30 Booze and Sex

December 14th

///

"To freedom!!"

"Cheers!"

Mary lets out a laugh as the others join her in cheer, smacking their glasses against her own, spilling plenty of their holy liquid, before they are silenced as they all simultaneously start chugging at their pints together.

With an exaggerated exhale, Mary slams her class back on the table, smirking in pride at having been the first to finish downing their drink.

Today is the day her probation came to an end, also marking the day that she transitioned from the Wards to the Protectorate proper. She's spent practically the entire day getting dragged around from meeting to conference to meeting, signing a bunch of paperwork that she didn't read and giving some public statements about her promotion, reaffirming her dedication to protecting the people and all that jazz.

It was such a pain in the ass. At least the conferences were kind of fun, but only because lying so blatantly on live television is too funny to not amuse her.

Today really has been full of eventfulness, as a part of her probation ending meant that she finally got full access to her inheritance. Let's just say that her new bank account has a lot of zeroes.

Naturally the first thing she did with all that money was pay for a lawyer to read through all the crap she was getting thrust at her for her. She actually ended up hiring Carol Dallon, also known as Brandish of New Wave.

Not out of any 'Hero solidarity' or anything, it's just that with New Wave having open identities, it's convenient to hire her since Carol can easily be trusted to keep a fellow Hero's identity secret. Plus she's pretty used to all the legalese regarding secret identities.

Perks of being both a lawyer and a Hero is understanding the new laws regarding Heroic identities.

It's also nice that they got along well enough. Not that Mary would really say they could be friends, as their personalities are far too opposing for that, but Carol is pretty professional and easy enough to get along with so long as you're respectful.

That said, Mary did have to pay a premium since Carol can't really take too many jobs at the moment, what with having to deal with her youngest daughter's recent trigger.

And isn't that an exciting prospect. Amy Dallon, a biokinetic. Naturally, the exact extent of her power is going to be kept under wraps, all the public needs to know is that she can heal. But still, once all the paperwork is done with, Brockton Bay will have it's very own healer.

Mary is really looking forward to having both arms again. It shouldn't be long now anyway, since the PRT is getting kind of antsy about getting Gallant out of his coma. It's not very good PR for a Ward to be left comatose after all.

Give it a few days and she'll be right as rain.

She's shaken out of her thoughts by the sound of the others finishing their drinks.

She came out with Assault and Battery, a.k.a. Ethan and Laura, as well as Indiana and Dave, who is a trooper she befriended. Dave used to be Special Forces before everything military started getting folded into the PRT.

He's also super macabre, which is fun. Indi is his wife or something, Mary didn't really pay attention because she isn't attractive or funny enough for her to really care about the woman. They both already know the identities of all the Protectorate Heroes though, so she felt she might as well invite them.

"Damn, how the hell did you finish so quickly?" Ethan asks her with a grin, to which she responds with a grin of her own.

"I'm just a natural at swallowing~." She wiggles her eyebrows for extra emphasis on the double entendre, which makes the others all laugh loudly. They're already a few cups down.

Even Laura chuckles, though she does give Mary a playfully scolding look before snuggling up to Ethan, hugging his arm and giving her a smug grin.

Mary just laughs, because Ethan discreetly gave her a thumbs up for getting his partner to get closer. She's such a great wingwoman.

That being said, since it's her 'birthday' (Falcone promoted to the Protectorate today, so today is now Falcone's birthday) she wants to do something to celebrate, and since her options are limited, she's decided that she's going to go for Operation: Superhero Threesome.

Her targets are naturally Ethan and Laura.

Now, Ethan being a rational dude will be easy to convince, the only issue is getting Laura on board.

That's where copious amounts of alcohol comes in.

It also helps that she's been subtly hinting at a potential threesome for the past week, included but not limited to simply talking about threesomes in general whenever an opportunity came to bring it up naturally.

She's honestly probably been talking about sex too much, in hindsight. She's going to have to slowly dial it back over the next few weeks so that Laura doesn't realise she was being manipulated.

