A05a Shy Cat On The Street (I)

Contributed by AlNaga

 
    One day, witch Black Cat wanted to summon her helpers/legs, Alisa and Siren, but they didn't come. Black Cat flew to them. When she reached them, she found them playing in a dirty alley. She got them to obey her, after some protest, and they rejoined her body as her legs. But as she tried to fly back to her house, but a Septic truck leaked and splashed filth on her. Suddenly, Black Cat lost the ability to cast magic, and she didn't know why.

    Knowing her friend Ayase's mentor, Evan Rockford/Green Knight lives nearby, Black Cat walked over to his house. There, Evan saw the surprising mess Black Cat was, and asked why she didn't just use her magic to clean herself. Black Cat cried, as her magic stopped working. Evan let Black Cat inside his apartment building he owned, to clean herself up. Evan put her clothes in the wash as Black Cat used a bathroom in the building to bathe. Evan went to check on Black Cat, telling her he put her clothes to wash in the laundry room. Black complained to hurry, as she had no clothes but a towel she found to wear.

    Evan let Black Cat into a storage room he had in the building, where he kept all the articles that people left in their apartments after they left the building. To her surprise, Black Cat only found a hip length mink coat, a blue string bikini, and a pair of black stiletto heels that fit her. In the mink coat, she found a tiny video player, a CREATIVE ZEN PLUS, inside one of it's pockets. She turned it on and to her surprise it was a video of her mother in her younger identity as Mei Lin Rae with Evan Rockford as a teenager. In the video they kiss. In the background of the video was David Bowie's China Girl. To her surprise the video was recorded one year before she was born.

    Black Cat left the storage room in a few uneasy strides, as the stilettos were a bit hard to walk in. "Alisa... Siren... I've caught you wearing heels before, stop fooling around" Black Cat murmured. She heard back from one of them telepathically, "Yes, but we've never walked in them before!" The other added, "This is harder to do than just stand in them!" At least she could still communicate with her legs, Black Cat thought to herself. It still frustrated her why her magic stopped working.

    "Having trouble?" Evan said, after witnessing Black Cat take a few uneasy steps down the hallway. "I'm not used to walking in these..." "Ankle Breakers?" Evan joked. "Yes! But I didn't want to impolite since you were nice enough to lend me something to wear." Black Cat replied, as she pulled the fur coat tightly around her with both hands.

    "Here! Let me help you!" Evan offered as he quickly detached his head from his body and quickly pushed it into Black Cat's direction. Black Cat held her hands in horror to keep it away from her. It wasn't the detachment of Evan's head that horrified her, but the fact that she knew of Evan's powers that allowed him to control the body of anyone he attached his head too. "Hey, don't worry. I don't want the body of prepubescent teenaged girl under my head. I'm not going to take over your body. Actually I'm lend you some of my powers in a way." Evan assured her. "You can lend me your powers?" Black Cat said as she arched an eyebrow in curiosity.

    "Here. Take a hold of my head", Evan's disembodied head spoke. Black Cat was apprehensive, she could detach her parts as well at will, when her magic was working.. However Evan's powers came from some sort of a combination of an adaptation to radiation exposure and a mystical curse put on his great grandmother from long ago. Her mother was helping him understand those powers, as they had been old friends, and apparently from the video she saw a very long time. "I can help you, you don't trust me?", Evan said with a worried face. "No, it's just... Okay, just don't do anything really weird." Black Cat replied with a nervous look as she reached to hold his head. "I'm not going to violate your body if that what is worrying you. Your mother would never forgive me if I did anything to harm you. I consider you like a daughter." Evan assured her as he placed his head into her hands.

    Evan then added, "Now point my face down the other end of the hallway." Black Cat complied, quickly turning Evan's disembodied in that direction in front of her. Evan's now headless body stepped quietly out of her way. "Okay, walk" Evan told her. Black Cat began to walk, and was surprised as her legs took each step like she was a veteran of many of walks in stiletto heels. As she reached the end of the hallway, Evan told her "Okay, we turn right around here." Black attempted with some trepidation, but to her surprise her legs accomplished the maneuver easily. As she reached the same spot they started at, Evan said, "Okay, stop here!" Black stopped easily to her surprise as her legs came to a fluid halt. "Okay, let's stand." Evan told her. Black Cat felt as she took a resting position in her heels, surprised that she was accomplishing something that seemed rather basic for her to learn. After a few other resting and leaning positions, Evan told her, "Okay, give me back to my body."

    Black Cat did as commanded, but was very curious what he just did. "It felt like I was taking the steps, but it was like my legs knew what they should do." she asked him. As Evan placed his head back on, he replied "That's exactly what was happening. I rerouted the commands to your legs through my head. As you took each step, with my powers my brain relayed your commands with muscle memory instructions kept in my neurons. I kinda gave your legs a training manual on how to walk in those shoes." Black Cat said with concern, "You didn't do anything to Alisa and Siren? Did you?" Black Cat was referring to her legs, which she magically imbued with their own personages they they would take on when ever she detached them from her body. "No, they are fine. They enjoyed the instruction. Though your abs, glutes, and back where totally lost. I had to give much correction. You need to walk a little more than you do. They weren't used to working like that." Evan replied.

    Black Cat knew of Evan's body control powers, but asked in curiosity as he replaced his head back on his neck, "How do you know to walk in stiletto heels?" Evan laughed lightly, "Oh, you had to ask. Back when I got my powers as a teen, I went through a stage where I used my powers how I wanted and how I liked. I was particularly interested female bodies I was attracted to, and enjoyed taking over them. I am not proud of it, I wonder if I should really be punished for those liberties I took with those bodies I stole for them. But for the large part I was a what you call "A Super Villain". I went by the name Mean Green, and I dressed what I would describe as very sexually provocative. Mainly because I resented those heroes who were repulsed by my powers. I wanted them to squirm as they felt stirring of desire and envy... yeah, envy for what I could easily take from the opposite sex. I know now that was wrong. But, yeah, part of dressing provocative meant lots of backside arching high heels. So I've an unusual mount of experience in stilettos. Oh, try walking now."

    Black Cat took a few steps and to her surprise she walked just as good as she did in her regular shoes. Evan added, "I just had to tell them how to work together. By the way, you body is very noisy. Most body communities I have to kinda get them used to the idea of me talking and instructing them. But they were all talking to each other about me, asking me what I was planning to do with them. Your lower back is whiny pre-Madonna, she don't like to work at all. Don't get me started on your a.. your glutes... They are what I could call them." Black Cat smiled, "That's nothing compared to being in command here everyday" Evan replied, "All your parts, they definitely got personality."
