Ellana's Cultural Studies on Humanity Chapter 42 :- On Halloween and Trick or Treating

Stormtrooper1990 · Post by **Stormtrooper1990** » Tue Aug 13, 2024 8:25 am

Following our adventures against the Rizzo syndicate and Nikki's training session, I had taken just over a month's rest orbiting the Earth getting everything down that I had learned in the last few months. On the whole I was pleased with with the rapid progress I had made over the past year, and grateful to Nikki for being my Lifemate. We kept in touch via the communicator I had gifted her, although it was becoming less frequent due to Nikki's duties as a NYPD officer. I found myself missing her greatly, like one would miss a limb or a part of their soul. I found myself pining for her company and ready to set foot on Earth once more. My opportunity would come as I was finishing my first draft of my adventures. I would discover the curious human festival called Halloween, with Nikki at my side. Little did I know just how much fun we would have...

Wednesday 30th October 2024 18:26pm GMT Ellana's Chambers, The Zephyr, Deck 2, Earth Low Orbit

"Take my hand we'll make it I swear! Woo hoo! Living on a prayer!" Ellana sang at the top of her lungs as she made the finishing touches on the first draft of the mafia saga. She was sitting in her study on board the Zephyr, listening to 'Living on Prayer' thanks to her hacking into one of Earth's digital stations. The sound of pressurised air escaping preceded Kremm who was wincing under his helmet. "Is this what passes for music down on Earth? It's unbearable! Turn it down, please Highness. I can't concentrate on my sword drills." Pressing the 'save' button on her holo interface she turned down the receiver. "Sorry Kremm. This is Nikki's favourite artist, a man called 'Bon Jovi' we listened to it together once. Granted most Earth music doesn't even compare to our music back home, but I find human rock to be so... invigorating for a lack of a better word." Taking a seat opposite her, Kremm bowed his head. " Forgive my Impertinence, princess. it stands to reason she being your lifemate that some of her begins to rub off on you." Leaning back into her chair, Ellana sighed. " I miss her, Kremm. Since the hospital and the training sim I feel closer to her than ever before. But after what I said to her about love. I'am afraid I may have pushed her away." She said wistfully. Kremm shook his head. "Nikki is a smart human. I'am sure she knows how much you care for her. Besides, I miss her too. She does grow on you and I find myself wondering about her too. If it's not bold, highness. Why don't you call her? "Catch up" as the humans say." Ellana grinned but before she could answer, the voice from the radio bleared out. "That was Bon Jovi with Living on a Prayer. Now the results are in for the top ten scary movies as voted for by New Yorkers, to mark the Halloween season. It seems Jason was picked at the post by Michael Myers..." Ellana's brow furrowed. " What's this Halloween? Some sort of human festival? It sounds intriguing." Kremm shrugged his massive shoulders. "Why don't you ask Nikki?" Switching off the radio, Ellana picked up her communicator rose from her chair before giving her erstwhile bodyguard a hug before leaving the room.

15th Precinct Gym 13:30pm EST New York City

Oh please! What's wrong with people? Why is Nightmare on Elm Street 4th and has nobody seen Scream? I wonder what Ellie would make of this? I miss her so much... Nikki thought , listening to the radio as she worked up a sweat, taking out her frustration on an innocent punching bag. She had just come off an early morning shift, 05:00am till 13:00 pm and while most officers would be heading home to hit the sack, Nikki wanted to work on her jab following her recent run of good form in the ring. It also helped that she had an audience, a very pretty audience. Nikki could feel the eyes of Liv Brannigan admiring her curves and toned body, slick with sweat through her loose NYPD vest and shorts. She's the new girl. Only just started a couple of weeks ago in the Crime Lab as one of the new CSI's. I had been meaning to introduce myself, chat her up maybe get her number if I'am lucky. But with the recent shifts I have been pulling, I haven't found the time. Well, if Ellie were here she would tell me to go for it. I mean she's very cute with that goth thing she as going and those tattoos... Pausing her training, Nikki looked up at Liv who flashed her a cheeky wink and smile. She was a striking girl with angular features, high cheekbones and bright blue eyes emphasised by dark makeup, framed by shoulder length dyed purple hair. Nikki could see a tattoo on her neck of a rising bird in flight and was pretty sure she had others somewhere on her slim attractive body. Nikki returned the gestures but before she could walk on over she heard the chime of Ellana's communicator from her gym bag, sighing she flashed Liv an apologetic look which was returned with a grin as she walked away, Nikki returned her gaze as she took off her boxing gloves, liking what she saw. Has Nikki turned to answer the call, she could still feel Liv's eyes on her ass. Smiling, she flicked open the communicator putting to her ear.

"Ellie! It's great to hear from you. I have missed you babe." Nikki grinned as she answered the communicator. "Nikki, my dear. It's been far too long. I have missed you too and I want you to know I love you very much." Nikki giggled at her words. "Love too you, honey. So what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" Ellana took a deep breath. "Can you tell me about Halloween? I heard it over the radio and I'am intrigued." Nikki smiled as she sat down on the bench. "Only my favourite holiday of the year! It's where we humans dress up in scary costumes, knock on doors and collect sweets to appease ghosts." Ellana let out breath of awe."That's sounds like so much fun. Would you be able to meet up to help me choose a costume? I would love to do it with you." Nikki lowered her voice as a pair of officers walked past her. "So you're not going to to steal one off a poor girl, right? You feeling okay, Ellana?" She whispered jokingly. Ellana chuckled. "Don't worry, I will behave myself. Promise." Nikki shook her head smiling. "Oh I have heard this before. After you leave at least three women naked. Alright, where are you?" Ellana laughed before answering. "I'am on the Zephyr but I can land near your apartment and meet you there?" Nikki nodded. "Okay, sounds good. See you in an hour babe." Bading Ellie farewell, Nikki chuckled to herself making her way to the showers.

