Jessica Palmer the Atom 2

Olga then moved with almost lightning fast speed. She grabbed Jessica and got her into a strong bear hug. This had caught her by surprise and she was locked into it. If she didn’t get out of it soon she would pass out.
Jessica was tempted to shrink her way out of the hold. But she didn’t want to blow her cover so she tired to remember what Batman taught her. But she didn’t have too long to think about this. She could hear her body cracking due to the strain of Olga’s might. If she wasn’t careful she could break her back.
“Give up,” said Olga.
“Haven’t you heard,” replied Jessica. She then gave Olga a mighty head butt. “I’m very hard headed with decisions.”
The sheer force of the head butt caused Olga to release her grip. Jessica was glad that she was able to get a decent breath of air. But if anything all she had made the Amazon angry.
“You’ll pay for that bitch!” cried Olga.
She then ran towards Jessica and went to grab her. But Jessica sidestepped Olga and then pushed her into the cage wall. This caused Olga a lot of pain and she turned back to Jessica.
But then Jessica punched Olga. This caused her to bounce off the cage wall and back towards Jessica. But she was stunned so Jessica kicked her right in her jaw. Olga fell back onto the cage wall. But this time she didn’t get back up. She just fell to the ground and was out cold.
The referee then began to count. Jessica just stood there waiting for the count to finish. Olga couldn’t answer to the ten count so the bell rang and everyone was amazed with what they had seen.
“Here is your winner by knock out Jessica Palmer,” said the Announcer. “Everyone give her a big hand.”
The cage door then opened and Jessica stepped out. A couple of men went inside to pick up the unconscious Olga. She was still completely out of it. She wouldn’t be waking up in any hurry.
Jessica herself then sat down at a table and a couple of people looked at her. Most eventually went back to their drinks but one man decided to speak up. Jessica hoped that he wouldn’t be like the last guy.
“You took her out without break a sweat,” said the man.
“My ribs beg to differ,” replied Jessica.
“What are you some kind of super woman? I’ve never seen anyone take Olga out like that.”
“She was more talk then action.”
Eventually the first round of the women’s tournament finished and it was the turn of the men. Jessica just sat there and watched them pound the hell out of each other. She wasn’t too impressed by them. Normally she wouldn’t do this but since she needed the money she didn’t have much of a choice.
But she also knew that time wasn’t on her side. If the states got a nuclear strike there would be massive loss of life and the effects will be felt by the rest of the world. Jessica wanted to get this done quick.

Jessica could only sit and watch the rest of the first round. The women’s division temporarily finished and it was time for the men to start to tussle. Quite a lot of them looked bulky. But a couple of them were fairly small but still seemed powerful. Jessica could easily tell which fighters were mainly brute strength and which ones relied on their speed.
But she was prepared for the brutality she saw. The men were a lot more aggressive then the women had been. There was a lot of blood from the fighters since they were allowed to use weapons.
But when the first round of the men’s tournament and it was time for the women’s division to continue. Jessica was going to compete in the second semi-final match. She watched as the first one went underway. She just watched as the two women beat each other to a bloody pulp.
But after the chaos of the first semi-final it was time for the second one. This was Jessica’s fight and she finished her drink and entered the cage. Her opponent was already in there waiting for her.
Jessica’s opponent was a lot smaller then Olga. She was fairly well built but she didn’t have huge muscles like Olga had. She was a foot shorter then Jessica at her current stature. She looked to have been originally from somewhere like China or Japan. She was a lot more dangerous then she looked.
“You did well in your last round,” said Jessica’s opponent.
“You did too,” replied Jessica.
“But your luck has run out. I’ll show you the true meaning of the saying “The bigger they are the harder they fall.”
“I’d like to see you try.”
“Ladies and Gentlemen,” interrupted the Announcer. “This is the second semi-final of the women’s division. Introducing first last year’s finalist the beautiful but deadly Viper!” The crowd cheered a little. “And also introducing the years surprise semi-finalist inch for inch she’s as deadly as they come. Jessica Palmer!” A couple of people cheered for her. “The rules of this match will be different. You can not simple knock out your opponents. You need to beat them until they say the words I QUIT! Now begin.”
In a flash Viper kicked Jessica in the chest sending her back to the cage wall. This temporarily winded her.
“She took me by surprise,” thought Jessica. “If I had been smaller I could have just about dodged that. But if I change size everyone will see I have powers. I need to take her out without making myself smaller.”
“Get up!” demanded Viper. “It didn’t hurt you that much. Unless you want to quit now and escape humiliation.”
“No.”
“Good I want to see just how much I can beat you up before you lose consciousness.” She then laughed a little.
Jessica then went to punch her but Viper dodged it and responded with her own punch. Jessica had never seen a non-superhuman move that fast. She was going to have to pull an ace from up her sleeve to save herself. Obviously an easy way to win would to increase her size. But this was an option she couldn’t use.