Ah well, it'll be worth it.

"So Mary, whatcha gonna do now that you're 'free'?" Ethan asks, earning a slap on his arm by Laura which he ignores. "I mean, you complained about it so much you've gotta have some idea right?"

"Hell yeah I do. For one, I'm buying my own place to live in."

"Hannah will be heartbroken," Laura playfully chides. 

"Eh, she's probably expecting it already."

"Why do you even want to move out so badly? I figured you'd like living with Hannah, since she cooks, cleans n' stuff for you n' all."

"First of all, I don't mind cooking and cleaning, second of all, I don't want to live with her because I want to have hot and steamy sex with strangers."

Assault and Dave laugh.

Laura doesn't. "Ok. TMI. You could have just said you wanted your privacy and left it at that."

Imogen or whatever her name is says something too but Mary was too busy drinking more booze to hear it.

"I was being pre-emptive," Mary defends. "Ethan would have gone all-" putting her glass down she gives Laura a smarmy smile and lowers her voice in a poor imitation of Ethan "-'Oooh, privacy huh? What do you need to be private about? Huuuh?' And don't deny it, you know he would have said some crap like that."

Ethan nods emphatically. "She's got a point there Puppy."

"Damn straight!" Mary exclaims before giving him a fist bump.

"You two feed into each other in the worst possible ways," Laura groans, taking refuge in her drink while she and Ethan laugh.

"Have you done any house hunting yet?" he asks after a moment, "any idea where you wanna move?"

"I was thinking 'bout getting some nice place 'round Captain's Hill, but I might just get a penthouse around The Towers instead since it'd be closer to work."

"Oy oy, isn't that like, super expensive?" Ethan asks, making her shrug and smirk at him.

"Well, I am kinda rich y'know."

"So next round's on you then?"

"Not a chance in hell."

"C'mon, you literally just said you're rich!"

Mary gives him a signature look of scorn. "You're disgusting, taking advantage of your young, innocent co-worker to fuel your own alcoholism."

"Oy, you don't have to twist my words like that."

"You should show your sincerity by footing the next round."

"Oy, what is this?"

"It's called a hustle, Baby."

"I'm telling Piggot on you."

"I'll accuse you of sexual harassment."

"I'm taken."

"So?"

"...Puppy! I'm in danger!" Ethan yells, getting Laura's attention from where she was chatting with Indigo or whatever, but she hardly has the time to turn to him before he collapses onto her and hugs her close as if he's a kid that just had a nightmare.

But they are in a booth with Ethan sitting between Laura and Mary, so she just follows after him and also hugs Laura, 'coincidentally' trapping his face between their breasts.

"Laura! Save us!"

"What!?" She exclaims, jumping in her seat slightly in panic, not that she can get far with both of us grabbing her. "What the hell are you idiots talking about?!"

"Ethan was just saying how we should probably wrap the night up before we get left dealing with too bad of a hangover, but then a snake fell out of the ceiling and scared us but don't worry about that anymore someone ate it!" Mary quickly exclaims, cutting off whatever Ethan was going to say.

Then before either of them can speak up, Mary pulls Ethan back a bit and pushes up against him and cups her mouth over his ear so Laura can't hear her.

"Y'know how you used to be a Villain too?" She whispers, "surely you'll understand, from one former Villain to another, when I say that a Superhero threesome would be the best birthday present ever, right?"

Ethan visibly stiffens at her words, freezing as his mind pushes through the alcohol to think about her words.

He doesn't take long to come to his decision.

Abruptly sitting up, and pushing Mary back with the motion, Ethan lets out a clearly forced stretch and yawn combo. "Yeah, it's getting pretty late too," he says as he gets to his feet, Mary quickly joining him. "Say, Mary. Hannah's place is pretty far from here right?"

It isn't. "Yeah, it'll be a walk for sure."

"In that case, you might as well crash on our couch, since our place is just down the street."