Alley off West 102nd Street, Manhattan Valley 14:15pm

Now dressed in a form fitting tactical catsuit, Ellana sat perched on a rooftop the Zephyr cloaked behind her. She scanned the alley below waiting for a suitable human female to enter alone. After five minutes she spotted a young woman enter the alley, too distracted by her phone. Using the fire escape, Ellana descended for a closer look. She was a pretty little thing, with gentle rounded features slender cheekbones and big brown eyes framed by long ash blonde hair. Her slender petite form hugged by a tan fur lined hugged parka with a white Taylor Swift T-shirt underneath, tight skinny belted blue jeans and fur lined tan ugg boots. Her small ears were pierced and there was a hint of a silver necklace under her top. Ellana grinned. How I have missed this! Time to get back into the saddle as Nikki says. With the agility of a bearcat, Ellana dropped into the alley from the fire escape in a crouch right behind the unsuspecting girl who wasn't paying attention to her surroundings as she approached a dumpster.

I can't decide between Serenni's Vacation to Mistula or Keep on Changing! Both are really ace! Amelia Todd thought leaning against the dumpster flicking through her playlist. Nah! Who was I kidding? Keep on changing! Way more catchy. What?! Amelia panicked as a slender hand clamp around her mouth, muffling her cry of surprise and knocking her smartphone from her hands. "You really shouldn't distract yourself with such things, dear. For the record I prefer Serenni's Vacation to Mistula ." Hissed a strange accent in her ear who grasped her slender throat, pinching the vulnerable points either side. Amelia's whimpers were ceased by a muffled pained squeak slumping unconscious in her attackers grasp, arms dangling limply. As her eyes rolled into the back of her head, she felt the sensation of being dragged behind the dumpster.

Propping up the unconscious girl against the dumpster, Ellana unzipped her catsuit dropping it to the pavement before kneeling beside her. Taking her into her arms, she assumed her form with a passionate embrace slipping the coat from her shoulders. "Amelia Todd, 20, English Literature Student, Columbia University. She was at Glastonbury this summer to see 'Taylor Swift' or rather me headline. She and her girlfriend, Claire, are super crazy Taylor Swift fans. She has been studying for two years and is quite homesick. Although she often goes back home during her breaks to see her family." Inserting in Amelia's studs, Ellana pulled off the girls boots along with her bright pink ankle socks. Hoisting the students arms high, she pulled off her t-shirt over her head then reached around to unclasp Amelia's bright pink t-shirt bra, admiring her cute slightly pointed A-cup breasts with puffy full pink areolas. Clipping on the girls bra, Ellana took out her navel piercing and yanked off her pendant putting them on. After unbelting Amelia's jeans, she whipped them off her slender hips down her long legs before peeling her matching g-string thong from between her thighs, exposing a small clean shaven clitoris. After pulling up the stolen underwear, Ellana quickly got dressed in the students clothes shucking on the comfy jacket. Taking the petite naked girl by her ankles, Ellana dragged her over to the dumpster tipping her inside along with her catsuit. Picking up the girl's phone, Ellana scoffed. "Ugh! Taylor Swift?! Do yourself a favour girl and listen to some Bon Jovi instead." She quipped tossing the phone into the dumpster as she swept from the alley.

Nikki's Apartment West 104th Street 14:25pm

Ellana knocked twice on Nikki's door, surprised was she was greeted by a pretty new face. A girl with gentle freckled features, bright green eyes and auburn hair tied into a ponytail. "Yes? Are you here to see Nikki?" She asked, as Ellana flashed her a smile. "It's alright, Jenny. She's a friend of mine. Let her in will you? I'am just getting dressed." Stepping aside Jenny let her in. "So are you a friend of Nikki's. Or a friend ?" Ellana cocked her head at the curious remark. "We are not involved in hormonally driven courtship behaviour, if that's what your implying." Jenny was taken aback as Nikki emerged from her room, dressed in the same tank top Ellana had acquired for her. "Ellie! Good to see you, girl." She cried embracing the Zenobian in a huge bug. Over their shoulders, Jenny shook her head. "Er, Nikki? Your friend is freaking me out." Pulling out of the hug Nikki turned to her. "Ellie's like that with most people, she studies biology at NYU and just loves to talk in science speak. But if you get past her quirks and get to know her, she's a great friend." After sharing a smile with her Lifemate, Ellana winked at the roommate. "We have a platonic symbiosis." Jenny raised her eyebrows. "Riiiight. So I'am going to the store. Have...er...fun, see you around Ellie." She said before turning on her heels, walking out the front door.

"Just for the record, Ellie. Are you wearing a student?" Ellana grinned. "Mhm, a Ms Amelia Todd a British student at Columbia University." Nikki looked her up and down appreciatively. "Damn, I love that accent on a girl. You chose well. I hope she's okay." Ellana nodded. "I gave her a little pinch and she's sleeping in a dumpster. So you have a new roommate, Nik? She seems... nosy. Not much of an improvement on Alison." Nikki nodded as she turned walking back to her room. "Tell me about it. I always seem to attract the crazy but hot ones. I swear she's one bad day away from becoming Single White Female." Ellana cocked her head in confusion. "What's that? Another of your Earth idioms?" From her bedroom, Nikki chuckled. "I'll tell you later. Just promise me one thing, Ellana? Should you replace her, don't leave her in her closet naked so she falls on me okay?" They both burst out laughing. "Well, I will be just a few more minutes so make yourself at home." Nikki said as they still laughed. Still chuckling, Ellana made her way to the kitchen seeing a curious silver pen on her coffee table.