Jessica tried to remember what Batman had taught her. She remembered that he had taught her a technique on how to defeat particularly fast opponents. But right now she was having trouble remembering it.
But before she could properly think about it Viper went to kick her. But Jessica saw it coming and was able to just get out of the way. She saw a brief opening for a counterattack. But Viper saw her punch coming and blocked it herself. She almost seemed unbeatable.
“She almost seems invincible,” thought Jessica. “But everyone has a weakness. Its just finding it that’s the problem.”
She then quickly began to think again. She doubted that she would be able to hit Viper enough times to make her give up. But she didn’t have to get her give up like that. From time to time she would watch professional wrestling. Even though it was all staged the competitors used submission moves to make their opponent give up. This was for now the only way she could see her winning.
“Yo Queen Kong are you going to actually try and hurt me today,” asked Viper. “Or am I going to have to beat you to a pulp?”
Viper went to kick Jessica but she caught the kick. Viper expected her to try and hit her. But instead Jessica threw her to the ground. She still kept a hold of Viper’s leg. She turned her onto her stomach and her leg. She sat on Viper’s back and held her leg tight. Viper attempted to kick her in desperation with her free leg. But Jessica caught this one and completed a Boston Crab Hammer.
Viper cried out in pain as Jessica continued the hold. It was breaking Viper’s back but she didn’t seem to want to give up. But the crowd was cheering and they wanted the fight to go on.
But after a minute or two in the hold Viper couldn’t take the pain any longer. She wasn’t strong enough to get out and her back was breaking.
“I give,” said Viper quietly.
“What was that?” replied Jessica.
“I quit now get off me.” She said this so everyone could hear her.
A bell rang and Jessica let go of the hold. Viper was still in some pain. But the announcer came into the cage and lifted Jessica’s hand up. Everyone continued to cheer for her.
“Here is your winner by submission,” said the Announcer. “Jessica Palmer.”
A couple of other people went into the cage. But they picked up Viper to receive some medical treatment. Jessica felt bad about injuring her like that. But with the fate of the US maybe even the world at stake it was a sacrifice that had to be taken.
But as she walked out of the cage she could see that she was being watched by a woman not too far away. She recognised this woman as her opponent in the final round. If looks could kill Jessica would be dead right now.
But for now she just sat down and tried to recover from her fight. She had gotten a couple of bruises but other then that she was fine. She was in better shape then Viper was.
But now it was time for the men’s semi finals.

