Needing help, but not wanting to show herself to her friends, Starfire left Titan's Tower through her bedroom window, no small task given her size, and flew back to the boardwalk.

-----

Starfire flew in low, under the docks. The boardwalk was closed for the night, but she wouldn't take a chance of being spotted until she knew she was alone. After ten minutes, she went back to where she got her balloon, only to find nothing.

I guess the gas tanks are stored elsewhere. Starfire thought.

She looked around until she came to a supply shed. She broke off the lock and squeezed inside. She found a helium tank and looked it over. On the side was a label with the address for the manufacturer. Maybe she cold find help there.

Starfire turned to walk out the door when she tripped on a loose board. Normally she, like anybody else, would've fallen flat on their face, but her belly cushioned the fall. The force of the impact pushed the gas stored inside to Starfire's butt, making her already big posterior balloon even larger.

Starfire obviously noticed that. Standing back up, she ran her hands over her butt, and decided to experiment. Falling on her butt, Starfire felt the gas move back to her belly, making it as large as before. The sensations she felt were unlike anything she had felt before.

Getting back up, Starfire was about to leave when she noticed some other helium tanks. She knew she needed to tend to her problem, although she a certain curiosity she wanted to satisfy. She could inflate herself in peace, but there was so little helium to use. The manufacturer would have much more, but there could be some people there working late.
