EPILOGUE

DAYS LATER

The fug that surrounded Jen’s waking mind slowly cleared into a dull headache, the kind she always got after a row of tequila slammers the night before. She sat up in an unfamiliar bed and took in her surroundings. The room was darkened, but light from past the edges of the drawn curtains suggested it was daytime. The room was pastel coloured but looked unlived in-- a guest bedroom.

Jen rubbed her eyes and got herself up. She groaned and staggered as she took to her feet-- her heat felt thick and the pounding in her temples was even worse. 

That’s one hell of a hangover you got there, Walters.  

The lawyer yawned and scratched the back of her head, trying to recollect what kind of a night out it had been. Her memory was very scrappy, but she could recall being in some sort of theatre, seeing some sort of presentation and then--

Oh boy…

She’d transformed unexpectedly. She could just about remember that happening, but nothing after that. Jen chewed on a thumbnail anxiously. That wasn’t a good sign. Her memories of her time as the She-Hulk were always a little fuzzy, but fully blacked out memories meant only one thing.

She --I-- must really have gone berserk this time!

Jen looked around her room. Her thoughts were overtaken by a desire to just slip away quietly and never come back to Cyberville again. She found a pile of neatly folded up clothes at the bottom of her bed with a pair of slip-ons on the carpet by the the door. Stripping off the long t-shirt, Jen pulled on the panties,  lilac tanktop and billowy cotton lounge pants and then slipped on the shoes. Opening the door as gently and as quietly as she could, she padded down the landing towards the staircase. She’d gotten halfway down before the door to the kitchen opened and Allie’s head popped around it.

“You’re up!”

Jen froze on the stairs, not knowing what to say. Allie gave her a reassuring smile. 

“You’ve been asleep for quite a while-- come on and have something to eat.”

Not knowing what else to do, Jen complied and followed Allie back into the kitchen.

Her heart sank as she realised that she was now going to have to fully confront what had gone on during the missing time. Girding herself for bad news, Jen entered to find that she and Allie were not alone in the house. 

Jason and Julie were sat having coffee at the breakfast bar. The smiled and greeted Jen warmly as she entered. There was also another in the room, an unfamiliar woman in green nursing scrubs who was carefully packing medical equipment into a dark blue holdall. She looked up at Jen and smiled, and Jen couldn’t help but smile back. The woman was short and elfin looking, with honey brown skin and close-cropped black hair. Like Allie, she wore a large pair of round horn-rimmed spectacles perched on her prettily snub nose. 

“How’re you feeling?” The woman in nurses garb asked.

“Rough”, said Jen in a voice she was shocked to discover was little more than a hoarse rasp. The nurse smiled sympathetically and nodded.

“You’ll probably feel like you’ve got a bad hangover for a while. Your body chemistry has some pretty astounding regenerative properties so you should count yourself lucky to be alive!”

Jen was taken aback by this strangers apparent intimate knowledge of her ‘condition’. Allie placed a hand on Jen’s shoulder.

“It’s OK. Hailie is ‘one of us’ so to speak. You can trust her.”

Jen looked uneasy for a second, but waved a hand. “Fine. Whatever. Is there any way I can get some juice in this house? I really need juice.”

Jason got up and went to the fridge, opened it, and produced a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice. Pouring her a cup, Jen all but snatched it out of Jason’s hands and downed the whole thing.

“Sorry”, she mumbled, wiping her mouth. “So thirsty!”

“I was about to tell you to drink plenty of fluids”, laughed Hailie, “and to get plenty of rest. You’ll be fine in a day or two I think”. The young woman zipped up her holdall and crossed over to Jason and Julie. Kissing them both on the cheek, she made made her goodbyes.

“It’s been lovely to meet you at last!” Said Julie. “Won’t you stay for dinner?”

Hailie shook her head. “I have work tonight, but next time you’re in town--it’s a date!”

“You’re working through the night at the hospital, huh?” Said Jason sitting back down.

Hailie laughed and shook her head.