Thankfully for Jessica there were some medics at the bar so she could have her bruises looked at. They weren’t too bad and she was cleared to fight in the finals. But she could see others who had had received worse injuries then her. A couple of them were taken to the hospital.
But while Jessica waited for the next round she watched the men’s semi-finals. Since one of the fighters wasn’t fit to fight his opponent won by default. The fight after that was one that she preferred not to see. In her mind it was nothing but mindless violence. Normally she wouldn’t compete in anything like this. But she was desperate for the money.
After the semi-finals finished it was time for the women’s final. Jessica was the first to enter the cage. The second woman was her opponent. She was a couple of inches shorter the Jessica but was well muscled. She wasn’t overly muscled like Olga had been. She had long black hair and green eyes. She also had a skull tattooed on her right arm. She didn’t look like she was going to go down easily.
“Ladies and gentlemen we have reached the final round of the women’s division,” said the Announcer. “Today one will leave with glory and the other will leave with shame and without a penny in their pocket. Introducing first last year’s champion. From the Outback the powerful Trojan.” Some people then began to cheer. “And the surprise finalist of this year. All the way from the US of A the tall and intelligent Jessica Palmer.” Some more people cheered. “Now since this is the final fight it will be no holds bared. Anything goes and I mean anything.”
“Right,” replied Jessica and Trojan.
“Now begin.”
Both women then began to punch and kick each other. But they were blocking each attack and at first it seemed like neither of them were going anywhere. This lasted a minute before they briefly backed away from each other.
“You’re good,” said Trojan.
“You’re not too bad yourself,” replied Jessica.
“Shame I have to beat you. We could have been friends.”
“You’re not beating me now not ever.”
“We’ll see.”
The pair went at each other again. Jessica used her height advantage to hit Trojan further away. Since Trojan was shorter then Jessica her reach wasn’t the same as hers. She had to get a little closer to connect any punches.
They began to really beat the hell out of each other. There were some weapons lying around that they tried to use on each other. But for now they seemed to be at a stalemate. Neither seemed to be able to get the upper hand.
“This is amazing,” said the Announcer. “I’ve never seen two so evenly matched fighters like this before. This is so intense I don’t think anyone wants to miss it. Unless there’s a fire and then everyone will have to leave in an orderly fashion.”

For the next couple of minutes Jessica and Trojan was just cancelling each other out. Whenever one seemed to get the upper hand the other would quickly dash it away. But they were just getting tired.
Jessica attempted to use her additional size and strength to try and get an upper hand. But when she tried to use this Trojan would always use a quick attack to counter her. It seemed that this fight would probably go on forever.
But fifteen minutes later a bell went off. The pair stopped fighting and the crowd cheered. The ring announcer was just getting himself a drink at the bar when the bell rang. He quickly put the microphone to his mouth and began talking.
“It seems that this match has run out of time,” said the Announcer. “It’s up to the judges to decide who wins.”
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the judges’ decision. In the meantime both the women left the cage and sat down on the same table. They seemed to be talking away as if they were friends.
“You’re an honourable opponent,” said Trojan. “You didn’t stoop down to any underhanded techniques like the others.”
“You fought well yourself,” replied Jessica. “I’ve never had someone who was able to keep up with me like that.”
“It doesn’t matter who won. It was an honour fighting you.”
“Same for you.”
“Ladies and gentlemen the judges have made their decision,” said the Ring Announcer. “This is a first everyone but the match has ended with a draw. The judges have agreed that the prize money will be splitted equally between both Jessica and Trojan. They are both officially co-champions.”
Both women then looked at each other. They didn’t really expect to get a draw. Jessica was hoping that she would win and take all the prize money. The more money she had the better chance she had at hiring a decent boat.
A couple of minutes later Jessica received her share of the prize money and she left the bar and went into a back alley. She gave out a sigh and then shrank herself back down to her normal size. But when she looked to her left she saw Trojan looking in disbelief. Jessica didn’t expect to see her.
“Y-you shrank,” said Trojan.
“I can explain,” replied Jessica.
“People don’t just shrink and you weren’t wearing stilts.”
“As I said I can explain.”
“Let me guess you’re some kind of super hero?”
“Well actually I am.”
“Do you think I’m bonkers or something. There’s no such thing as superheroes. They’re just in comics.”

“What if I told you that their were alternate universes where comic characters are actually real?” asked Jessica.
“I’d say you need to get your head checked,” replied Trojan.
“I’m telling the truth. I can prove it.” She then pushed the left button on her belt and she began to shrink. She went down to a foot in height. “See with this I can change my size.” She then pressed the right button and she began to grow. She stopped hit at around 10 feet tall.
“B-but that’s impossible.”
“I know it might be. But you watched on the news about a man threatening to nuke the states.” She slowly shrank herself to her normal size.
“Y-yeah.”
“well I’ve been able to track him down to a small island a few miles off the coast. I competed in this tournament so that I could hire a boat. I might need to your help.” Trojan didn’t answer. She was still in shock. “I know this might be a bit much for you to take in.”
“A bit? You’ve done things that aren’t humanly possible.” She then gave a sigh for a moment. “So you’re saying Superman really exists?”
“Yes but he’s not the one I know. But he is alive in an alternate universe.”
“And Spider-Man.”
“The same.”
“Darth Vader.”
“Him I’m not sure of.”
“This is too much. I’ve probably been hit in my head too hard in the fight and I’m hallucinating.”
“No this is real. I know I probably won’t get it but can you give me your money so I can hire a fast enough boat.”
“Y-you can’t man a boat by yourself.”
“I should be able to.”
“But not one that’s fast enough.” She then smiled. “I’ll give you the money if you take me along with you.”
“It’ll be dangerous.”
“I can take care of myself.”
Jessica began to think about it. At first she thought that it was going to be a bad idea. But she figured that it would be best if she had Trojan with her. Not only did she need her to operate a decent boat but she could possible help her if things began to get a little intense.
“Fine you can come,” said Jessica.
“Oh good,” replied Trojan.