Alley off West 102nd Street Same Moment

"Three weeks she's spent laying low in space and now she decides to return, thoughts?" Said Agent L as she, M and P looked at the young naked blonde girl being stretched away by MiB medical, her modesty covered by a patient bib. The Task Force had been alerted by the MiBs satellite's of Ellana's return but remained in the dark as to her motives. After recieving silence, L shook her head. "Well at least tell me who the vic is?" She gestured to the girl being loaded in the back of a MiB truck. P nodded his head in her direction. " A Ms Amelia Todd, 20, a student from Columbia University according to K's scanner. But the bad news is Ellana left her phone." He said holding up an evidence bag with a shattered phone inside. L pinched her nose sighing. "She's never done that before. So what you're trying to tell us is we have no idea where she is or what she's up to?" Next to her M held up her hand. "Boss. I think we are overlooking that Ellana is back in New York for one reason. Nikki." "Excuse me agents?" They turned to see Agent K leaning out the van. "We have got a hit on that bug in Sanderson's apartment. Ellana's there right now and their talking. Live!" Grinning the other agents filed into the van, quickly throwing on earphones.

Nikki's Apartment

"Have you got any ice cream, Nik? I feel a craving coming on." Ellana asked as she approached the table. "I have some vanilla Ben & Jerry's in the fridge, just for you Ellie. I know how much of an ice cream junkie you are babe." Nikki replied from her room. Picking up the shiny silver pen, Ellana started to fiddle with it. Tossing it into the air she deftly caught it but heard a snapping sound as she gripped it. Looking a little embarrassed, she replaced the broken pieces on the table. Looking around she noticed Nikki had left her room, dressed in the red leather jacket she stole for her. "You know we have an Ice Cream Museum, right here on Broadway. Sounds right up your alley, Ellie." Ellana eyes widened. "Ice Cream Museum?! How come you never told me about that before? It sounds fun!" The Zenobian said beaming. Nikki flashed her a wan smile. "You never asked. I haven't been there since I was a kid though. I will have to take you there sometime. You'll love it." Ellana reached in giving her Lifemate a hug.

Task Force Ellana Tech Van

K winced as she heard a sharp crackle through her earphones. "That's strange I'am getting some interference but I definitely heard "Ice Cream Museum, Broadway." That sounds like a place our girl would visit." L put down her headphones turning to P. "You know how much she loves her Ice Cream, Paddy?" The ginger haired agent grinned. "She can't get enough of the stuff. It's a wonder she doesn't get brain freeze." Nodding L set down her headphones snapping her fingers. "Alright, TFE. Let's get down to the Ice Cream Museum. If we can get there first than we can catch her before she does any real damage. M..." She glanced at her young partner. "Yes, Boss?" "Get a couple of agents to keep an eye on Sanderson." Nodding, M took out her communicator. Sat at their stations, N shrugged at K as she switched off the microphone. "Huh, honestly I thought she would be more interested in Halloween."

Nikki's Apartment 14:32pm

Pulling out of the hug, Nikki glanced at the broken pen on her coffee table. Ellana flashed her an apologetic look. "Sorry Nikki, I broke your pen. You know how clumsy I can be." Shaking her head, Nikki reached down for the broken halves examining them. "Strange, I don't recognise this pen. What the hell...?" Her voice trailed off as she noticed a small microphone tumble out. "Those black suited assholes! It's a bug. They have been spying on us the whole time!" Walking up to the window, Ellana smiled as she noticed the TFE van across the street drive away. "Ha! Those fools think I'am going to that Ice Cream Museum. But it looks like they left us a couple of friends, look." Nikki glanced out the the window to see two black suits, a man and woman enter the building. "They probably know what you look like as well. You will need a new look. You remember my neighbour, Joanne? She's in at the moment..." Ellana grinned following her train of thought. "I will be right back, Nikki." She said kissing her friend on the cheek as she left the apartment.

The Apartment of Joanne Nicholson

Joanne Nicholson smiled as she zipped up her navy blue Nike tracksuit top which matched her bottoms with white Nike sneakers on her feet, underwhich she wore a cropped white tank top. Glancing at her mirror she liked what she saw. Her aquiline features, slender features, big emerald eyes and long auburn hair tied into a long ponytail were a hit with both her boyfriend and much to Joanne's annoyance, her neighbour Nikki. I know she's a cop and everything but I still don't like those looks she gives me. Pretty girl like her, you would expect her to land someone by now... A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. Shrugging she walked out of her bedroom out into the hall. When she opened her front door, she was greeted by young pretty blonde girl wearing a cropped tanned parka who looked distressed. "Please, ma'am. Could I use your phone? My smartphone died and I need to call my mom. She's in hospital about to have an urgent operation!" The girl said, tears of worry in her eyes. Joanne flashed her a sympathetic look. "Oh my god! I'am so sorry, honey! Sure come in use my phone." As the girl came through, Joanne turned her back to close her door. "Just what is your mom in hospit-ugh!!?" She let out a pained yelp as she felt a blow to the side of her neck, rendering her instantly unconscious. "Hi Joanne, long time no see." Quipped Ellana catching the falling woman under her shoulders. "Let's get reacquainted, shall we?" She whispered into her ear, dragging her to her bedroom.

Laying the unconscious woman onto her bed, Ellana stripped off the clothing she took from Amelia Todd then straddling Joanne she planted a kiss on the neighbours soft lips, unzipping her tracksuit top. "Joanne Nicholson, 23, Personal Trainer and Nikki's Neighbour. She was told a few weeks ago by a strange guy in a black suit that she would be better off moving apartments, that it may be better for her health. He even gave her a number for a good realtor. She's keeping her options open. I wonder if this guy was ginger..." Ellana pondered as she worked loose Joanne's ponytail, adopting it before unlacing her sneakers pulling them off along with her white ankle socks. After slipping off the tracksuit top, Ellana hoisted Joanne into a seated position holding up her arms sliding up her tank top over her head then reaching around her back, unclipped her white sports bra letting the half naked woman flop back onto the bed. Admiring the small but buoyant B-cup breasts of Joanne, with her perky rose petal pink areolas Ellana clipped on the sports bra before unlacing her tracksuit bottoms, whipping them down her long legs followed by her matching thong from between her thighs revealing a full clit crowned with a trimmed fan of auburn pubic hair. Once she was dressed in Joanne's clothes, Ellana tore up the Taylor Swift t-shirt binding and gagging the naked athletic woman. Dragging Nikki's neighbour off the bed by her ankles, Ellana stashed her inside her closet. Picking up the girls apartment keys, Ellana locked it up behind her.