“Not the hospital, no. I meant my other job. I’m presiding over a pan-dimensional congress of immortals and we’re going to discuss boundary changes across event horizons. Boring official stuff.”

Jen wondered if she had suffered some kind of brain damage, because everybody else in the room was reacting as if Hailie had just told them she was going to spend the night cleaning her bathroom. Before she could react, Hailie kissed her on the cheek too.

“It was nice to meet you too, Jen, albeit briefly whilst you were fully conscious!”

Jen was briefly flustered by this quite attractive younger woman giving her such an intimate goodbye gesture and her questions dies on her lips. Hailie looked into her eyes, and Jen felt a certain lasciviousness and playfulness in from that gaze.

“We’ll meet again, I’m sure”.

Jen found herself blushing. She had never been a blusher and found this quite unsettling.

“I hope that we do!”, The lawyer spluttered.

Hailie turned and nodded at Allie, who crossed both arms over her chest, bowed reverentially and intoned “My Queen”.

With a final wave goodbye to everyone, Hailie left the house. 

Jen blinked, opened her mouth wide and raised three fingers.

“OK. Number one-- who was that, and why are you calling her your Queen?” She closed one finger. “Number two-- what the hell happened to me? One minute I’m watching your science experiment, the next I’m sitting up in bed with the mother of all hangovers!” Another finger was closed. “Number three-- is there anything to eat? I need to eat like, a dumpster full of hamburgers right now!”

Allie, Jason and Julie all looked at each other nervously, and Jen’s heart sank.

This does not bode well.

“I think you’d better take a seat, Jen.”

The talking continued past dinner and late into the evening. The full story of Jen’s metamorphosis into a 50-foot monster was recounted, most of which she took in with her head in her hand, occasionally making small groaning noises. Allie placed a comforting hand on Jen’s arm when the story was done.

“It could have been much worse, Jen”, she said softly. We managed  to stop you and change you back before you could cause any significant damage. Nobody got hurt, and nobody connected you to the She-Hulk either.”

“But there’ll be an investigation!” Jen’s raised voice caused the hairs on the back of Allie’s neck to rise up. “The authorities will be looking at CCTV, interviewing witnesses-- there’s no way that nobody noticed me transforming into a not-so-jolly green giant in the middle of a fucking theatre!” 

Allie tensed, ready to deal with the consequences of Jen’s anger. She’d need to tread carefully here.

“The Department of Energy and Weapons stepped in,” spoke Allie, calmly. “I pulled a few favours and got them to slap a D-notice on the whole case. You’ve got nothing to worry about.” She looked up at Jason and Julie, who looked mildly sheepish. “I wasn’t able to do the same for these two, but somehow they’ve managed to avoid jail too!”

Jason cleared his throat and steepled his fingers. “We still have some pull in the military. The downside is that they’ve confiscated our research for one of their black projects…”

“...But we have other irons in the fire too, so…”, finished Julie, shooting a warning glance at Jason. Both Allie and Jen frowned at this intervention, but before they could inquire further, Jason deftly offered an explaination.

“What I think Julie means is, they can’t keep a good scientist down and we’ll manage.”

He smiled at Jen. “I’m afraid we’ll have to disappoint your employers, but what we can do is offer you some assistance with your She-Hulk problem”.

Allie clenched her teeth. That wasn’t going to go down well with Jen. She looked over at her friend who was maintaining a calm, if icy demeanour. 

“I don’t have a problem with the She-Hulk, doctor Burke. She’s not some kind of a tumor that needs to be taken out of my brain. She’s a part of me”, she said quietly and firmly. She slumped back and puffed out her cheeks. “But… I would like to know if I’m going to grow to giant size and go all King-Kong on the city next time I change.”

“Unless you absorb a massive quantity of gamma radiation from somewhere, that’s highly unlikely”, said Julie. “And I think what Jason meant to say was we think we can find a way for you to  co-exist more harmoniously with your other half.”

“The She-Hulk with your mind!” Grinned Jason. 

Jen could not help but feel thrilled at the prospect. All the power of her alter-ego, but with none of the loss of her personality and intelligence. It was more than she dared hope for. She looked at Allie, who smiled back at her.