Although by now it was the middle of the night Jessica and Trojan both went to the nearby docks. There were plenty of boats there although most of them were privately owned. But the rental hut was closed.
“Guess we better come back tomorrow,” said Trojan.
“No I’ve already wasted enough time,” replied Jessica. “We need to leave now if we want to save all those people.”
“So are you saying we steal one?”
“Steal no. Borrow yes.” She then went to one of the boats and looked at the padlock that held the chains up. She looked over to Trojan. “I’m gonna need your help for this one. When I get to the right size put me near the keyhole.”
“What?”
But before Trojan could say anything else Jessica began to shrink. When she was the size of a small doll Trojan picked her up. But eventually Jessica shrank to near microscopic size. She walked into the keyhole and looked at the locking mechanism. She pushed it out of place and the padlock unlocked itself. She then crawled out of the hole and began to grow to her normal size. When she was too big to fit on Trojan’s hand she was put on the ground. She continued to grow until she was a couple of inches below her normal height.
“Aren’t you suppose to be taller?” asked Trojan.
“Right now that’s not important,” replied Jessica. She then went over the shutter of the boat hire hut and left quite a lot of money. “I’m still paying for this boat.”
Soon after both of the women got into the boat and they were able to move it out of the port and onto the open water. A few people had seen them but they didn’t take much notice of them.
The boat itself was around 20 feet long and seemed to be fairly old. But they hoped that it wouldn’t draw too much attention to them when they got to their destination.
Jessica was still thinking about how they were going to get onto the island without being detected. She didn’t know what was there. There could be hi-tech security systems or it could be something as low tech as a watchman. She hoped that the darkness of night would help them.
“So where exactly are we going?” asked Trojan.
“We’re going to a small island a few miles away,” replied Jessica. “I don’t exactly know what’s on there. All I know is that the signal that hit the States came from there. It could be dangerous so are you still in?”
“Sure.”
“Good now let’s get there before dawn.”
The boat powered up and they drove towards the island. Jessica was nervous. She didn’t know what she was going to face.

Eventually the women could see the island in the distance. It was still a few miles away. But Jessica stopped the bought and dropped the anchor into the water for the moment. She then held out her hand for Trojan.
“Ok I’m going to need you for this,” said Jessica.
“For what?” replied Trojan.
“I need you to hold onto my hand and then put your over hand on the ship. Then I can shrink us.”
“Shrink us?”
“Yes through touch I can grow and shrink anything. The only drawback is that I have to change size in proportion.” Trojan then gave Jessica her hand and she held onto the side of the boat. “Now this may feel a little funny.”
Jessica then pressed the left button on her belt and Trojan and the boat began to shrink with her. She could see that Trojan was uncomfortable with what was happening. But within seconds they were no bigger then a small toy ship. Jessica decided that this was small enough and so she stopped.
Trojan began to look at the waves below. They all seemed huge and she began to get a little scared. But when she looked at Jessica she could see her bringing the anchor back up onto the ship.
“Everything’s so big,” said Trojan.
“You call this small?” replied Jessica. “Once I shrank so small that I entered a subatomic universe.”
“They actually exist?”
“Yep but the first one I shrank into I didn’t stay there too long. I eventually shrank out of that one and I entered another. But when I got there I was able to fix my belt enough to stop me from shrinking or else I would have just kept going. In fact if I wasn’t wearing this belt I would be shrink right now from one universe to another.”
“What was it like?”
“Well imagine starting off as big as the entire universe and going down to the size of an atom. You can truly feel like what it’s like to be both a giant and a minute speck. Imagine one hour you’re big enough to destroy an entire planet. Then you go down so small that you could be eaten by a fly.”
“Wow.”
“Sorry I digress. Let’s keep going we haven’t much time.”
The ship began to go forward. But it was going to take sometime now that they were so small. But they were definitely small enough to get past any radars on the island. She just hoped that there wasn’t going to be too much trouble. Not only did she have to worry about the entire continent of North America but also for the well being of her new found friend.

