The two of you have been straining for a half an hour. You always believed yourself to be stronger than Diana but she seems to be holding her own even when you’re giving it your all. It’s frustrating…you shouldn’t be having this much trouble. Maybe you are subconsciously holding back on her? You’re so used to suppressing your super strength that it’s difficult to let it loose in full force sometimes. No that’s not it, you think to yourself. You’re definitely putting all your strength into this so why so much struggling?
The answer occurs to you when you unintentionally lock eyes with your opponent and see her fierce resolve within them. She’s matching your strength with sheer power of will. Diana has always been extremely competitive and you realize she’s determined to win this. Even if you are physically stronger than her, you may not be able to beat her. You feel your own confidence falter a bit and you arm shifts slightly as Diana starts to get ahead in this contest. Mustering your strength, you’re able to push her arm back to the starting position.
In the background you can hear the heroines cheering Diana on. In this situation super-hearing isn’t really doing you any favors. It’s distracting to her the girls talk about what they would do with you if they had you as their slave.
“If Superman loses this, I’m really going to make him pamper me like a queen,” Canary whispered.
“That’s letting him off way too easy.” Huntress told her. “I’m going to really abuse him getting him to act as a practice dummy for my martial arts moves. Maybe I’ll even tie him up and use him as a kickbag.”
The other heroines stared at her.
“Oh c’mon…He could take it.” Huntress said smirking. “Though I really would like to bruise him up a bit. Maybe, I can find a way around his invulnerability.”
The scary thing is your not sure Huntress is joking. She always did have a bit of a sadistic streak to her. What’s worse is that you hear giggling from the other heroines meaning they are not all that opposed to the concept.
“I have to admit the idea of getting to rough up Superman does sound really appealing.” Vixen says.
You feel Diana push your arm back slightly as your concentration slips. This time you’re not able to move it back.
“It would be nice to get to be the one to boss Kal around for a change,” Supergirl says smiling. “He’s always telling me what to do.”
Not you too Kara, you think.
“Hey look she’s actually moving his arm.” Hawkgirl says noticing you beginning to struggle
“Don’t…sound…so…surprised!!” Diana says straining and pushing your arm down a little further.
Hawkgirl shrugged apologetically.
You hear the girls cheering in excitement encouraging Wonder Woman on. You frown thinking that you always wanted them to support and work together this effective though you never thought they would do that against you.
Diana shifts your arm a little more beginning to gain a sizable lead in this match.
Beginning to feel assured in her victory, she starts to taunt you. “I’m…disappointed…Clark…thought you’d…put…up…more of a…fight!”
You want to respond to her teasing but you can’t spare the concentration. If you try to open your mouth…this match is as good as her. You feel her push even further getting your forearm to touch the table. Your now hanging in by your wrist.
Diana smiles knowing she has enough leverage to crush you. She holds back slightly just to allow you that realize that too. Eventually she sees what she wants as your face changes to reflect the mixture of frustration, fear and defeat at your impending lose.
“See ya,”she says suddenly pushing forwards and knocking your knuckles against the table hard.
The female heroes are ecstatic. They rush to congratulate her.
“Wow I can’t believe you actually beat him Diana.” Supergirl says
“Ah he’s weaker then he look.” She teases winking at you.
For the next five minutes the girls seem to forget you are there even there as they pat her on the back and talk about how cool it was that she was able to physically overcome one of the strongest heroes. You get the feeling that you’re a symbolic stepping stone in the notion of girl power. It’s definitely not a great ego booster for you. Eventually the inevitable happens and they turn their attention to you.
Diana speaks to you first. “Looks like I won Clark.”
“So it seems,” You agree nodding. Careful not to antagonize her, you quickly add in. “Congratulations Diana.”
She smiles sensing it must have been rough acknowledgment for you. “I guess that means I have myself a slave.”
