Justice Force - Part 3

The next day Power Princess made her move. She challenged Dave to a wrestling match.

Dave felt better about this bout, he had wrestled for three years in college. Power Princess, whose real name was Jackie Ellison, had a slight height advantage on Dave and her lovely brown arms were long and lean. Power Princess had become a crime fighter straight out of the police academy, accepting an invitation to join Justice Force at the same time Jade Dargon did. The career of her cousin, Avenger Girl, had inspired Jackie to battle criminals and she quickly proved her worth to the team by bringing down a number of what she called "badboys."

"I knock out a lot of men, Dave," Power Princes told her ooppnent as they circled each other on a large mat in the Justice Force HQ gymnasium. "A lot of them wake up in prison!"

"Oh yeah?" asked Dave. They drew closer, arms out ready to snap a hold on the other. Power Princess' eyes moved like liquid with every feint Dave made. Her barely detectable smile reminded Dave of a jaguar teasing her prey before leaping to the kill.

"But some of the men wake up in my bed..." whispered Power Princess when they were inches apart.

Dave felt a bolt of lightening strike his chin, causing him to stumble. His vision focused suddenly and he saw that Power Priness' extended elbow had just clocked him hard. Controlling his pain and anger, Dave thrust in low aiming for Jackie's midsection, pushing her past Atomic Girl, who was reffing the match. Atomic Girl called out encouragement to Dave and laughed out loud when he tripped, sending he and Power Princess to the mat.

The couple struggled with each other, a writhing mass of arms and legs fighting for the advantage. In the clinch, Power Princess came on to Dave a second time.

"You're liking this, Dave!" she murmured provactively in his right ear. "Jade Dragon said you liked to wrestle!"

"I sure do!" Dave responded, suddenly kicking his legs from under Power Princess's. Instantly sitting up, he grabbed the startled Power Princess by the shoulders, flipped her on her back and pushed her into a sitting position.

"What the fuc..." Power Princess shouted as Dave deftly twisted her around and hauled her body against his chest, locking his right arm under her chin and clasping the upper portion of his left arm. Standing a few feet away in Jackie's corner, Jade Dragon couldn't hide her laughter at the wide-eyed look of shock on Power Princess' face as Dave's left hand came to rest firmly on the top of the Princess' head.

The arms constricted around the girl's throat and she gasped sharply. Instantly, the lean brown limbs shot outward and scrabbled at Dave's face. He ignored the fingers sweeping around his head and pulled his sleeper hold tighter.

Power Princess felt the room lift beneath her. She fought back against the light headedness, but the sensation soaked her body. Power Princess widened her eyes and arched her back to stay conscious and escape Dave's hold. Then her lids began to droop and the lightneadedness turned to relaxation. Power Princess began to feel so happy.

Through the dark mist which filled her vision, Power Princess could make out her right hand landing on Dave's bare thigh. Ohhhkkkaaayyyy....she thought dreamily. The Princess knew she was going out, but the sleepy warmth that consumed her was very pleasant. Power Princess was glad it was Dave who was making her feel this way.

She relaxed into his arms and then sank into sleep.

Atomic Girl lifted her team mate's limp arm and it dropped lifelessly on the mat.

"Okay, Dave, let her go," Atomic Girl ordered, secretly pleased.

Dave undid his arms and gently rested the unconscious Power Princess on her back. "One! Two! Three!" Atomic Girl called out as Dave pinned his defeated opponent. Then Atomic Girl lifted Dave's hand in victory.