After another hour or so they soon reached the land. Jessica was the first to leave the boat and step onto dry land. She looked around to see if there were any immediate dangers. But thankfully there seemed to be none for now. She waved Trojan to come out of the boat.
“Hey Jessica if you don’t mind can you make me a little bigger?” asked Trojan. “I hate being this tiny.”
“Not quite yet,” replied Jessica. “If I make us bigger then we’ll be a lot easier to spot. I’ll restore us when the time is right.”
“And when will that be?”
“I’ll know when it happens.”
The pair began to walk further in land. But Jessica kept a constant look out for any kind of danger. But over the horizon she could see what seemed to be a building. It looked like a mountain to them at their size. It would take them a while to walk to it. It would have been easier if Jessica increased their size. But she didn’t want to risk getting caught. If that happened the States would be doomed.
Eventually Trojan had to stop. She was exhausted and she looked at Jessica. She wanted to keep going but she couldn’t leave her friend. She doubled her size and picked her up and put her over her shoulder.
“What are you doing?” asked Trojan.
“Making sure you get there,” replied Jessica.
“But I thought you wouldn’t make yourself bigger.”
“Well it’s to help you. And I don’t think we’ll be detected at this size.”
She continued to walk towards the building. But the closer she got the more Jessica began to notice how odd the building looked. It looked like a traditional English medieval castle. But she could see features around it to prove that it was modern. But she found it very strange that a castle would be here. Whoever lived there was certainly not short of a few dollars.
But when Jessica reached the building she was very tired. She had walked the equivalent of a marathon. Most of that time she had been carrying Trojan. She was more then a little tired.
“Are you alright Jessica?” asked Trojan.
“Yeah I just need to catch my breath,” replied Jessica. She then looked at the wall and saw a crack. “But I think I’ve found our way in.”
“Where?”
“There.” She then pointed to the crack.
“That but it’s too small.”
“For now.” She then shrank to Trojan’s size. “We just need to make ourselves smaller.”
“Even smaller then this?”
“A lot smaller.”
Jessica held onto Trojan’s hand and she reactivated her belt shrinking them both down. They stopped when they were near microscopic size and small enough to get through the crack.

The pair then began to walk through the crack. To them it was the size of a cave with an unbelievable high ceiling. Trojan was nervous with walking at this size. But it was as big as they could get to get through.
But as they were walking through Trojan stepped in something. She looked down and saw an unthinkable number of tiny green things on the ground. She looked over to Jessica.
“What are these?” asked Trojan.
“I thought you would have known,” replied Jessica.
“I don’t.”
“Its bacteria.”
“Bacteria?” Trojan hadn’t realised just how small they were. If they could see germs it meant that they were really, really, really small. But to Jessica this was a fairly comfortable size. She had been this size many times before and she had been a lot smaller on some occasions. “How can you stand being this small?”
“You get used to it eventually. First couple of times I did freak out. But eventually I got over it.”
After several minutes of walking they got to the other side of the crack. But they were in a dark room. Jessica activated a light that was on belt. But they were too small to make anything out so she increased both their sizes to a couple of inches. Although it was still tiny Trojan felt somewhat of a giant now.
But as Jessica shone the light around the room she began to see things. But she didn’t see what she expected to see. She thought that she was going to see hi-tech equipment and weapons. Instead she could see a broom and several cleaning products. There were also some cleaning machines and yellow gloves.
“Where are we?” asked Jessica.
“We’re in the Janitor’s room,” replied Trojan.
“Oh.”
Jessica felt a little embarrassed. But on the other side of the room she could see what seemed some light coming from under a door. The pair quickly went towards it. But they were too large to get underneath so Jessica shrank them once again so that they could get underneath. But when they were through Jessica expanded them back up to a few inches in height.
But just then two men walked down the corridor. They hadn’t noticed the two women and they quickly dived out of sight. They could hear them both talking in what seemed to be American accents. This would be unusual for this area in the world. Most likely the would have been from either Australia, Tasmania or New Zealand.
But when Jessica looked towards a wall she could see security cameras. This made moving around at normal size close to impossible. They would have to move at this size to remain undetected.
“What now?” asked Trojan.
“Now we follow those guys,” replied Jessica. “Most likely they’re going to see their boss.”