Outside Nikki's Apartment 14:37pm

Hearing a second knock at her door, Nikki answered to come face to face with her neighbour Joanne who flashed her a knowing wink. "Looking good, Ellie. I assume you took Joanne down gently." She smiled locking up her apartment. Ellana nodded falling into step beside Nikki. "She's sleeping off a little headache in her closet. So where are we going?" They glanced at the two MiB agents who weren't doing a very good job at being inconspicuous, loitering by the staircase. The two barely gave them a glance as they walked down the stairs. Nikki turned to Ellana once they were out of earshot. "A little costume shop on West 92nd Street, off Broadway. It's where I got my Halloween costume last year." Ellana smiled as they approached Nikki's white Toyota Auris. "You have a costume? Could I see you in it later?" Nikki giggled as they got into her car. "Not until tomorrow night, babe. Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. Besides I haven't worn it in a year and I've put on a little muscle definition since then. I did make out with a girl dressed as Catwoman though at a Halloween party, good times." Ellana buckled on her seatbelt as Nikki switched on the engine. "I would like to attend one of these Halloween parties with you, sounds like fun." Nikki laughed pulling out. "It's a date, babe."

All Dressed Up! Costume Shop West 92nd Street and Broadway 14:55pm

"Here we are, Ellie. All Dressed Up! What do you think?" Nikki asked as she lead Ellana through the shops single blue door, the bell above tinkling above them. "It's got quite a good selection, I look forward to trying them all on!" She replied looking around, the store strangely deserted save for a pretty young goth girl behind the counter who flashed the both of them appreciative smiles. "Hi! Welcome to All Dressed Up! I'am Roxanne, can I help you?" Ellana appraised the girl, she was very strikingly beautiful with heart shaped features, high cheekbones and pleasing turquoise almond shaped eyes emphasised by her dark make up. Her spiky short hair dyed blue. She was dressed in a black leather jacket, matching tight leather trousers held up by a studded leather belt with laced platform boots. Under her jacket was a black t-shirt with a cartoon devil above the legend "The Devil Made Me Do It." Gracing her slender neck was a studded leather choker and a collection of piercings on her ears, along with a cute nasal piercing. She's quite comely. I might fancy wearing that face and those clothes but I could make Nikki mad. Nikki flashed her a smile. "It's okay. We getting ready for Halloween, helping my friend here pick an outfit." Roxanne winked at them. "Well, have fun. There are changing rooms in the back and if need anything just holler." She smiled before returning to her magazine. Rubbing her hands with excitement, Ellana turned to Nikki. "Here's where the fun begins."

An hour later

Much to Nikki's amusement, Ellana had decided to try what seemed like the stores entire inventory passing over Wonder Woman costumes, Witch outfits and zombie cheerleaders until she decided on a hooded black cloak with a goofy looking white mask twisted into what passed for scary for humans. Nikki nodded her head impressed. "Ghostface, good choice." Ellana flashed her a curious look. "What's a Ghostface?" She asked as Nikki chuckled. "It was made famous by the horror series Scream from the nineties. Don't bother with the Netflix series, it's crap by the way. I had a crush on Neve Campbell growing up, that's when I realised I was into girls too." Ellana nodded. "So what's the synopsis? Does he scream at people wearing this?" Nikki chuckled. "Heh, not at all. Basically, a couple of crazy guys dress up in this get up and stab a few high schoolers to death." Ellana shook her head unimpressed. "That's it? Sounds more like a thriller than a horror. Trust me Nikki, you haven't lived until you've experienced a Zenobian horror sim. Dark Stars is a particular favourite of mine, really scary." Nikki winked at her. "Alright you're on. But on one condition. You watch Scream with me tonight, deal?" Ellana returned the wink. "You've got a deal." Nikki grinned. "Right. Looks like were all set." She said as they turned towards the counter.

"Your neighbour didn't have much money on her when I became her." Ellana said as they approached the counter. Nikki flashed her a wink taking out a thin plastic card. "That's not a problem, Ellie. You see there are more ways to buy something than just using money. Watch and learn." Flashing Roxanne a grin Nikki handed the ghostface costume to the girl. "That will be $25 and 99 cents please?" Placing her card into the PIN reader on the counter Nikki dialled in her PIN. Her brow furrowing when the little device bleeped red, the word DECLINED flashed on the readout. "There could be just a little dust on the chip, sorry." Roxanne flashed her a sympathetic luck as Nikki rubbed the card before putting it back into the reader, once again getting the same result. "That's strange it worked yesterday." She said blushing bright red. Losing patience, Ellana grabbed the girl by her choker yanking her over with a surprised squeak planting a kiss on the young girls lips. Roxanne Hart, 19, Costume Shop Store Clerk. Thanks to her employee discount she already as her suit picked out. It's a gothic vampiress outfit. Her favourite movie is Interview with the Vampire. Nikki put her hands over her hand in frustration as she watched her friend slowly assume the form of Roxanne, who was returning the kiss with passion. Then the clerk let out a muffled moan of arousal, Ellana gently lowering her to the counter unconscious. "What are you doing Ellie?! It would have worked!" The Zenobian shrugged. "I fancied a change of clothes and you were taking too long. Besides this way, you don't lose any money." She said before hopping the counter dragging the unconscious girl to the floor with her belt. "Your impossible! I can't take you anywhere!" Nikki shouted putting her card into the reader, sighing as it came up green. "Figures, damn card always was temperamental. I will keep watch while you strip her." Retrieving her card, Nikki walked over to the door, flipping the closed sign and locking it.

