BANNER AND BATMAN

by Dr. Chloroform

Part 1

When Batman arrived at Superheroine League headquarters he found Banner, the superspeed patriotic heroine, tied to a chair. He immediately began to untie her, wondering who could have overpowered the powerful patriot.

"It was Supergirl," Banner answered, "I asked her to."

"Why?" Batman asked, somewhat confused.

"Because the last time we met here I chloroformed you," Banner replied, somewhat embarrassed, "I wanted you to know that you have nothing to fear from me."

"That's okay," Batman commentment, "I kinda like getting chloroformed by beautiful women. So, what can I do for you."

"One of our heroines, Flaxen, has disappeared, and I fear the worse," Banner explained, "I was hoping you'd help us find her."

"I'm happy to help, but with Supergirl, Black Cardinal, and the rest of the Superheroine League I'm surprised that you need it," Batman admitted.

"Flaxen is a bit mysterious, and keeps record in code," Banner said, "I was hoping you could break the code so we can find the last place where she was."

"I understand," Batman said, and got to work after Banner gave him Flaxen's laptop.

"I've got it," Batman said a short time later.

"That was fast," Banner said, admiration in her voice, "So, where do we start."

"Marsha Stuart's place," Batman said, and in the blink of an eye found himself transported to the famous celebrities penthouse, "That was fast."

"We aim to please," Banner said as she opened the door.

"No, wait . . . !" Batman called out . . . too late as a pie struck the pretty patriot in the face, a pie which stuck to it, cutting off her air.

Banner felt herself suffocating as she clawed wildly at the goo, desperate for air. She felt someone like a chemical patch be put on the back of her neck and was instanly paralyzed. Then she was lowered to the floor, and felt her face heat up. Suddnely she was able to breathe, and then she saw Batman remove the patch that had immobilized her.

"Sorry, Banner," Batman explained, "I had to keep you still in order to burn the pie off your face.

"No complaints here, Batman. In fact . . . Thanks!" Banner said, giving him a kiss on the lips.

"I wish I could have warned you about the trap sooner," Batman said, and began to look through the apartment, "It looks like there was a fight. My guess is that Flaxen and Miss Stuart have been taken prisoner."

"So, where do we go from here," Banner said, concerned for her friend, but unable to get out of her mind what a great kisser Batman was . . .

Part 2

Supergirl read the decoded Flaxen log and flew to the home of know it all Marsha Stuart. She hoped to catch up with Batman and Banner. While she trusted Batman, she knew Banner all to well. The Girl of Steel regreted leaving her tied up for the Capted Crusader, despite the pleasure it gave her at the time.

Her x-ray vision told her before she landed on the balcony that she had missed her friends. She walked inside, hoping to pick up a clue to where they had gone. Suddenly a lead coated secret door opened, and Supergirl was sprayed with what seemed to be pepper.

"Aaaachhoo!" The Girl of Steel sneezed, and then a dreaded familiar feeling of weakness came over her, "Good heavens! There's kryptonite dust in the pepper! Aaaachoo! Oh . . . Getting week . . ."

Supergirl tried to move, to shake off the deadly dust. But she sneezed one last time, and collapsed to the floor. Her eyes closed, and she knew nothing more.

"I have to admit," Banner said looking around, "The Batcave's very impressive."

"Thanks," Batman replied, looking through a microscope, "You certainly got us here fast. And while in heels."

"Sometime I wear boots, but I knew I was going to be working with you, so I decided to show off my legs," Banner said, stretching her shapely limbs.

"Nice choice," Batman said, admiring her nylon clad legs, "The leaf I found is from a tree that only grows upstate. Marsha Stuart has a summer cabin up there."

"Let's go," Banner said, and a few moments later they were there, "I hope you like fast women."

"Direct and to the point, I prefer," Batman replied, and the two of them quietly approached the cabin, ready for anything . . .
