Deletion by Iczerman 1 Clark Kent could hear the whispers. It was out of respect for others that he trained his mind to block out their private conversations. It was also something he had to do to keep his sanity. But this time it was different, for what he heard made him smile. " Such a pretty face trapped in such a fat body." " This is a good day for women, we'll show these men that we're capable of achieving great things, that we're not merely sex objects." "With the 'good old boy' network alive and well, how will she find a job with such a weight problem, no matter how smart she is." " If only they knew the truth." Thought Clark. Today was Graduation Day at Metropolis University. It was also a rare occasion that the PHD degrees in both Mathematics and Physics were to be presented to one graduate that successfully challenged the doctoral exams. Dissertations were previously submitted and accepted by the Doctoral committee. " And it is with great pleasure and honor to confer the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the fields of Mathematics and Physics to Amy Brigand- Anderson." The Chancellor of the University of Metropolis had a smug smile on his face as he shook Amy's hand as all the women of the audience rose to their feet to give her a standing ovation. Amy had to have a graduation gown custom made to compensate for the 'tent effect' her massive breasts had on 'normal' gowns. It was Jimmy Olsen's idea for Amy to have a special waist 'hoop' made so it would look like Amy weighed an obese four hundred pounds. " How much does she weigh? Poor thing." Said a nondescript voice in the crowd. "About four hundred pounds." Thought Clark with a grin. He remembered a couple of days ago when Amy arrived in Metropolis. He could see that she had gotten bigger since the last time he saw her. Her figure was more exaggerated due to her huge breasts and her small, tightly belted waistline. She seemed to ignore all the people that were staring at her body as she walked through the airport. Clark couldn't help but notice her deep abdominal muscles covered by the body-hugging, clinging material. Amy's bright smile when she greeted him at the airport made him think about his relationship with Lois Lane. Sure, Superman loved her, but she still treated Clark Kent like he was some country bumpkin. There was also Lana Lang, a top fashion designer that still had a crush on him and knew he was Superman. But Amy was altogether in a different league. She was nice to Clark Kent even before she knew he was Superman, very wealthy, extremely intelligent, and was far stronger than anyone he knew. He started to think about how big and beautiful Amy's breasts were when he realized that the ceremony was over and that the voices had grown silent.... 2 The next day Clark and Jimmy drove up to the hotel where Amy was staying. When they came to the front desk, they found a note from Amy asking that they join her in her room for breakfast. Room service at the Metropolis Montre'mont was not something to miss so they both agreed. (this was the first time Clark had a second breakfast) The food was excellent. A cook was there to make anything they wanted to eat and all three enjoyed the fabulous view of the city from Amy's balcony. Jimmy, though, was uncharacteristically silent after the meal. Should he? What would she say? Finally he brought out his camera. " Amy, er, I was just wondering. If its not too much trouble..and .and.I don't mean to be rude. Could you stand next to the window and.." Jimmy faltered. " Yes, Jimmy?" Amy's voice was comforting. The look on her face gave Jimmy the courage to ask. " Could you.um..flex your arms for me. I would like the picture for my.private collection." Jimmy could hear Clark's sharp intake of breath. " Sure, if I get to see them also, I've never had pictures taken before!" Amy said as she walked lightly to the window, turned around, and slowly flexed her biceps. Clark, with his super hearing, could hear the blood fill Amy's growing masses of muscle. Higher and higher her biceps soared from her arms, not stopping until the peaks were level with her wrists. "She IS bigger." Thought Clark to himself when he saw how big Amy smiled as she posed for Jimmy. He could feel her energy emanate from her body, energizing him and causing him to unconsciously stand straighter. He could tell instantly that she was much stronger now than when the last time she was here in Metropolis, when they were whisked away to Gigatonia. When she started to pump her arms, her biceps swelled even higher and larger! Her breasts also seemed to enlarge, the neckline of her low cut blouse widening due to Amy's expanding cleavage. Jimmy tried to hide how anxious he was to get the film of Amy's photoshoot developed, but Clark could tell that he could hardly wait. Giving an excuse about forgetting something at his desk, Clark drove the three of them to the Daily Planet. When they got there Jimmy hastily excused himself and almost ran to the darkroom. " Be careful Jimmy, don't wreck that film!" Called Clark (a little too enthusiastically) when he almost ran onto Perry White and Lois Lane. " Um.. Sorry! Gotta go!" Mumbled Jimmy. " What's up with that kid?" Asked Mr. White. " The picture that will seal his Pulitzer Prize winning story." Said Lois sarcastically. When she turned around and saw Amy with Clark Kent, she hesitated for just a second. Amy Brigand-Anderson, the one person that she didn't want to see. "I don't care if she is a billionaire and earned 12 doctoral degrees from Metropolis University, she is still an affront to all us working women trying to make it in a man's world." She thought to herself. Now if only Perry White thought the same way. " Why Ms. Anderson! What a pleasure it is to finally meet you!" said Perry as he walked up and shook Amy's hand. " Did Jimmy get pictures?" Perry muttered to Clark out of the corner of his mouth. " Well, if it isn't bubbles herself." Said Lois wryly as she caught up with Mr. White. " Hello Ms. Lane." Said Amy with a small bow, not paying attention to the jibe. Lois seethed as she saw Amy's large bosom bounce ever so slightly when she bowed. "Her breasts have gotten bigger." Thought Lois angrily. " Come on Perry, let's let Small-ville and bubble's here alone to talk about.whatever." Lois left in a huff grabbing Perry White's wrist and pulling him along. " I'm sorry about Ms. Lane, Amy, she was rude." Clark apologized. "Don't worry about it Mr. Kent. Not everybody is going to like me, even when they have no good reason. That's their choice. But she is right." Amy's voice became soft. " I do..need to talk to you.in private." 