Heroineburgh: Episode 20 Red Gina controlled transformation

Another of the most popular characters in the Heroineburgh series is Red Gina, our She-Hulk analogue.

In the past, Gina has sometimes spontaneously changed into her superhuman persona under the influence of extreme anger, which was very dangerous for anyone around her.

But in more recent months, with the development of an adrenalin pill, Gina has been able to control her transformations at will by the simple administration of the drug. This has allowed her to go on regular missions with other members of the Heroine League.

Here is a sequence from Episode 20 of Red Gina's controlled transformation.

 

Veronica Benedetti was sitting comfortably on her couch at home, perusing her textbook and studying for her latest law school exam. Her laptop was wide open, and suddenly she heard a 'ding!' coming from the computer's tinny speakers.


Checking the screen and tapping a few keys, she grinned broadly. "Oh boy! The alert that I installed paid off. These mafia idiots are still using their private message board from the 90s, totally unaware that I've had the password this whole time from Daddy. And it looks like they're planning something big!"

She quickly picked up her cell phone and dialed up her best friend Gina Garibaldi, a computer programmer who was also a staunch activist against domestic violence, in addition to fighting crime and corruption in her shiny red bodysuit as the mighty heroine Red Gina.

Ever since the explosion which killed her college roommate Angela Prosciutti's entire family - a brutal hit that had been ordered by Bloomfield boss Carlo Graziani, who usurped her father's position as Mafia capo - Veronica had deeply appreciated the friendship of Gina, and it seemed as if they were fast becoming soulmates as well as simpatico superheroine colleagues.

Now she was calling upon her new best friend to join in a dangerous foray. "Hey Gina! I got a note that the three big mob bosses, including my white whale Carlo Graziani, are holding a secret summit in an abandoned Bloomfield warehouse in one hour. There won't even be any goombahs - they're alone and unguarded so there's no funny business. Want to pay them a surprise visit and administer some swift...street justice?"

"Sure thing!" Gina replied in her bubbly demeanor, standing in the foyer of her apartment building only a few blocks away from Veronica. "I wouldn't miss a chance to go into battle alongside my bestie! Just text me the location, and I'll meet you out front."

"Great, Gina, Let's kick some mobster asses. I'll see you there!"

Hanging up the phone, Veronica could hardly concentrate anymore on her studies, as her adrenalin levels were already spiking from anticipation. "I can't wait to put on that tight red costume," Veronica admitted to herself. "It makes me feel so sexy and powerful, so sure of myself, like I could accomplish anything I wanted. And what I want is to show the criminals of this city that a woman can stop them in their tracks...and actually look like a real woman while doing it!"

Veronica slipped her fit body into her tight catsuit, with her powerful legs going in first, and then her muscular arms. She cinched the suit up tightly against her crotch and pulled the zipper up and over her prominent breasts, until it encased her entirely at the crook of her neck. Finally, the beautiful law student put on her black domino mask, flipping her long brown hair over the straps so the tresses cascaded beautifully over her shoulders.

"This suit brings out my vengeful persona, and I'm ready for action," Veronica assured herself, as she struck a pose, placing her hands on her hips and wielding her deadly escrima sticks. "I'm confident that I cannot be defeated. I am...VENDETTA!"

Wasting no time, she placed the sticks inside her boots, and sped off to meet her colleague at the warehouse.

Less than an hour later, Vendetta and Gina entered the open back door of the unassuming Bloomfield warehouse, bounding up the stairwell to the second floor and entering what seemed like an empty room, except for a few boxes stacked in the corner.

"Don't worry, Gina," Vendetta assured her partner. "This part of the building hasn't been in use for a while. We can plan our attack carefully here. By the way, how come you aren't in costume yet?"

Vendetta scanned Gina, who was wearing a goth-rocker ensemble. Still sporting her nightclub gear, Gina was wearing a spiky leather jacket over a revealing black top with spaghetti straps, that showed off quite a bit of her lovely cleavage. She had on fuzzy striped gloves and a heavy chain necklace, as well as a pair of tight leather pants. Her jet-black hair was shaved closely along the sides while extending straight down her torso. She had the usual piercings on her lips and nose, and plenty of goth eye makeup from her night out on the town.