Shedding Joanne's clothes Ellana removed her choker and piercings putting them on herself. "You're putting on her piercings, Ellie? Isn't that a little...unhygienic like taking her underwear?" Asked Nikki from her position by the door. "Her jewellery is part of the disguise, I won't blend in without it Nik." Ellana replied unlacing Roxanne's platform boots, pulling them off her feet along with her black socks. Nikki nodded unconvinced. "Aren't you afraid of catching some some infection?" Shaking her head, Ellana propped the clerk against the counter sliding her shirt up over her head then removing her navel piercing, inserting it in her own. "Don't worry, Nikki. We Zenobians have hardy immune systems. I have spent a year on this beautiful world and haven't been ill once." Nikki smiled admiring the girls small but firm B-cup breasts with puffy dark pink circular areolas. Putting her hands under the half naked Roxanne's shoulders, Ellana draped the girl over the counter on her belly unbelting her leather pants working them off her slender hips, down her long legs before whipping off a black with red trim g-string thong with red devil faces on the gusset. "Cute panties." Nikki chuckled despite herself as they both took in the sight of Roxanne's bare plum shaped buttocks and clean shaven vagina. After Ellana had gotten dressed in Roxanne's clothes, Nikki assisted her in binding and gagging the petite naked store clerk with torn strips from Joanne's tank top, stashing her body in one of the changing rooms.

Tucking the costume under her arm, Ellana locked up the store before joining Nikki at her car. "Well I know one thing, Ellie. The next time I go shopping with you, I'am going to have to bring some duct tape." She said as they got back into her car. Ellana rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't mean to put you in a tight spot." Nikki flashed her a smile. "Don't worry about it, babe. Ohh, I wonder how our friends are doing at the the Ice Cream Museum?" She switched on the ignition, Ellana buckled up. "With luck they've got themselves arrested." They both burst laughing as Nikki pulled out onto the road.

Outside the Museum of Ice Cream, 558 Broadway, One Hour Earlier

"I don't know boss. Something seems off." M said as they stood across the street from the museum noting that few people were entering. L sighed shaking her head. "Is this more of your negative waves, Martha? Our girl loves Ice Cream, it's makes sense that she would come here eventually. Actually, I'am surprised she didn't come here sooner." M looked up at the white façade. "That's just it. It's seems too obvious-ow boss?!" She cried as L clipped her upside the head. "A leads a lead, rookie. No matter how slim, let's get in there." Rubbing her head, M sighed following her boss into a small alley between the Museum and ALDO Shoe Shop.

As they silently creeped up the darkened alley, the agents heard a couple of young female voices ahead of them. Signalling M to take cover behind her near a dumpster, L peered around the dumpster. It was two young museum employees with their backs to them, chatting away while they smoked one was even playing on her smartphone, leaning against a dumpster. They were both attractive girls, the one closest to L was an African American girl with squared features, big brown eyes framed by shoulder length jet black hair under her white baseball cap while the other had slender features, light blue eyes and honey blonde hair tied into a ponytail looped through her baseball ball cap. They were both dressed in pink short sleeve shirts, with "Museum of Ice Cream" stitched on the left breast nametag on the right. The black girl was wearing blue jeans and white sneakers, while the blonde had black denim jeans with matching converse sneakers. "I will take the black girl, she's near my size. M, blondies all yours." M did a double take as she saw the shirts. "Pink? Seriously boss? Do I have to wear pink-ow." She flinched as L slapped her head. "It could be much worse. They could have been wearing dresses." She joked as they snuck up on the unsuspecting girls.

"So have you got your costume picked out, Ashlynn?" Asked ebony skinned Bernice Foster as she took a long drag from her cigarette, next to her Ashlynn Lose showed her a image on her phone. "A sexy cheerleader, Bernie. The boys will be all over me tonight, hun." Bernice nodded appreciatively before handing back the phone. "Very nice, Ash. I have my Cleopatra outfit all set, take a look." Taking out her phone she showed Ashlynn, blowing out a steady stream of blue smoke. "Man, I can't wait for our shift to be over. It's been such a slow day." Ash said taking her own drag. "Tell me about it, Ash. Who's going to be visiting an ice cream museum in the fa-agh!!" The two girls suddenly felt arms shaking around their slender necks, cutting off the blood supplies to their brains their phones and cigarettes tumbling to the pavement. Then feeling hands on the back of their heads pressing forwards, the girls let out strangled moans slumping unconscious into their attackers arms as they were dragged around the dumpster.

"God damn it, boss! I look like a stick of cotton candy!" Cried M as she pulled on Ashlynn's baseball cap standing over the cable tied, scantily clad form of the real Ashlynn, her slim form clad only in her matching solid blue pastel bra and matching tanga thong. "Will you quit your bellyaching, M? Come on, we've stolen worse than this." L replied pulling up Bernice's jeans, taking a deep breath fastening them up looking down at the underwear clad bound and gagged girl, her fuller figure emphasised by a white lace trim camisole and matching panties tying on her too small sneakers. Once they were fully dressed, the agents dragged the unconscious girls by their ankles stashing them inside the dumpster. Sparing another glance at the girls, M sighed. "Sorry, ladies..." She said before closing the lid on them, falling into step beside L as they entered the Museum through the service door.

The Museum of Ice Cream 15:05pm

"My god this place is even worse inside. I think I'am getting a headache." Said M as they glanced over the pink walls and multicoloured optical illusion that looked like a tunnel. L nodded. "I think assault on the eyes doesn't do this place this justice. Come on, rookie. The sooner we find her, the sooner we can be out of this nightmare." M sighed leaning in. "And how do we propose to do that, boss? She could be any woman." She whispered, L flashed her small smile. "How long have we been at this, rook? We spot the clumsy one of course. The tried and true Ellana detection method." M suddenly coughed something that sounded like "Delhi." The veteran agent spun around. "You say something, M?" She narrowed her eyes. "Nothing boss, just something in my throat is all." L just shook her head before they began scanning the crowd, keeping their eyes peeled for signs of Ellana.