“If anyone can do it, these two eggheads can!”

Julie placed a sinewy arm around Jen. “What do you say?”

Jen laughed, feeling almost delirious with hope and joy.

“When can we start?”

The four of them went upstairs to bed, bidding one another goodnight.

“I’m gonna grab a shower and then hit the hay”, said Jen. Despite her days in bed, she was still feeling exhausted from the ordeal. She closed the door of her room behind her and, pausing to strip off her things, opened the door to the en-suite bathroom. Looking forward to a good shower and then some rest, Jen turned the dial on the shower and stepped under a cascade of warm water.

Outside,  Allie carried bedding across the landing and  knocked on the door of the second guest room where Jason and Julie were staying. Entering, she saw Julie already in a short black night dress sitting at the dresser table combing her hair, whilst Jason was just finishing pulling on a pair of pyjama bottoms. She let her eyes linger a little on Jason’s bared torso, and Julie’s long, toned bare legs before setting the pile of pillow cases and duvet covers on the side of the bed.

“It’s good of you to put us up like this Allie”, said Jason, sitting down on the bed. Allie smiled back at Jason, and sat down beside him. She patted his thigh, letting her hand stay there for just a second before withdrawing it. Jason saw a brief and mischievous glint in her eye that was enough to make his loins stir a little.

Julie turned around to face them from the dresser, draping one arm languidly over the back and stretching out her long, smoothly muscled gams so that both her husband and Allie could see. 

“We couldn’t even get back to our hotel room for our things. I hope you don’t mind me borrowing this nightie of yours?” Julie looked down at the black lacy garment. Her larger bust was crammed into the décolletage and her cleavage spilled over the neckline. 

“I don’t think it quite fits me, but I think I managed to squeeze myself into it.”

Allie raised an eyebrow. “Mmmm. Just about…”

Jason smoothed Allie’s arm with the backs of his fingers. “Have you… missed us, Allie?”

Allie looked back her former lover, pursing her lips slightly.

“I have missed you both. And I was looking forward to a little…” Allie clicked her tongue in the roof of her mouth, searching for a subtle phrase. “A little reunion,” she settled upon. Then her manner became sterner. she pointed a finger at Jason. “But there’s still the small matter of that Alta-Beam emitter between us, Jason.”

Jason looked suitably chastened. “I was bringing it to you for your safe-keeping Allie, I promise you I was!” He raised his hands in a mea culpa. “I used it out of desperation. There’s no way I would have done that for any other reason. We were trying to come up with ways tohelp you manage your transformations more easily before we left and I wanted you to know that Julie and I were still working on that problem for you.”

“No more Alta-Beam. That’s what we all agreed.” Allie’s voice had steel in it, and Jason was uncomfortably reminded that Allie’s unassuming exterior housed power of terrifying magnitude. He did not want to test her patience.

“We thought a portable version of the beam might be useful to you but-- you’re right. We shouldn’t have developed it without consulting you first.”

Allie nodded. “And will you now destroy any material you have relating to the device?”

Jason held up his hands. “The one and only prototype blew up when we were powering up Julie. I’ll destroy my notes and that will be that, I swear.”

Allie held his gaze for a few seconds. Her super-sensitive instincts told her that her former lovers were sincere. His expression was earnest, almost pleading.

Jason placed his hand on her arm again softly. Gently, he kissed her neck.

“I’ve missed you, Allie. We both have.”

The touch of Jason’s lips still tingling on her neck, Allie looked back over at Julie. Julie smiled benevolently and crossed her long legs. Jason kissed her neck again, and let his lips linger near the soft nape of her neck for a few moments.

Allie closed her eyes, feeling her breathing becoming more shallow. Jason kissed again. Julie idly traced a hand up to smooth a breast.

“Jason”, whispered Allie, “you know what’s going to happen to me if you carry on doing that! Are you sure you want to do this in front of your wife?”

