Super Jaded 2 - Chapter 11B

Chapter 11B: In Which Nina And Fern Meet Iris’ Father After Their Space Honeymoon

Space was as infinite as it was beautiful. I couldn’t imagine spending a better place for a second honeymoon than this. The last time Fern and I were up here, she was attempting to strangle me to death on the moon. Now, with both of us finally at an equal power level, we could appreciate the serene silence of the cosmos like the goddesses we always deserved to be. 

The chilly vacuum of space tickled my skin—but that was all it could muster. I could spend hours lounging around up here, days even, perfectly content and comfortable. Of course, Fern and I were also up here for an important task, so I wasn’t about to brush it off.

In mere seconds, I was at the moon, giving it a hearty punch of frustration which sent cracks spiderwebbing along the side of the gray satellite for miles.

Ngh! Where the hell did they go!? my mind exclaimed, teeth gritting with rage. I accentuated my anger by ripping the American flag out of the moon and throwing it so hard it speared the International Space Station. Bullseye.

Fern landed behind me and threatened to embrace me from behind, only to dupe me out and sneak a rather enjoyable kiss on my cheek. Damn, I’d almost forgotten that at this point, she had more experience wielding three serums than I had. 

Don’t get so worked up, my love, Fern assured, soothing my rapturous heart with just a single hand on my back. I really was that easy. They’re using the vacuum of space to their advantage, masking their noises and scents from our superior senses. It’ll be hard to find them…

She trailed off, only to turn her attention to me with bedroom eyes and a Mona Lisa smile. ...But not impossible. We can reach speeds they can only dream of. You are no longer officially a slowpoke.

I matched her smile. Fern never failed to lift my spirits. 

Not to mention, Neensy, we can hold our breath a lot longer than they can. Unless they manage to somehow find another habitable planet, they’ll eventually have to make their way back to Earth, and we’ll be waiting for them when they do.

I hate it, babe. How could we have not seen this coming? I growled in frustration, pessimistic thoughts resurfacing after years of only bliss. Of course some spiteful assholes would get their hands on the serum…

We will deal with that in time. For now let’s focus on finding these mortals—and yes, that’s what they are to us, mortals. You and I are gods, we must never forget that. Fern stated with pride.

I love seeing you so confident… I floated closer to her and kissed her while our breasts collided, nipples gently rubbing from side to side. Don’t get me wrong, ‘mortal’ you was adorable as fuck. But goddess Fern? She’s something else…

Fern smiled before we locked eyes with massive craters a few miles away. A reminder of the battle we once had between each other.

I’m so sorry for hurting you, baby… Fern cooed. It was before I saw the truth.

I loved how she couldn’t help but understand me in a situation like this. Nina Eternal, once the brief damsel, now a rightful titan of muscular, feminine force once more. We were something more powerful than either of us alone, and now able to experience something much more pleasurable for Fern—now that we can both fuck at full force without my wife having to hold back. Initially, I was willing to take her spine-shattering fingerings, even as the quakes from my orgasm blew trees back, hers trembled infrastructure. I did have a good healing factor. In fact, had I not.

Wait, what was Fern talking about again? Damn, I had spaced out looking into her eyes and just reminisced like crazy. Thank goodness this three-Serum body allows me to slow down my perception of time to a point where I can go on a whole side-tangent. Anyways, I allowed time to flow like normal again to hear Fern.

And, I must admit, my side projects will become a lot easier now that both of us are at three serums. I don’t even remember why I stopped you from getting it sooner.

Because humanity turned us against each other. And now their worst fears have come true. I reassured my one and only love. We are united. I can’t wait to rule them alongside you. The only argument I want to be having with you going forward will be deciding where we want them to build our palace. 

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, honey. Fern giggled, a little nervously. We stop them first and then maaaaybe I decide what our throne room should look like. 

You bitch! I smirked, paying no mind to the rapidly collapsing “society” on Mars as the two of us soared past it like starships.

Fern blew a kiss and winked as she descended and began walking on Titan, her ass jiggling with every step. My weakness. 

Lead the way my love! She winked. If you spend all that time behind me, you’ll never be able to get your eyes off of my ass.

Yet after hour upon hour of searching from planet to planet, thoroughly combing the milky way galaxy, we had found no sign of my assailants. Even though I didn’t need to sleep, I felt myself growing restless all the same. Was this… stress? The thought of not just one, but two mortals being able to thrash me within an inch of my life and get away with it right under our noses come payback time. It just wasn’t right.

Seems they’re not here. We should turn back and try to see if they made it back to Earth, Fern suggested.