An hour later

After nearly an hour of fruitless surveilling the agents, having to pose as employees who didn't know much about ice cream thought they had finally got their girl. They noticed a young pretty Asian employee, the name on her shirt reading "Cindy" leading a tour group. Too engrossed in her job, Cindy then tripped over a stair sending herself careening into a display of strawberry flavour ice cream sending the stuff all over the floor and herself. "That's her!" L cried charging into the fray, M by her side. "Whoa! Shit!" She swore slipping on the ice-cream, grabbing a handful of L's shirt pulling her down with her. The crowd drew shocked gasps as they saw the three women completely covered in strawberry ice cream. L tried to make a grab for Cindy but the young woman managed to squirm away. "Help me! She's trying to attack me!" That was then L's communicator rang in her jeans pocket. "Now's not the time, P. We've almost got her!" She answered picking an ice covered M from the ground. "Really, Linda? Because I have news for you. On a hunch we tailed Nikki on CCTV after the agents you posted saw her leave with her roommate. We've just found a CCTV recording at a Costume Shop on Broadway. Nikki with her "roommate" buying a ghostface outfit, only they got the five finger discount since Ellana replaced the store clerk. You need to get out of there." That's when the manager, a harried looking balding man wearing a suit approached them being lead by a distraught Cindy. "Are you all righ-Wait a second?" He said eyeing up their name tags. " You're not Ashlynn or Bernice! Security!" Has two security guards walked over, M confidently reached into her jeans pocket pulling out air. Sighing L cuffed her upside the head before speaking back into her communicator. "P you better get in here and quick!" Was all she could manage before the guards restrained the both of them.

Enroute to Nikki's Apartment 16:20pm

"I have been thinking, Ellie. We may have to call a raincheck on movie night, those two MiB agents saw us leave and probably called it in." Nikki said as they drove down Amsterdam Avenue. Ellana sighed leaning back into her seat. "A rain check? What a curious expression, it doesn't sound good." Nikki nodded. "Yep, it means leave it for another day." The Zenobian shook her head. "That's a shame, I was looking forward to watching this Scream with you." Nikki flashed her a sympathetic smile. "It doesn't change our plans for Halloween, don't worry. I will drop you off at the Zephyr so you can lay low. Then tomorrow evening, call at my place around seven in the evening. I will have my costume ready to go and we can get to trick or treating, perhaps catch a party." Ellana giggled in anticipation. "That sounds like fun, looking forward to it." After 5 minutes they had found West 102nd Street. "Thanks Nikki, I'am sorry about the store clerk." She said hugging her Lifemate. "Don't worry Ellie, I'am sure she'll be fine. Just took me by surprise is all." Returning the hug, Nikki kissed her on the cheek. "See you tomorrow, Nik." Ellana got out of the car flashing her a wave, as she drove off before climbing the fire escape back up to the roof.

Outside Nikki's Apartment Thursday 31st October Halloween 18:58pm

Knocking on Nikki's door dressed in her ghostface outfit still wearing the face of Roxanne Hart, Ellana was greeted by the sight of Jenny dressed in a McDonald's uniform who jumped when with fright at the sight of her costume. "Jesus-H-Christ! Don't do that, you startled me! Is that you, Ellie?" She asked as Ellana nodded. "Nikki! It's your friend Ellie, all set for Halloween!" She yelled back into the apartment. "Alright, Jenny. Let her in, I'am just making the finishing touches to my costume." Jenny turned back to Ellana. "Well have fun you two and don't keep her up late, Ellie. She's got work in the morning. See ya." She said letting her in before walking out, closing the door behind her. Ellana turned to see Nikki emerge from her room, dressed in a bat girl outfit. "Well, what do you think?" She beamed Ellana scanning her body through the tight lycra. "It really brings out your amazing figure. I once saw a similar outfit but it was for a male, at the Comic Con." Nikki giggled under her mask, biting her lip. "Too bad that outfit hides yours, babe." She flirted. "Honestly, I'am glad it still fits. I had a crush on Barbara Gordon since I read the comic books." They both laughed before clasping hands. "Let's go, Nikki. I have been looking forward to this all day, lead on." Hand in hand, they swept from the apartment picking up jack-o'-lantern buckets.

Columbus Avenue The Same Moment

Now sat in their sedan, in crisp fresh black suits and relatively ice cream free, Agents L & M scanned the costume clad crowds. "Remember, Rookie. We are looking for a ghostface costume." M rolled her eyes, sighing deeply as she gazed out the window. "Yeah, her and 90% of New York at Halloween. We don't even know what Nikki is dressed as. Looking for Ellana in this mess will be like looking for a needle in a stack of needles-ow!!" Shaking her head, L clipped her upside her head. "I swear you and those negative waves, M? We just have to wait until she shows herself." Rubbing her head petulantly, M lent back in her seat as they continued their stakeout.

Amsterdam Avenue 20:00pm

Having parked the car a little further down Amsterdam Adventure, Nikki and Ellana had spent the past hour going door to door collecting a bumper hoard of candy while enjoying the brisk evening air. "Ah, Nikki. It feels wonderful to do something fun together." Ellana said her voice slightly muffled by her mask, but underneath she was smiling. Nikki chuckled in reply, holding her hand. "You mean when we aren't infiltrating Mafia Villa's, getting shot at or hunted by assassins? It does feel great and I'am glad your here with me." Ellana fidgeted under her costume fanning herself with her hand. "I'am stuffy under this outfit and I can barely see out of this mask." Nikki flashed her a wink. "I told you that you should've gotten the Wonder Woman outfit, babe." Looking around she noticed a young girl standing by an alley, texting on her phone. She was pretty with diamond shaped features, high cheekbones and pale green eyes framed by long curly brown hair under a black pointed witches hat with cobweb detailing. She wore a matching short little black dress with white lace frilly time and tails, fishnet tights and black high heels. Ellana grinned under her mask. "Excuse me, Nikki but I'am going for an upgrade." She said approaching the girl. "No, Ellie! Wait, damn it!" Nikki swore trailing after her.