3 Superman often went exploring the universe in his newly restored spacecraft, the one that brought him to earth in the first place. The people at Star Labs added a passenger seat and equipped the space vehicle with very a complicated sensor array, invented by Ms. Brigand-Anderson herself. Professor Hamilton was falling over himself to oblige Superman and Amy's request, since the laboratory was to get this new sensor array in exchange for the favor. " We'll need to find a uninhabited sector, no life signs must be present." Said Amy as they sped through space at light speed." This is a marvelous craft, so small and yet equipped with light speed! You must come from a very intelligent and advanced race!" " That's right." Said Superman with a smile. " It must be hard to be the only one left." Said Amy softly. " I've learned to cope. That's why I'm so protective of Kara, she not a member of my race, but she's one of the few links I have to my past. But it's nice to have good friends." " I know. I'm very lucky to have such good friends and a loving family even though I've been adopted." " Yes, me too." Said Superman. " And I'm fortunate to count you as one of them, Amy." "Thank you." Said Amy quietly. But a small beeping noise needed Amy's attention. " Looks like we're coming up on something that might be suitable. Nothing but asteroids in a 20 million-kilometer radius, life signs are nil." " What exactly are we doing way out here? You didn't say at Star Labs." Asked Superman. "I've been having a problem recently with my Graviton Bar, the one that I work out with. I know that the workout area is magical and gets its energy from the Bar so that it remains stable. But when I use the Bar at setting 75, its starts to.what's the best word.'fade' from sight. I could still feel it, but I have a hard time seeing it. I have a theory about what's happening, but I need to test it. I wrote my doctoral dissertation on Black hole theory. If what I think is happening is true, this could be a monumental discovery!" Amy was excited. " How does it work?" "It manipulates gravity in such a way as to increase the Bar's density and weight, but the gravitational effect is limited only to the bar itself, not it's surroundings. It doesn't increase my body's density and weight for instance." " Sounds interesting." Superman was curious himself. The Graviton Bar was rigged for communications and sent adrift in space. After making sure about life signs and any passing ships, they positioned themselves a good 10 million kilometers away from the floating Bar. " There sill be a 5 second delay between the time I signal the Bar to activate and it actually doing so. I will start the sensors recording the data, and I will signal the bar to activate...now." Amy pressed the button. Five seconds later their ship was wrenched violently forward. Superman and Amy were thrown back against their seats, pinned by the inertia of their spacecraft. " It's a Black Hole! It's drawing us in! Where did it come from? We have 7 seconds before we reach the Event Horizon!" Shouted Superman. The small ship, along with several large asteroids, was careening toward the growing void spreading ahead of them. "Deactivating Bar now!" Yelled Amy. " I'm activating retro thrusters! But our inertia is too strong!" As soon as it began they no longer felt the pull of the Graviton Bar, but even with retro thrusters at full power the forward inertia carried them well past the Bar's position. But it was not all that easy, for Superman had to evade the asteroids that were ripped from their positions in space. When they finally stopped, they both sat silently for what seemed like hours. " What happened" Asked Superman. " I'll access the data now, set a course to retrieve the Graviton Bar." Amy was silent when they finally arrived at the Bar's position. When it was safely retrieved and secured, Amy interpreted the results. " I was right." She said softly. " It created a Black Hole. The gravity became so powerful that even light particles could not escape its gravitational field. That's why the asteroids were being pulled toward it along with us." " But, we were 10 million kilometers away! Was it that powerful??" Asked Superman dumbfounded. But soon he put two and two together. " Wait just a minute! You..WORKOUT... with that.that thing?" " Yes." Said Amy sternly. "I'm erasing all data now and when we get back I'm withdrawing all the patent applications. This cannot fall into the wrong hands!" Amy's fingers flew over the keyboard, deleting all the data gathered and the records of their journey. "But..But." "This bar could be turned into a powerful weapon. All they'll have to do is drop one of these things near a planet and it would be sucked in upon itself and be destroyed. The findings must not leave this spacecraft. And it will be years before anyone can detect this event. Good thing it lasted only a few seconds." Amy was relieved, but she noticed Superman's mouth still gaping open from amazement. "You better close your mouth before something flies in." Said Amy with a wink. "I'm not talking about that thing being a weapon. You use that Bar to workout with? I knew you were strong, but not like.how much do you think it weighs?" " I'm not sure..and I don't want to find out. Thank you Superman, I'm sorry to put us in danger like this." Apologized Amy. " I want to find out." Thought Superman to himself. "I knew you were stronger than me but..well, you've taught me a lesson. NEVER underestimate a woman's strength! Let's head home!" Superman entered the coordinates for earth in the computer and soon they were speeding home. 4 Sunday Morning, one Amy and Lita's favorite days, the day of their workout. " Hey Amy, what are those discs? And how come you're using the Mk.2 Graviton Bar? I thought you outgrew that thing a long time ago" Asked Lita. " I found out what was happening with the Mk.3, so I designed each of these discs so that they have the same effect on the total weight as a Mk.1. This way I can increase the total weight past setting 75 on the MK.3.With the Mk.2 set at .9 and two of these discs, I could still get a good workout and increase the weight as may times as I have discs. I also decoupled them from the bar so that it won't fade into a black hole." " A black hole? I read that they are only theory, no scientific evidence to support their existence." " You've been poking around in my library, have you?" Amy teased. " Just like you always say, one has to improve oneself as much as one can. Speaking about that, let's get pumped!" THE END