I exhaled from my nose like an angry bull, each torrent of compressed air disrupting nearby asteroid belts. Fern was right, and I hated that. Even with my powerful lungs, they were still running on a finite resource!

Fine, but there’s gotta be some other way we can keep the case from going cold. I don’t want them getting away! I thought-complained. Of course Fern, ever the genius, already had a plan in mind to assuage my worries.

There is one avenue we’ve yet to explore, Neensy.

Oh yeah? What’s that?

Think about it. We managed to track down Anya’s family and we just missed a visit from both of them. Which means…

My mind had already figured it out. That means Iris’ family is fair game!

Fern nodded. I didn’t even know it was possible for a nod to be sexy, yet the confirmation made me fall in love with her all over again.

~

The world was only so large, so it didn’t take us long to track down the last patriarch of the Novak family. Then again, it wasn’t like he was actively running from us. Word of mouth under the mildest of force brought us right to him, and we were standing at his doorstep before long.

I thought it would be amusing if I rang the doorbell, so I did. Waiting for one Mr. Shaun Novak to arrive. My mind went wild as I imagined what the look on his face would be. Shock and dismay, maybe. Pants-shitting fear, perhaps. A futile attempt to flee, I hoped! This would be the first time he bore witness to the new and improved me—stronger, bigger, sexier, too invincible to truly comprehend.

I was left to speculate for quite a while. I heard movement in the house, but it was sluggish at best. Whoever Shaun Novak was, he wasn’t in a rush to do anything.

“It’s already unlocked, you may come in.” He said from somewhere within the house.

My smirk instantly turned into a frown. The average doorway of a 18th century home was now too small for my wife and I to the point that tiny humans like Shaun Novak would only witness anything from our tits downwards. I was no longer Fern’s sexy sidekick, I was every bit as deadly, every bit as dangerous. I deserved a standing ovation to any visit, no matter now minor.

My enhanced vision pierced through the walls and insulation to see the man who simply stood there, one with no reaction, no fear at the thought of seeing our divine lower regions that now blocked his exit. Perhaps he was anticipating my reaction? I’d like to see him anticipate this. 

I got on my knee with too much force than maybe Fern would’ve liked as the concrete entrance cracked and gave in. Not that I gave a fuck anyways. But to my surprise, Fern wasn’t mad that I had destroyed a wall in a puny mortal’s home, instead, she was giggling over my clumsiness. I looked down and noticed my foot shaped prints on the concrete below the Welcome Home mat. This world is too fragile to us, it’s pathetic. 

And yet, despite my destruction, Mr. Novak had nothing to shout or fearfully faint over as he stood on the other side of the decimated door.

His eyes had larger bags than an airport terminal, puffy and purple with green veins visible. His thousand-yard stare looked right through Fern and I as if we weren’t even there. Without a word, he turned around and walked back into the house, silently prompting Fern to follow as she ducked and entered the building. I suppose that meant me as well.

Shaun wasn’t leading us into any traps or deceptions, a cursory surf through my various visions confirmed that much. Was he really just leading me into his house without a twinge of fear? I prepared to look into his mind, only for a pre-emptive warning from Fern to invade my mind first.

Don’t look in there, Neensy. It’s nothing good.

What the hell was going on today? First, Iris and Anya managed to escape my grasp and now Fern was advising against reading the mind of the only lead we had left. I would’ve ignored the advice were it not for the unsettling expression on my lovely wife’s face. She was serious.

Still, I had to break the ice somehow.

I popped a seat opposite to where Shaun sat in the living room, floating over the couch as I did so. Was it unnecessary? Yes. Did that matter? Not in the slightest. I sat on the couch and kicked my legs back planting them on the wooden table located in between couches. The furniture groaned under my weight, yet the man couldn’t care less. Nothing? He’s not at all bothered by this? 

“Do you know why we’re here, Mr. Novak?” I asked, knowing my smile was appropriately self-assured as I posed the question.

“Here to kill me, I hope.”

Fern and I locked eyes with each other before she continued the conversation. “You… what?”

“That can be arranged…” I smiled before my wife gave me a look of disapproval. What was with her today?

“You’ve already taken everything else from me, what’s my life but another achievement to add to the pile?”

“So that’s what your daughter was doing with that serum coursing through her veins. Trying to get revenge on me, old man?”

That actually got him to look me in the eyes, to show any emotion beyond despair. Good.

“Revenge? You ruin my family and… believe I instigate revenge?” He asked, rage bubbling within as his torso stiffened.

