioner's office was at the end of the hallway on the right. The two made quick time getting down the hallway, easily jimmied the door open, then found the safe against the wall behind his desk. Lex got out of his own weapons kit a safe combination computer, which he positioned next to the combination lock. He turned it on, and after the two had waited only seven minutes, the computer displayed the combination in digital numbers on its face.

Lex made quick work of dialing in the combination, then pulled the door wide open. The gem was in a box plainly labeled "Star Sapphire" and Lex grabbed it. With the box now in his bag, Lex resealed the safe door, and he and Catwoman left the office exactly as they'd found it, minus one small item, of course.

When they got back to the watch desk, Catwoman picked up the end of the lasso and ordered the officer to fall asleep. As he nodded off, she unraveled the lasso from his chest, coiled it tightly, then placed it back in her weapons bag.

Again moving swiftly and silently back to the garage in case any late comers were around, Luthor and Catwoman soon found themselves back at the exit from the garage. Catwoman stopped briefly to remove the sleeves from her heel tips, then clicked proudly on their way back to the car. After he noted that it was still only 10PM, Lex said, "Selina, we still have time to get back to the hotel and call Miss Ferris."

The Feline Felon purred in her delight, and said, "Oh boy, more fun!"

It was 10:20 when they put through the call, asking information to give them the number then make the connection. The phone rang four times, and an answering machine was just starting when a hurried feminine voice said, "Hello. Sorry about letting the machine get started."

"Good evening, Ms. Ferris," Selina answered. "I am a friend of Batman's from Gotham City, and I just got into town. I need you to come to my motel room to see some Green Lantern material Batman entrusted me to bring to Coast City for you."

"It's awfully late at night. What have you got that is so important?"

"It is very sensitive material," Selina said in a serious tone, "and this isn't a secure phone line. I also don't feel safe trying to get the material to you, so you will have to come to the material."

"Okay, I guess I can drive over. Which motel are you in?"

"I'm at the Budget Inn on I-5 where the bypass intersects it, in room number 106."

"I know where that is; give me about forty-five minutes to get there, give or take a few due to traffic. I'll see you a little after 11."

"Thanks a lot, Carol. It is vital that you see what I have for you. Bye!" Selina turned to Luthor, and said, "We've got her!"

A few minutes after 11PM, Selina heard a car pull up in front of their room. She and Lex were now in the clothes they'd flown in so as to not arouse any suspicions. When Carol tapped on the door, Selina edged it open to see who was there, to make it look good, then opened it fully to ask her in. Lex was in the restroom, so Carol saw only Selina. "What have you got that was so important you had to fly it out here from Gotham City?" Carol asked.

Selina took Carol's coat, then said, "Have a seat, Carol, I'll go get it."

She went into the restroom, then they both watched through the slightly ajar door to wait for Carol to get settled and comfortable. Lex then left the restroom with Selina right behind him. Carol looked up when she detected the motion in her peripheral vision, then gasped. "I know you! You're Lex Luthor. What are you doing here?"

"Selina and I have a little present for you, Miss Ferris," Lex said. He brought the box to her head level, since she was still seated, and opened it. "Do you recognize this gem, Miss Ferris? I understand it has a certain attraction for you!"

Carol looked upon the glowing purple gem, then said, "I feel so different...what's happening to me?!?" Carol's clothes began to disappear, to be replaced with a royal pink costume. The close fitting leotard on her upper body left absolutely nothing to the imagination as to the shape of the body it was containing, and Carol's body was in excellent condition. As her sneakers faded away, high heeled pink boots that came almost to her knees came into view. Elbow length purple gloves were on her arms, a pink domino mask formed on her face, and a pink tiara with a hole in its center appeared in the hair over her forehead.

"Here, Star Sapphire," said Lex as he handed her the gem, "I believe this belongs in that hole on your tiara!"

Star Sapphire was now back!

Lex and Selina changed back into their costumes, then told Star Sapphire about their plans for using the PED. She was thrilled with the idea of taking on the form of her lover, Green Lantern, and watching him take her place as Star Sapphire. When details had been discussed, they made the decision to avoid delays and hassles with the airline by having Star Sapphire fly them all back to Gotham City. Not even bothering to check out of the motel or return the rental car, Luthor and Catwoman gathered what they had brought with them, then watched as Star Sapphire formed a purple aura around them and took off with them in tow, heading east northeast for Gotham City.