"You look a bit too much like a Hot Topic employee," joked Vendetta, "and not so much like a superheroine!"

"Ha ha, yeah I know what you mean. I even used to work there before I met you," chuckled Gina. "Hey, give me a break. I just didn't have time to transform after you called. Plus, I certainly didn't want to do it in public."

"But now that Cybrina put me on that strict medical regimen so that I can work safely at Cybertech," she continued, "becoming Red Gina is a cinch, and not dangerous at all. It even feels really good now when I change. I mean really...really good! And I don't mind at all if you see it. We have a secluded area here, so do you mind if I transform in front of you, Ronnie?"

Vendetta smiled and nodded with enthusiasm. In the past, she had rarely seen Gina become her superhuman self without the uncontrollable side effect of exploding into a fit of rage and attacking everyone around her. It had even happened at League headquarters, where Red Gina had engaged in a physical battle with Jinniyya, the Lebanese mistress of the wind. Luckily, the Arabic superwoman had been able to stop her and calm her down.

The contrast between that previous mayhem and this carefully controlled change, which Gina claimed was actually pleasurable, was shaping up to be quite...interesting. Vendetta frankly couldn't wait. "Of course, Gina. You know I'm behind you all the way. Go for it!"

"OK, here goes. Stand back a bit," warned the goth girl, opening up a bottle of her adrenalin pills, and swallowing two of the red ones down. "These pills neutralize my other suppressants. The effects should take hold in a few seconds, as I slowly......ooooohhhhhhh!"

Vendetta observed with amazement as Gina began to moan with ecstatic bliss. Without the suppressants in her system, the levels of oxytocin in her body skyrocketed in her blood, sending signals to her muscles to harden and expand. Gina's brawny arms began to feel very tight inside her leather jacket and her striped shirt.

Not only that, but her legs added girth and sinew, straining against the fabric of her pants, which looked like they were about to rip apart at any moment. Gina groaned softly as her physical expansion mounted. "Uhhhhhh...it's getting so tight...I must...I have to get out of these damn clothes!"

The mitochondria in her cells were manufacturing energy at a fantastic rate, so much that bolts of electricity began crackling around her arms and face. Gina's increased capacity to manipulate her own body's energy allowed her to mentally generate a blinding flash, transmuting her everyday gothic attire into the uniform she had invoked from her imagination several years ago, when she first became her superhuman self and rampaged through the offices of Cybertech, smashing equipment and attacking the employees.

As the flash dissipated, Vendetta could clearly see that Red Gina now wore her signature shiny crimson bodysuit with white lined trimmings and a biohazard symbol. The costume hugged her voluptuous curves like a second skin, and Red Gina flexed her biceps, reveling in the strength and power of her newly returned Amazonian frame. "Ah...that's so much better...I feel free to be Red Gina now, and I'm in control!"

But the same oxytocin that gave Gina such incredible strength also increased her overall attractiveness and even her bust size. It was fair to say that Vendetta took a long look into Gina's gorgeous gothic eyes and bright red lips, and realized that she had more than just a mild crush on her best friend.

But Vendetta wasn't quite ready to admit her feelings to Red Gina, not just yet, and they still had a job to do. So instead, she flirted with ambiguity. "Ah, you know, Gina, if I didn't like boys, you'd be my very first choice of a girlfriend!"

Red Gina nodded, smiling as if she understood the romantic subtext of Vendetta's praise. She remembered the loving embraces they had shared after their each of their hard-fought victories. "That's a high compliment, Ronnie. I feel the same way about you - you're so brave and beautiful. But let's turn our attention to Carlo and his buddies. How shall we approach them?"

"Simple enough. I'll come in from the front, and you surprise them from the back," explained Vendetta. "They'll have nowhere to run!"

Vendetta took the lead down the deserted hallway to the mobsters' meeting room, and Red Gina followed close behind, admiring her Italian friend's fit physique. She realized that Vendetta had a crush on her, and wondered how it would feel to unzip that tight spandex costume and explore the body of the woman inside it.