Allie looked back up at Julie, who had pulled down the top of her nightie and was fondling her now exposed breasts. Allie’s pulses started to race. Julie grinned wickedly at Allie. Jason’s hand slid across Allie’s waist, fondling and caressing. Allie sighed, leaning her head back and enjoying the feel of Jason’s lips against her neck. She felt her excitement growing, and quickly abandoned herself to it. Turning to face Jason, she kissed him on the lips, and pushed her hands over his thighs, aiming towards the forming bulge at his crotch.

Jule uncrossed her legs and spread them. Propping her right foot on the edge of the bed, she reclined back, and traced her right hand down her torso to rest down between her thighs.

Allie rubbed the shaft of Jason’s erection through the material of his pyjama bottoms. Her kisses became deeper, and steamier. Within her, she could feel a mounting heat and pressure that was building mostly between her legs. A tremor of pleasure suddenly passed throughout her frame and she withdrew from Jason suddenly, gasping.

“Ohhh!”

Jason’s mouth went dry, He licked his lips, and slowly drew up a hand to rest of one of Allie’s modest sized breasts. Behind them both, Julie watched them, and began to run her fingers gently across the exposed lips of her vagina. Jason felt something other than the softness of Allie’s breast beneath her dress against the palm of his hand. A feeling of inflation and expansion. He squeezed a little, feeling the pert flesh smooshing beneath his palm, causing a small squeal to escape from Allie’s lips. His heart pounded and his loins throbbed. 

With her back turned to her, Julie noticed that something was happening to Allie’s hair. Her ponytail seemed to be getting longer, creeping a little way down her back. The volume and thickness of her hair seemed to be increasing also, with messy strands appearing over the whole body of her normally silky and neatly brushed hair. She also noticed a slight twitching and undulation of musculature in the exposed parts of Allie’s back. The set of her shoulders seemed a little broader and squarer, too. Julie’s arousal grew. She slid an index finger between her pussylips, feeling a sharp thrill shoot up her abdomen.

Allie moaned again, feeling the change starting to move through her body. Her breasts were starting to expand. Shuddering, she felt each and every muscle starting to twitch. Between her legs, she felt her clitoris swelling and budding from its hood, wetness gathering in her entrance as her arousal grew stronger. She could sense Jason and Julie’s arousal too, and it was fueling the power inside of her. Shivering, she drew back a little from Jason and stood up. Grabbing the sides of her dress, she pulled and ripped the poppers open up to her waist and sensually pulled down her panties. Stepping out of them, she sat back down, and spreading the leaves of her dress away from them, spread her bared legs so Jason and Julie could both see. 

The couple caught a glimpse of Allie’s glistening, swollen vulva, enlarged clitoris and  neat strip of pubic hair, which had bleached from it’s usual dark hue to an almost white-blonde. The vision was obscured as a glow of light emerged from Allie’s sex, a pulsing beacon that emitted smaller particles of energy and even forks of pink lightning that danced across the surface of Allie’s deliciously smooth bare legs. The adductor muscles of her inner legs tensed-- and grew. Allie’s thighs began to bulk up and thicken, her quadriceps swelling and carving with definition. Her calves swelled, their elegant and feminine shapes retaining alongside the growing musculature. 

Jason ran a hand across Allie’s bare left arm looking in amazement as it began to gorw stronger and sturdier looking. Her upper arms swelled and the sinews in her forearms became more pronounced. Lines of definition began to appear across her developing biceps, triceps and deltoid muscles.

Allie felt her dress tighten around her torso as her hips spread out and her core thickened. The bind of her ponytail suddenly snapped, and her brown tresses, increasingly feathered with golden yellow strands, tumbled onto her shoulders and down her widening back. 

She looked over at Jason, enjoying his expression of wonder and lust. Allie felt a curious sense of elevation. Jason’s head drew level with hers, and then gradually seemed to sink downwards. She was getting taller. The pressure of her tightening dress was felt most keenly at the point where her body was undergoing it’s most dramatic spurt of growth-- her breasts. Plunging cleavage puffed up from her stretching neckline, breastflesh spilling over the front and oozing from the sides of her armholes as her tits continued to expand. Feeling the throbbing, roiling sensations of the change assail her body, Allie breathed out suddenly, and the added pressure caused seams to split apart along the sides of her dress. She decided to give the process a helping hand. Gripping the two halves of the front of her floral patterned dress, Allie pulled and tore it open. Her nakedness now fully exposed, Allie proudly pushed out her swelling breasts and tanned, toned midriff. 