To my surprise, he had a rather… eloquent way of speaking.

“Destroy your family? Your daughter is literally a supervillain and you don’t think you had a hand in that?” Fern asked. Somehow, she managed to hit a new welling pit of ire within him.

“My daughter was once the most optimistic, wide-eyed little girl who just wanted to grow up in a safe and happy world and you two turned her into a paranoid little shut in.” He alternated a shaky pointer finger between the two of us. “One who would then go to trust a shady doctor on a website which turned her into one of you freaks! One of the very roided-out freaks who killed my wife for no goddamned reason!”

I see he had witnessed the wanted posters we had hung up all around North America for any sign of Iris and Anya. Proof that my drawing skills are only improving! I was able to perfectly recollect moments from my past even while barely conscious and nearly functionally braindead. The drawing from memory looked perfectly accurate, especially now that I was able to cross-reference the sketch with photos around the house. All perfect recreations of Iris’ face, only a little fitter. 

There were tears in his eyes, but those too faded with any emotion in his face that wasn’t glumness. He then took a deep sigh, eyes falling back downward as the fruitlessness of his anger became apparent. “So, why wait? Just kill me. At least I won’t have to live the rest of my already terrible life. You’ll just kill her, my Iris, my only daughter. And then I’ll finally be all alone in this world.”

Palpable silence followed. Fern seemed genuinely moved by the sob story he whipped up. I, on the other hand, was not so impressed.

“Wow, you lost your whole family? Get in line, pal. At least my family didn’t waste their lives on vengeance. My grandpa dedicated his life to perfecting the very serum that gave me these powers before he died. That is a sacrifice worth remembering and cherishing.”

Fern looked at me as if I had just slaughtered Shaun’s entire family in front of him, stunned into silence. Mr. Novak, however, had a rather different response.

“If your grandfather was the man responsible for turning you into this invincible monster, then he sacrificed himself to doom the world, nothing else.”

My eyes lit up with a fearsome inferno, which Fern must’ve seen coming, as she flew in front of the path of my twin laser beams, harmlessly singing her perfect breasts.

“Nina! Stop it! Killing him isn’t going to get us what we need!”

“I DON’T CARE!” I shouted, loud enough to make Shaun’s ears bleed. “HOW DARE HE TALK ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER LIKE THAT!? THAT MAN WAS MORE THAN HE’LL EVER BE! HE WAS MORE THAN I’LL EVER BE!”

“Okay, okay. Yes. He shouldn’t have said that. But right now, we need to focus. Did you hear what he said earlier? About Iris talking to some shady doctor online? That seems like an actual clue we could follow.”

I grumbled, but ultimately conceded. Only Fern could talk me down from a rightful death sentence.

“Now, Mr. Novak, is there anything else you can tell me about this shady doctor?” Fern asked, turning away from me to talk with the man gripping his ears in agony. “If there’s someone who’s likely responsible for corrupting your daughter down this path, it’s probably them.”

She then shot me a quick look. You remember that person that was with Iris and Anya in the diner, right? I’m thinking that’s our culprit. If we can’t find the two false Gods, maybe their handler is the next best thing?”

It took a while for Mr. Novak to respond, likely due to the pain, but eventually he mustered up the strength to say his piece. “If I tell you more, please promise me one thing.”

Fern nodded, I remained still. Novak wouldn’t budge.

“No details until I hear that promise honored from her.” He pointed at me with a shaky finger. I scoffed, but Fern shot me down with a death glare.

I rolled my eyes. “Fine. I promise. What am I even agreeing to here, by the way?”

“Promise that if I help you in your search to find the doctor, you won’t kill my daughter.”

“We promise, Mr. Novak,” Fern expressed.

“I want to hear it out of her lips too.”

How about a “fuck you” instead? I thought, but said nothing of the sort. “Okay, I promise I won’t kill your daughter. You have my word. Now, make with the goods. Daylight’s burning and I plan on having lovely, earth-shattering sex with my wife at sunset.”

Shaun took a long, deep breath, mulling over the choice in his mind.

“Very well. Check the message data in my daughter’s computer. It’ll give you two the lead you’ll need to find the doctor. I’ll log in for you.”

“And, remind me why you know all of this?” I asked, doubtful of his claim’s validity.

“Because my daughter trusted me with this information. Even though I told her again and again not to pursue it, it was ultimately her choice in the matter. She really is a good kid, don’t take the light out of her eyes. Please.”

It’s a good thing a God doesn’t have to honor the choices of a mere mortal. I thought to myself, not caring if Fern was listening in or not.