The pair quickly followed the men but they stayed out of sight. For no one had seen them and the security cameras hadn’t picked up anything. They were completely oblivious to what was happening.
“So he finally did it,” said one of the men.
“Yeah I didn’t think he was actually gonna do it,” replied the other man.
“I thought he was only kidding when he said he was going to blow up the states.”
“Well I guess he wasn’t kidding. The guy’s a complete nut job.”
“Well as long as he pays us I don’t care about anything else.”
Jessica was listening to every word of their conversation. She thought that they were part of a larger army like the villain she fought against when she was sub-subatomic. She thought that this wasn’t going to be much different.
“One and two come to my office now!” said a voice over the intercom.
“What does he want now?” asked number one.
“Hopefully he’s giving us pay raises,” replied number two.
“You got more chance of seeing a pig fly.”
The pair then walked up some stairs to go to their boss’s office. But Jessica and Trojan were too small to get up the steps. But they didn’t want to get any bigger in case they were detected.
Instead they began to help each other to go up the steps. It would take them a few minutes get up all the steps and they were tired when they got to the top. They had also lost their targets.
“Jessica can’t you make us normal size?” asked Trojan. “I don’t like being such a tiny thing.”
“I’ll make us both normal when the time is right. But over there is a security camera.” She pointed to a security camera on the wall. “If we grow too big we’ll be detected and everyone in the States will die.”
“I know. But I really don’t like being small. Now I know how Alice felt.”
Jessica stared at her blankly for a second. “Who’s Alice?”
“What you’ve never heard of Alice In Wonderland?”
“Can’t say I have.”
“It’s one of the most famous books in the world.”
“I’ll have to read it when we’re done here.”
They continued to walk along. But eventually they could hear voices inside a room. The women were too big to fit underneath so Jessica shrank them further so that they could get under. She then enlarged them to a couple of inches again.
They saw the two men they had seen before standing by a desk. There was a man sitting behind the desk but he wore a mask so they couldn’t see what he looked like. His voice was also distorted.

“Has the President come up with his final decision?” asked the Masked man in a distorted voice.
“No sir,” replied Number One.
“They’re taking their sweet time. Maybe we should give them a little something to help make up their minds.”
“Cool what’s the first target?”
“I’ll let you pair decide it between yourselves. But make sure it’s a target that’ll strike fear into everyone’s hearts. But don’t bomb Missouri or Alaska.”
“Got a soft spot for those places sir?”
“No. But if you bomb anywhere in those states no one will know about it for years. Go for somewhere in New York or California.”
“Can we bomb New Orleans?” asked Number Two.
“Yes that’s perfect. Go and land a nuke in the middle of New Orleans.”
“Yes sir.”
The pair then began to walk away. Jessica and Trojan followed them but they weren’t fast enough to keep up with them. Because of this Jessica increased their sizes up to around a foot and a half. This made them able to keep up with them. But they were still being careful not to be seen.
But eventually they reached what seemed to be a control room. There was a huge screen with a map on it. There was a large keyboard in front of it and Number one went straight to it.
“Hey remember that song that had New Orleans in it?” asked Number Two.
“Which one was that?” replied Number One.
“There is a house in New Orleans,” sang Number Two. “They call the Raising Sun. And it’s been the ruin of many poor boys. And God I know I’m one.”
“Who sang that now?”
“I think it was Elvis.”
“Doesn’t sound like Elvis.”
“I’m only guessing.”
They were just about to set one of the nukes to hit New Orleans. But both of them felt a tap on their shoulders. When they turned around they were both confronted by a pair of 7 foot Amazons. They quickly knocked the two men unconscious. Although Trojan accidentally knocked out one of Number One’s teeth.
“That wasn’t too bad,” said Jessica. “At least we’ve saved New Orleans for now. But we have to get their leader.”
“I didn’t know you could make me taller then normal,” replied Trojan.
“Actually it’s the first time I’ve tried it.”
Trojan then looked down at Number Two. He was still unconscious and she laughed at him.
“By the way it was the Animals.”
“Why hasn’t the nuke been launched?” asked a voice over a com link.