"Makes sense. I'll text Hannah to let her know."

With them being completely on the same wavelength, Laura only finishes processing everything after we've already paid for the drinks and left the bar, but by then it's too late to back out.

It's not like she could just suddenly turn around and say "Wait never mind, fuck off back to your own house." That would be a complete breach of the social contract.

Plus they're all a little drunk, so critical thinking isn't exactly in their strengths right now.

Mary shoots off a quick text to Hannah saying that she's going to be having birthday sex and won't be back, even though it's not actually her birthday, before powering her phone off so she doesn't have to read the eventual reprimand that is likely already on its way.

Putting her phone away, she starts humming to herself as they make their way to the couple's house. 

She's somewhat surprised that the only incident on the way was some homeless dude high out of his mind trying, unsuccessfully, to mug them. It is Brockton after all, and they walked down six streets before reaching the home. Typically a night in Brockton has at least one crime being committed every two or three streets.

Must be quieter than usual since christmas is coming up.

Mentally shrugging, she follows after the couple into their home, vaguely getting the idea that Laura's forgotten that she's there with how lovey dovey the two of them are acting.

Though, she can recognise that that's probably mostly Ethan's fault rather than the booze. She's honestly impressed at his seductive prowess. She certainly wouldn't have expected it from him with how he usually acts, but then again, it probably shouldn't have been surprising.

Well whatever. Details shmetails, focus on the goal. Sex.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have much to do about that right now. Ethan needs to play the opening act and get Laura in the mood, something she emphasises by waving him to the bedroom when he looks at her.

He gives her a grin over Laura's shoulder, who still seems to be forgetting that she's there, and leads his girl to the place where adults play wresting together.

She'd make a joke about how that's what her parents used to say but, well...

Anyway. Having some free time until her cue to join the play, she decides to snoop about.

Naturally, her first destination is their kitchen, whereupon she finds one of Ethan's beers and starts sipping on it while looking through their cupboards. It doesn't take her long to find what she was looking for.

Putting the bottle down, she opens all of the other bottles and drinks a mouthful out of each before refilling them all with the hot sauce she found and using her super strength to seal the caps back on the bottles.

Why did she do this? No reason comes to mind. She's probably just getting impatient and this was the first thing that came to mind to pass the time.

Speaking of impatient, she can hear soft moans coming through the walls and decides that she's waited long enough.

Operation: 'Superhero Threesome' is now entering its most critical phase.

-A/N: Only Low Quality Smut Ahead-

This moment requires precision and carful acting in order to convince Laura while also seeming completely natural. With that in mind, she must proceed slowly and carefully.

Pushing open the door to their room, she is greeted the sight of Laura's sweaty, arching back as she rides Ethan into the bed, her soft brown hair rising and falling with her motions as she bounces on his dick while his hands squeeze her ass.

Smiling at the sight, she immediately forgets all thoughts of subtlety and barges into the room and rapidly divests herself of her clothes before jumping onto Laura's back, hugging the woman from behind with only her underwear still on.

Unsurprisingly, Laura yelps at the sudden weight on her back, but she doesn't give Laura any time to complain and swiftly starts groping the warm body in front of her. She squeezes a breast with one hand and trails the other down Laura's tones stomach to gently rub over the clit, all while sucking on her neck.

The combined assault causes Laura's words of protest to come out as an even louder moan as Laura rapidly approaches climax from the sudden and unexpected increase in pleasure.

She has to hold Laura up as the woman seemingly turns boneless, but even as Laura catches her breath, she doesn't stop massaging her body, enjoying the feel of Laura's soft but toned flesh.

Really, with the active lifestyle of a Hero, is it any surprise that they're all in such good shape? Whatever the reason though, she certainly isn't complaining.

With Laura catching her breath, she looks over her shoulder to lock eyes with Ethan and they both share a matching grin and subtly fist bump before she gives him a wink and gestures for him to keep going.

Laura's rested enough.