When they realized just how fast Star Sapphire must have been moving, Luthor and Catwoman gave each other a look of wonder. In only forty minutes from when they left the hotel on the west coast of the USA, they were now at the tunnel entrance outside Gotham City on the northeast coast. They didn't even want to think about the Mach number they must have gotten to. "Magic powers have their benefits," Catwoman remarked to Luthor candidly.

He shook his head, then motioned them to the tunnel entrance. "Star Sapphire," he said, "do us a favor and scout ahead into this tunnel to see if there are any impediments between here and the cave at its end."

"Sure, Luthor," she replied, and took off at a blinding speed into the tunnel.

"I'm going to really enjoy working with her," Catwoman remarked. "She has no fear or dreads whatsoever. What she dares, she does. That woman is one hell of a teammate to have!"

"Here, here," replied Lex. "With her in Green Lantern's body, they will never realize that their fearless Hal Jordan is no longer there!"

Moments later, Star Sapphire came zooming back out of the tunnel. Alighting in front of Luthor with her hands straddling her waist, she told him that the tunnel was clear and that the cave at the end was dark, but chock full of computers, communications gear, and lots of vehicles.

"Yes, indeed," said Luthor. "We have come to the Batcave! Star Sapphire, could you give us a slower trip through the tunnel to the cave?"

Star Sapphire raised a glove to the cover her mouth and said, "Oh! Did I scare the infamous Lex Luthor with my transit speed? Don't worry, Lex, I'll float you through the tunnel so slowly you'll be able to watch the stalactites forming!"

"Okay, Sapphire, point taken," said Lex. "Don't take a snail's pace, just get us into the cave without zipping us so fast we don't see the walls."

She once again formed a purple aura around the group, then at a jogging pace, floated them along the access roadway in the tunnel until with a flair, she deposited them on the entry floor of the Batcave.

Lex made it his first order of business to find the PED and figure out how it functioned. He found the two components in a side room on the computer side of the cave, one set on a chair and another in a hand held unit on a bench. For the time being, he decided to leave them right there.

As Catwoman looked around, seeming to recall having been there before, Star Sapphire followed her, taking in all the bat paraphernalia and relics situated in various spots around the cave. Luthor checked out the computers and communications gear, noting the JLA equipment on the radio set. Then, to their surprise, they heard the elevator on the side of the cave hissing.

Luthor told the ladies to hide quickly, and as they found equipment to scurry behind, he dropped underneath the work table near the radios. From there, he could still see the elevator, and he watched as a dapper grey haired old man stepped jauntily out of it. "Must be Alfred, Batman's butler," mused Luthor. Then an idea struck him. When Alfred moved away from where he was hiding, Lex worked his way to the pillar Star Sapphire was hiding behind. He quickly told her what she needed to do, and she nodded.

Alfred heard a rush of air, and looking up, saw a pink clad female flying toward him. She halted in midair above and in front of him, then a ray of purple light flowed from the gem on her tiara, enveloping him. Alfred knew better than to ask what was going on, and went with the flow as Star Sapphire brought him to the bench next to the hand held PED unit. Once there, he was surprised to see Catwoman once again, but why was she being strapped into the chair by that bald headed gentleman? The 'bald headed gentleman' turned to Alfred and said, "Allow me to introduce myself, Alfred. I am Lex Luthor. You are going to help us bring a member of the JLA here to work with us!"

"How will I be doing that, Sir?", Alfred asked.

"You just watch," was all Luthor said.

When he finished strapping in Catwoman, who actually seemed to be enjoying the bondage, Luthor walked over to Alfred, held the PED over his head, then turned it on.

Seconds later, Alfred said, "Okay, Lex. I am now set to contact the JLA! Let's get going."

Luthor turned toward Catwoman, and said, "Have fun being Catwoman for a while, old man. I hope you enjoy the bondage as much as the person now in your body did!"

"Oh my!" was all she said, as she shook her head from side to side. This was the second time in as many weeks that Alfred had been bound tightly in a voluptuous female body.