The women couldn’t say anything. It would lead the Leader right to them. But he waited a couple of seconds before trying to contact them again.
“Respond immediately,” said the Leader over the com link. He still didn’t get any word back from them.
The Leader was still in his office. He went into his drawer and took out a pistol. He then slowly began to walk down to where his two henchmen had gone. From inside the launch room Jessica could hear him coming. She and Trojan weren’t big enough to be bullet-proof and there wasn’t enough room for them to get really big.
All she could do was hold onto Trojan’s hand and shrink them back down to the size of a rodent. No sooner had they done this the Leader came in. he could see his henchmen on the ground unconscious.
“Seems I’m not alone,” he said to himself.
Jessica and Trojan were watching him. Jessica was trying to think her way around this. The only way that the world would be truly safe would be to destroy this complex. But she didn’t want to blow it up in case it set off the nukes. If all the nukes went off the damage and possible loss of life would be unthinkable.
“I have an idea,” she said.
“What is it?” replied Trojan.
“Let’s just say that he’ll be in for a big surprise.”
She then shrank herself until she was handheld size compared to Trojan. She then instructed her friend to put her in her pocket.
But when Trojan did this the Leader just about saw them on the ground. Before Trojan could run he grabbed her and brought her up to his level. He definitely wasn’t happy to see her.
“Looks like I have a tiny intruder,” he said. “I’m amazed that someone of your size could take out my henchmen.”
“Looks can be deceiving,” replied Trojan.
“Your efforts of stopping me are amusing but fruitless. You’re far too small to stop me. The States will be mine or it’ll be destroyed.”
“But why are you doing this?”
“Simple I want money. Lots and lots of money. You won’t believe how cheap I got these nukes from the Russians. They were practically giving them away.”
“Too bad you’re not getting away with this.”
“Oh really and what are you going to do?”
Inside Trojan’s pocket Jessica put her hand onto Trojan’s leg and then she activated her belt to herself and Trojan bigger.
The Leader noticed that Trojan was getting bigger. He dropped her out of panic. But she was still growing. When she hit the ground she was 4 feet tall and still growing. He pointed his gun at her but she grabbed it when she reached six feet tall.
Out of sheer panic he kicked her and she went into the wall. The impact caused Jessica to fall unconscious. But she was still touching Trojan and her belt was still activated causing Trojan to grow ever bigger.

The leader was in some panic at the sight of a growing woman. He quickly ran out of the room. But when Trojan attempted to chase him she was just a little too big to fit through the door.
“Ok Jessica stop making me bigger,” said Trojan.
But this fell upon deaf ears. Jessica was still unconscious in Trojan’s pocket. She had accidentally left her belt activated onto grow. It was making Trojan grow ever taller and she was beginning to run out of room.
When her head hit the ceiling she sat down on the ground as she continued to grow. She tried to get Jessica out of her pocket but she was running out of room to move her arms. She felt extremely cramped in the very tiny room.
Meanwhile outside the Leader knew that he had lost this round. He was making his to his escape boat. He had just reached the beach when he heard a crashing noise. He turned around and saw Trojan bursting out of the building.
“Oh come on!” he shouted. “I just finished paying the mortgage for that.”
Trojan stood up to her full height which was well over 50 feet and she was still growing. But she saw the Leader and walked over to him. He tried to run away but she quickly grabbed him. It seemed that he was growing smaller in her hand.
“Put me down you overgrown bitch!” shouted the Leader.
“Wrong choice of words little man,” replied Trojan.
She then put the Leader on top of a very tall tree. If he tried to jump he would most likely die of high fall. Her attentions then moved to Jessica. She took her out of her pocket and she saw that she was unconscious. Both women were still growing as Trojan went past 100 feet.
“Come on Jess wake up!” shouted Trojan.
But this didn’t do anything. She had to resort to going to the ocean and sprinkling sea water over her. Thankfully Jessica began to wake up and the first thing she saw was the growing Trojan.
“Trojan,” said Jessica.
“Jess stop making me bigger,” replied Trojan.
“What?”
“You’re still making me grow.”
Jessica soon realised what her friend meant and she looked at her belt. She could see that it was still activated so she quickly stopped it. This caused them both to stop growing. Jessica was easily 10 feet tall was while Trojan was a little under 200 feet tall at this point in time.
“Thanks for that,” said Trojan. She then turned to a tree. “Now to deal with the pain in the ass.”