Kinzie Harrington looked up from her phone to see batgirl and ghostface staring up at her. "Er, hi." Batgirl looked a little nervous but ghostface merely cocked their head . "I really like your outfit. But I think it will look better on me." Said the muffled female voice menacingly raising her right hand like a blade. Kinzie reared back in fear. "What-ugh?!!" She let out a tiny pained squeak as she was instantly knocked unconscious by the blow to the side of a neck, dropping her phone to the pavement. "Oh boy..." Nikki facepalmed as Ellana caught the girls weight under her shoulders, dragging her into the waiting darkened alley.

With Nikki keeping watch, Ellana lowered the unconscious girl onto the pavement stripping off the ghostface outfit before taking her into her arms, assuming her form with a kiss slipping off her hat. Kinzie Harrington, 18, High School Senior. She's a super fan of...Twilight. Kinzie has a crush on Kristen Stewart, inspired by her coming out as lesbian. She is going to come out to her friends and introduce her girlfriend. She's already come out to her parents, who have taken it quite well. Putting in Kinzie's studs, Ellana slipped off her heels then unzipped her dress from the rear peeling it from her slender shoulders down her petite half naked body revealing full buoyant C-cup breasts with puffy pink circular areolas. After carefully rolling down Kinzie's fish net tights, Ellana whipped off her solid black thong in on smooth motion exposing a small clitoris topped with a trimmed strip of chestnut brown pubic hair and pert peach shaped buttocks. Once she got dressed in Kinzie's outfit, Ellana tore off strips from her discarded outfit binding and gagging the unconscious naked girl then taking her by her ankles dragged her to the dumpster tipping her inside, along with the ghostface outfit. Rejoining Nikki she grinned twirling in her new outfit. Her Lifemate shook her head. "I love you, Ellie. But you are unbelievable sometimes." Chuckling they left the alley.

20:30pm

"So are you happy now?" Nikki joked as Ellana grinned with Kinzie's face. "Never better, Nik." Shaking her head Nikki laughed as they continued knocking on doors. As they moved further down the avenue, they heard the sound of loud music. "Well that sure sounds like a party, come on Ellie." Following the music, they came to a student house with various costumed young people coming to and fro, clutching plastic cups filled with beer. Standing at the door was a pretty redheaded girl dressed in a sexy vampiress outfit, who beamed as they approached. "Hi guys. Having a happy Halloween? It's an open party so everyone's invited. Provided you are twenty one or over." She said giving Ellana a pointed look. Fishing out her driving license, Nikki flashed it at the girl. "There you are, I'am also NYPD if that helps." The girl nodded. "Okay and your friend? She doesn't look old enough." Before Ellana could say anything, Nikki held up her hand. "It's alright, she's cool. That's Ellie, my cousin from New Jersey." The vampire shook her head. "And I'am sure she can speak for herself. How old are you, sweetie?" Ellana glanced at Nikki then back at the girl. "I'am 25-cyc-er 18 years old." She said sheepishly. The vampire flashed her a sympathetic look. "Sorry, honey but this is proper party and we don't want to risk the law being called, no offence." She glanced at Nikki as Ellana advanced on her. "How dare you! I'am a c-" " Come on Ellie, it's past your bedtime. Sorry." Nikki apologised to the vampire as she lead Ellana away.

"I really wanted to get into that party! Why are humans so particular about age? Like being 18 makes a difference." Ellana as she and Nikki walked away from the student house. Nearing another alley, Nikki noticed a very familiar black sedan parked across the street. "Look, Ellie..." She gently squeezed her forearm, getting her attention. "...suits at 10 o'clock." Ellana sighed as she followed Nikki's gaze. "Well, it took them long enough. Lucky for us they are two steps behind, but we nearly need to get into that party." Cutting into the alley, they noticed an attractive latina girl walking towards them, wearing a sexy shirt white nurses dress, with red trim, belt and cross in the middle between her ample D-cup cleavage, white lace garter on the left leg with matching high heels. Under her white nurses hat was long dark brown hair that framed a tanned heart shaped face, with big bright hazel eyes. Seeing her Ellana approached her. "Don't go to that party around the corner. They are very particular about age." The latina looked her up and down, smirking. "Well it's a good job that I'am 21, chica. They shouldn't be letting little girls like you in anyway." She said haughtily flicking her hair, before gripping the front of her dress. "Where did you get your outfit? A dumpster-ugh!!" Ellana blinked in surprise as Nikki struck the girl with a swift neck chop, sending her crashing to the pavement with a cute grunt. "Nice one, Nik." Ellana smiled as Nikki shrugged. "You were going to do that right? Besides, nobody insults my Lifemate and my girlfriend. Come on, let's get her behind that dumpster and you into that dress." Grinning, Ellana took the unconscious girl by her ankles dragging her around the dumpster as Nikki kept watch.

Stripping off the witch outfit, Ellana took the unconscious latina into her arms assuming her form with a kiss as she removed the girls hat and earrings. "Juliana De Santos, 21, Sports Science Student at Columbia, hails from Rio. After her degree she wants to return to Rio to work as physiotherapist. She gave up a place in a prestigious samba school to study in the States." Ellana said as she put in Juliana's earrings. "Well I can't really see that happening. Her bedside manner was just awful." Nikki joked as Ellana unbuttoned her dress from the front peeling it from her voluptuous form, revealing a matching solid white backless strapless bra, enveloping her full D-cup breasts with matching g-string thong. Unclipping Juliana's bra from the front, Ellana admired the girls full springy breasts with dark brown perky areolas then took our her navel piercing, putting it in herself. "Nice tits." Nikki glanced appreciatively as Ellana clipped on the bra before proceeding to whip off the garter followed by the g-string thong exposing a full clean shaven clitoris. When she had finished getting dressed in Juliana's outfit, Nikki assisted her in tearing up Kinzie's witches outfit binding and gagging the naked Juliana before stashing her in the dumpster tossing the witches outfit in with her. Nikki sized her up "Well don't you look a picture, Ellie. Come on, this should get us into that party." Giggling, they left the alley heading back to the sounds of the party.