Luthor and Alfred then made their way to the JLA comm console, turned on the alert signal on the transmitter, then got Flash responding from the monitor on the satellite. "Alfred," Flash said, "what's the emergency?"

Alfred took on as poised a look as he could, then said, "Mr. Flash, I know Batman is still going through training up there. Could you possibly send Green Lantern down here to the Batcave? I've found a problem in the Batcave's exhaust system that I believe Green Lantern's power ring can rectify temporarily whilst I get hard repairs done."

"Sure thing, Alfred. I'm sure GL will be glad to help you out. I'll send him right down!"

Lex saw how much she was enjoying it, and left Catwoman tied up, then added to her thrills by gagging her. He moved the PED to the other chair, and then Luthor had Star Sapphire sit there and get tied up the same way he'd done Catwoman. She did not take kindly to the bondage she was being subjected to, but knew it would not last long. Alfred picked up the remote PED, then waited near where the JLA transporter would be depositing Green Lantern. In moments, the green clad hero popped into view, then walked toward Alfred.

"Where's the problem, Alfred?" he asked. As he held up the PED, Alfred said, "This little jewel of a machine gave out this morning, Mr. Lantern, Sir. Take a look at it would you, before using your ring to replace it while I work on it?"

As Green Lantern came to him, Alfred held the PED high then activated it. Green Lantern felt something odd happening, then moments later was looking across the Batcave at Alfred standing next to him! "What's going on..." she started to say, when she heard her voice! She looked down, and saw the costume she was wearing.

She then looked up again, and saw Catwoman walking toward her with what looked for all the world like Wonder Woman's magic lasso.

Shortly after changing Star Sapphire and Green Lantern, Luthor had put Catwoman and Alfred back into their own bodies, with Catwoman giving him a grin as he removed her gag then bondage straps. Before Catwoman got any closer, she asked again, "What's going on? How is it that I'm in a female body, wearing what looks like a Star Sapphire costume?"

Catwoman told her, "We have put Star Sapphire into your body, Green Lantern. That's not just 'a' female body you're in, that is Star Sapphire's body! And just to make sure you enjoy being there, here, let me make your stay more comfortable!"

With that, Catwoman wrapped the lasso around Star Sapphire's ample chest. "Now you must answer me truthfully, and follow all instructions I give you. How are you dressed?"

"As Star Sapphire," she answered.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Green Lantern."

"Why would Green Lantern be wearing Star Sapphire's body and costume? You're not Green Lantern! You are Star Sapphire! Your gem gives you awesome powers, and is now going to control your mind. Submit to it. Allow it to form you in its image!"

A blank look formed on the pink clad woman's face briefly, then a vile sneer formed on her lips. "Yes, of course," she said in a darkly evil voice, "I am indeed Star Sapphire!"

With that, a blast of purple energy incinerated the bonds holding her to the chair.

As she stood, Star Sapphire said, "Stand back, you fools! Watch as I transform myself into a form far more fitting for my darkly evil personality."

With that, they watched as a purple glow formed around her. Moments later, standing where the bright pink woman had been now appeared a woman in blood red, with her costume consisting of an armored breastplate over a body stocking that looked like it was painted on. Her gloves ran all the way to her shoulders, and now had two inch long claws at the fingertips. Most shocking were her boots, which appeared to be in overlapping armored sections, starting with a high arch at the foot and going all the way to her crotch. Her mask and tiara had turned into a one piece face and head covering crownlike affair, with the gem proudly mounted high on the front. Her hair streamed out the back of the crown, coming straight down her back to her ass.

"Meet the New Star Sapphire!" she proclaimed.

Lex Luthor, Catwoman, and their new ally Green Lantern all stood in awe for a moment, then Catwoman summed up their feelings best, "What have we created here?!?"

"I'm your worst nightmares, you fools!" was her reply. "You didn't have enough with giving me the power of the gem. No, you had to give me to the gem! Instead of being someone named Star Sapphire, I AM the Star Sapphire! I hope you understand the difference, because you are the reason I am now who I am."

Star Sapphire then left them, still standing in awe. She didn't fly off. She just disappeared, using some type of teleporting capability. Green Lantern broke out of his stupor, and said, "I'm glad to be in this form now, able to bring more JLA members to a similar fate. I hope your control of the other changes is better than what we just saw!"