She was only half way through the wondrous change, Jason knew. Allie’s body was larger, longer, curvier and sexier, but her hair was still brownish…her features still halfway between Allie and Altawoman, with her horn-rimmed spectacles still perched on the end of her nose.

But Jason could not wait any longer. He growled lustily, and pounced on top of Allie’s transforming frame.

“OHH!” Gasped Allie in surprise and delight. His lust a powerful engine inside him now, Jason tugged down his pyjama bottoms. His long and rock hard erection freed, he pushed Allie down onto the bed and gripped himself, nuzzling his the tip of his glans against the pulsating glow of Alta-Energy between Allie’s legs. Moaning with lust, Allie spread herself for him, wrapping her long, muscular legs around his thighs.

Julie groaned as she watched them both, one hand fondling her considerable breasts and the other pushing deep between her legs. 

Jason grunted as he pushed his hardness up and inside Allie.

“AUUGGGH!” She cried, her husky moans reverberating cavernously throughout the bedroom.

“OOUUGHH!” Whimpered Julie, an orgasm suddenly flaring as she thrust her wet fingers into her mound to the rhythm of her husband thrusting into Allie.

Allie’s transformation accelerated as she felt Jason’s long shaft penetrating her. Her pulsating pussy walls swelled and squeezed around him. Her arms and legs grew yet thicker and denser with muscle. The bedsprings groaned from the increased weight. Her body seemed to spread out underneath Jason, the tips of her gargantuan breasts slapping against his chin as they puffed up and out. Spools of honey-blonde and then rapidly white-blonde hair tumbled across the duvet. Jason looked down to see that pair of horn-rimmed glasses bouncing off a broader, more angular face. He was no longer making love to Allie West…but a very horny and fully charged Altawoman!

An explosion of pink and purple light noiselessly filled the room. Both Jason and Julie felt their bodies become suffused with the etherial energy, giving their stamina and sexual appetites an extraordinary boost. Julie got to her feet, ready to join her husband and Allie on the bed…

When just then, the bedroom door was smashed to splinters.

Julie cried out in shock, her hands instinctively cupping her breasts. Startled, Jason hastily uncoupled from Altawoman and leapt from the bed. Looking in the direction of the door, he saw that it’s splintered remains were now hanging off the frame. And stooping through it was a gigantic woman, completely naked, her green skin wet and glistening.

“SHE HULK HORNY!” Roared the seven foot musclebound Amazon.

Altawoman sat up on her elbows and groaned.

I forgot! How could I be so stupid? Alta-Energy triggers Jen’s transformation if she’s nearby!

She sat herself up. The She-Hulk turned her head to face her, her long black hair slicked down with wetness. 

She must have transformed in the shower, thought Altawoman gloomily, which means a hefty plumber’s bill for Allie West.

“She-Hulk HORNY!” Repeated the primitive but curvaceous green giantess. Altawoman sighed and laughed. 

“Alright, lady-- we’ll put on a little show for our guests. How does that sound?

But She Hulk shook her head, pointing at Jason.

“She-Hulk want man. Want big meat!”

Altawoman had forgotten that whilst Jen was gay, She-Hulk was more…omnisexual. She looked over at Jason, who looked nervous. “Think you’re up to that, Mr ‘Big-Meat?’”

He gulped, looking up at She-Hulk’s shiny wet skin, her towering green breasts and long green legs. Julie grinned, and shimmied her way out of her night dress.

Jason lay back on the bed as three impossibly proportioned Amazons advanced upon his naked body.

“You never know how a day’s gonna go…” he said to himself quietly.

THE END

ALTAWOMAN SHALL RETURN IN "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YESTERDAY'S ALTAWOMAN?"

Altawoman appears with kind permission of Leee