The woman in question shoots up and arches backwards with a wanton moan leaving her lips as Ethan abruptly picks the pace back up, no doubt enjoying the view in front of him. She doesn't blame him though. they're both beautiful, and her own sandy skin must make for one hell of a contrast to Laura's pale.

Another moan leaves Laura's lips before she becomes coherent enough to turn to face her, her expression a wonderful mix of confused, aroused, concerned and just generally blissful.

"M-mary! What aahgn~ you doiiing!~" She almost laughs at the barely stringed together sentence, but instead settles on responding with a pout.

"You can't blame me," she says as she swaps her hands around to give Laura's other tit some attention, "I was just feeling so left out~. If you two are gonna be having so much fun, then there's no reason I can't join in, right? It's not a bad thing, so just don't think to much and have fun~."

She decides not to give Laura a chance to counter her argument in the most efficient way possible; by locking their lips together in a passionate kiss.

Laura's protests die as Mary's tongue slips into her mouth, drowning the world out in a haze of pleasure.

A thin trail of saliva connects them as she breaks off the kiss, smirking at the unfocused look in Laura's eyes.

She spends a moment just enjoying the sight, peaking over Laura's shoulder and down at Ethan's sculpted muscles tensing and untensing as he ploughs up into Laura. Making eye contact with Ethan, she gives him a wink before turning her attention back to Laura.

The woman is very fit, with lightly toned limbs and a barely visible six pack that does nothing to show the true strength of her core. And with the light sheen of sweat making her skin glisten, Mary can't help but find the sight incredibly arousing.

Even if she's not the one getting all the attention right now, Laura's own pleasure might as well be contagious, as she feels herself getting wetter with every breathy moan that leaves the woman's mouth.

The haze of pleasure growing stronger, Mary rips off her underwear and grabs hold of one of Laura's hands, manoeuvring the limb down to her own dripping slit and pushing two fingers inside.

"Mmmm~," she quietly moans into Laura's ears, her breathy voice continuing, "it's rude to leave your guests unattended you know?~"

It doesn't take Laura long to match the pace she set, and Mary nearly collapses forward the fingers inside of her suddenly sparkle slightly, sending jolts of pleasure like lightning through her entire body.

And thus the benefits of a Superhero threesome reveal themselves, she thinks to herself while continuing to enjoy the new sensation.

But even as she's rapidly being brought to the brink, she doesn't stop toying with Laura. One hand mauls at her firm breasts, alternating between them, squeezing and pinching the nipples, drawing delightful little mewls from her victim every time. The other hand circles around the clit, mostly teasing it but still brushing over it frequently, making Laura visibly clench down on Ethan, something he seems to enjoy.

With so many points of pleasure assaulting her, it's no surprise when Laura rapidly approaches her second orgasm.

"I'm- uhnn c-cuUUUHHmming~!" Laura almost screams out, her entire body tensing, small sparks jumping off of her body.

Which has the unintended side effect of violently dragging Mary into her own orgasm as the fingers inside of her abruptly light up with just enough intensity to be overwhelming without being too painful, bringing her to the edge and unceremoniously kicking her over it in the same moment.

She has to bite down on Laura's shoulder to avoid waking up the neighbours as her entire body shakes from overstimulation, a climax so strong that for a moment she feels like she's high.

Not that she's ever done drugs or anything...

Coming down from her high, she notices that both her and Laura have slumped down on Ethan, who probably came with them if his own panting is any clue.

"H-holy shit, that was..." Laura breathes out after a moment, making her smile.

"Was?" She whispers, her grin growing when Laura stiffens under her. "I'm sure Ethan has one or two more goes left in him, and I'm feeling pretty left out again~."

Saying so, she straightens up, keeping one hand on Laura's back so she doesn't follow and grabs a hold of Laura's ass, pushing her forward until Ethan's cock slips out of her, giving Mary her first good view of it, and she's happy to be impressed.