But when Trojan looked at the tree she could see that the Leader had disappeared. She looked around at first but she quickly saw him running away. It only took her a second to catch up with him and grab him.
“And where do you think you’re going little man?” asked Trojan.
“I was just err,” replied the Leader. “Finding a bunch of flowers for you.”
“If that’s true that’s very sweet. But most likely you’re bullshitting me.”
“No I’m not.”
“You’re going away for a long time.”
She then got a piece of string out of her pocket and wrapped it around the Leader. She made sure there was some around his legs so that he couldn’t run away this time. But when she had finished she turned her attention back to Jessica.
“Hey Jess you wouldn’t mind making me small again?” asked Trojan.
“Sure,” replied Jessica. “Did you want me to make a you a few inches taller or shorter then your natural height?”
“No thanks. Just make me normal.”
“You sure?”
“Yes I’m sure.”
“Ok.”
Trojan then put the Leader down on the ground and Jessica put her hand on the giant size Trojan. She then activated the belt and they both began to shrink. Trojan was glad to see that she was shrinking. Things were too weird for her when she was a giant.
Within a minute she was back down to her normal size. But Jessica was tiny on her shoulder. But she just jumped off and she grew herself to a couple of inches below her natural height.
“There you go 5’7,” said Jessica. “You’re natural height.”
“Oh good,” replied Trojan. “Being taller or shorter still seems like something from the twilight zone.”
They both looked at the Leader. He was still cowering at the sight of the two women. He didn’t know what they were going to do to him next.
“What do we do with him?” asked Trojan.
“Take him to the authorities,” replied Jessica. “They’ll know what to do with scum like him.”
They both picked up the leader and took him to where they had kept the boat. But it was still tiny size so Jessica had to increase it to normal. This caused her to grow beyond her normal size. But she soon shrunk back afterwards.
“Now just one more thing,” said Trojan.
“What’s that?” replied Jessica.
“Which way is it to Australia?”

“Don’t worry I remember the way,” said Jessica.
“What are you some kind of genius?” replied Trojan. She then paused for a moment. “Oh yeah you are.”
Both the women then grabbed the Leader and they put him onto the boat. There was a long piece of rope on there so they tied him up with it so that he couldn’t escape. But Trojan didn’t want him to move anywhere.
“Hey it’s a little tight,” said the Leader.
“Shit happens,” replied Trojan. “Now relax. You’re in for a long journey back to the mainland.”
“You’ll never take me a live.”
“That can be arranged.”
“No wait. I mean I’m more then happy to come along.”
“That’s better little man.”
Jessica then activated the boat and they went back towards Australia. But the waters were pretty rough and the Leader wasn’t feeling too well. He was throwing up over the side of the boat.
“Slow down,” said the Leader. “I’m dying over here.”
“You’re only sea sick,” replied Jessica. “Don’t be such a big baby. The sooner we get to land the sooner you can feel better.”
“And the sooner you can take me to the police.”
“Exactly.”
“You know I’m not going to let that happen.”
“And how do you expect to do that?”
“I’ll come up with something.” He then threw up into the sea once again. “When I get around to it.”
“I doubt you will.”
They continued as fast as the boat would take them. The leader was just feeling worse and worse as the trip went along. He threw up several more times. But it was getting close to dawn and Jessica could see the sun. She could also see land not too far away from where they were.
“We’re almost there,” said Jessica.
“First thing I’m doing when I get to land is have a nice warm shower,” replied Trojan. “I bet I smell like a pig.”
“You look like a pig,” replied the Leader.
“Hey don’t be like that.”
“I can be whatever I want.”