"You two lovebirds should get to kissing, just pretend I'm not here~," she teases, stifling a laugh when Ethan rushes to obey, leaving Laura to just dumbly follow along and melt into the lewd kiss.

Ethan likes to call Laura puppy, but if she's like a lost puppy, then Ethan is an excitable puppy eager to please. Really, they are both just too cute together.

With that thought in her head, she grabs Ethan's slick shaft and positions herself over it before slowly lowering herself down. She takes the time to savour every moment as the thick rod slowly spreads her open, inch by inch until she feels the tip press against her deepest spot.

"Aaaahhhnn~," she moans out, both her hands mauling roughly against her own breasts as she swims in the filling feeling. She hasn't been having nearly as much sex as she'd have liked thanks to her probation, so she missed this feeling.

Coming back to the world, her grin returns at the sight of the two lovebirds groping about each other as they passionately duel their tongues. From their positioning, Laura's ass is rubbing against her front in such a way that she can't help but lament that she doesn't also have a penis, since this would be the perfect position to bottom out while being bottom outed into.

But since she's such a nice guest, she moves on from her own pleasure to enhance both of theirs. To that end, she takes a cue from Laura and starts to use her power for that extra supernatural good feeling.

With a careful use of her fire, she heats up her entire body. Not enough to be hot, but enough that her flesh is warm and comfortable to the touch, something that Ethan immediately seems to notice and enjoy if his low groan is anything to go by.

He might be used to a pussy that can spark, but she can turn her own into a furnace.

With a stupid grin still on her face, Mary starts moving her hips, bouncing lightly and rotating them to give Ethan as much stimulation as possible. At the same time, she brings her hands away from her breasts and down to Laura's ass, giving both cheeks a rough squeeze.

Happy with the moan she drew from Laura, she brings her supernaturally warm hands to Laura's most private spot.

Her stupid grin only grows when she sees how clean Laura's ass is. Clearly they like to do butt stuff every now and then.

Well, she isn't going to just ignore that.

Spreading Laura's cheeks, she reaches down to Laura's clit and drags a finger down and up, from the clit until she brushes over the sphincter, smirking at the reactions of Laura's body.

Without hesitating anymore, she pushes two fingers into Laura's dripping cunt and then immediately follows by slipping a single finger into her other hole, making Laura gasp out before her mouth is once again reclaimed by Ethan's lips.

Without showing any mercy, she adds another finger to both holes and starts rearranging Laura's insides in every way she can, her hot fingers making the older woman gasp and shudder with every movement, all the while she keeps bouncing on Ethan's cock, causing him to almost constantly be groaning into his girl's mouth.

Honestly, she's just incredibly proud that she can top two Superheroes at the same time and have them both writhing and mewling at her command. It's quite the intoxicating feeling of power.

It's probably that feeling, as well as the arousing sounds and sight before her more than the physical pleasure that brings her to the edge, though not before she can drag another orgasm out of both of her partners.

Unfortunately, she feels Ethan's hips buck and his dick slam into her deepest part right before she reaches that glorious crescendo. So as her partners both collapse into the bed and Ethan's warmth fills her insides, she has to quickly bring her hands back to herself, one pulling harshly on her nipples and the other furiously rubbing her clit for only a few moments before she joins them over the edge, gasping breathlessly as she too collapses into the pile.

Honestly, she could keep going, and would definitely prefer to, but it's clear that her partners don't have her sexual stamina, unfortunately.

Ah well, it was still very much an enjoyable evening. She can't wait to see how awkward they're both going to act in the morning.

It's with happy thoughts of teasing her friends that Mary gets back up and sets about cleaning them all up, seeing as they have both already fallen asleep. She doesn't really mind though and just wipes them all down minimally with some wipes she found before cuddling up to them under the covers.

She prefers using fellow women as body pillows, but at the same time Ethan would probably feel pretty good about waking up with a hot woman on each shoulder, so she arranges them with him in the middle.

And then, she finally drifts off to sleep, a contented smile on her lips.