As they approached the same vampire girl who had turned them away minutes before, the girl did a double take when she saw Nikki. "Hey, again. What happened to your cousin?" Nikki smiled grasping Ellana's hand. "Like I said it was past her bedtime. This is my girlfriend, Juliana. Show her your ID, Jules." Ellana winked flashing Juliana's student card. "We're in love!" The Zenobian cried, returning Nikki's squeeze. The girl smiled. "Well, this looks about right. Come on in join the fun!" She stood aside letting them in.

Further Down Amsterdam Avenue 20:50pm

"Come on boss. It's been an hour, we will never find her at this rate. Besides, we are already getting dirty looks from the neighbourhood." L ignored M's complaints as the stalked the bustling streets packed with the young. Suddenly, they spotted ghostface emerge from an alley to their right. "You! Stop right there! Police!" L cried as the figure froze before tearing back up the alley. M took off after them. "Boss?! What are you doing? It can't be Ellana! Nikki's not here!" L still wasn't listening as she rapidly closed the distance on the masked figure, tackling them to the ground. "Hey, what the fuck man?! You're no cops! Get off me!" Cried a young man's voice from behind the mask, as L hauled him to feet pinning him to the wall. "Where did you get that outfit?! Explain!" The kid whimpered as M caught up with them. "Alright, alright! Just don't hurt me, lady. I found it in that dumpster behind you, along with a cute naked chick." Straining their ears, the agents could hear thumping and muffled moans from behind them. M shook her head. "And you didn't call the cops, kid?" Ghostface shook his head. "It's Halloween man. Could be a prank for all I know and I ain't going down for that shit. Now will you let me go?!" Loosening her grip, L let the kid run out off the alley as the agents turned their attention to the dumpster.

"Oh hell..." L breathed as they opened the dumpsters lid, glancing down at the bound naked form of a teenage girl curled chestnut hair bouncing around her bared shoulders, tears streaming down her face pleading for release. "Mmmmph!" She screamed into her gag. M leant in gently loosening the torn black cloth in her mouth. "Mmmph-elp me! Ghostface stole my clothes!" She said voice choked with tears. Roaring in frustration L turned from the girl as M took out her communicator, dialing P. "P? It's M, yeah she's struck here on Amsterdam Avenue. We need clean up and processing ASAP." After hanging up she placed a hand on L's shoulder. "Boss? P's Enroute for clean up. I think it's best we call it a night, we are two steps behind as it is. Besides, she's with Nikki. It's not like she's going to blow up the Earth." L took a deep breath before turning around. "You're right rookie. Let's make the girl comfortable before P arrives. It's been long night."

624 Amsterdam Avenue, The Halloween Party 22:58pm

Over the course of two hours, Nikki and Ellana enjoyed themselves dancing the night away and sampling what passed for alcohol on Earth. Nikki herself had only one beer, citing the need for restrain has she would be due on patrol at 05:00am tomorrow morning. That didn't Ellana from exchanging in a game called "beer pong" which she readily won because of her total lack of inebriation, the human brew being far too weak to effect her senses. She mentioned as much to Nikki. "Which is why I'am not much of a beer girl. Give me a glass of bourbon or tequila anyday." That was then they were approached by two attractive young women, one dressed in a Harley Quinn outfit the other who was as green as a Mistulan who Nikki had said was a villain from Batman called Poison Ivy. "Hi my name's Melody and this my friend Candice." Said Harley Quinn, flashing them both suggestive smiles. "We have been watching you two. You are the most hottest girls in here. Do you want to go somewhere private to make out?" She slurred her words sounding a little drunk. Ellana shook her head. "Well you are kind to offer but I've had a little too much to drink. But my friend here..." Nikki bit her lip looking up at Melody. "Well how could I turn down a generous offer from a Gotham City Siren. Are you okay with this, Juliana?" She asked raising from her chair as Ellana nodded. "Go have fun, you've earned it." Mouthing a thank you, Nikki took Melody by her hand leading her away from their table through the crowd. Leaving Ellana alone with Candice. "So tell me about Poison Ivy? Is she really Green?" She asked the girl who leaned forward giggling.

Midnight Friday 1st November 2024

It wasn't till about midnight that Nikki returned with a very happy Melody, who wrote her number on a piece of paper. "For a cop you're a damn good kisser. Here..." She handed Nikki her number "...just in case you're up for seconds, batgirl. You two take care." She bade Nikki farewell with a kiss before she rejoined her friend Candice melting into the ground. As the two left the party behind making their way to Nikki's car, Ellana turned to a smiling Nikki. "So are you going to call her back, Nik? She really liked you." Nikki chuckled as they walked down the dark street. "Don't get me wrong, she was very cute and kissed well but she's much too young at only 18. Besides, there's this new girl at work. A CSI and she's really hot. Just yesterday she was watching me train." Ellana giggled looping her arm in hers. "Well who is she? What's her name?" Nikki laughed holding her close. "Liv Brannigan. I think she might be the one, Ellie." Ellana grinned. "Well talk to her, introduce yourself. Form that connection, you won't know until you do." Nikki nodded caressing her cheek. "Well, my birthday is coming up. Yeah, why not. Thanks babe." She kissed her on the cheek as Ellana stopped in her tracks. "Isn't that our friends Sedan?"

Nikki nodded as she looked across the street, the agents were two busy talking with P to notice them. She grinned an idea coming to her. "Wait a moment, Ellie..." Taking out her swiss army knife from her clutch bag, Nikki thrust it into the sedan's tires with a smile. "Trick or Treat, assholes. Serves them right for bugging my apartment." Laughing, the two women hurriedly left the scene, with buckets of candy quickly finding Nikki's car and driving off into the night.

As they walked back to their sedan, M's jaw dropped in surprise. "Sonofabitch! Damn fucking kids! I seriously want to blast someone right now!" She swore inspecting the damaged tires. L sighed pinching her nose. "This night just keeps on getting better and better. Well at least we won't be paying for this. Come on, M. P says they found another naked girl in a dumpster." The blonde agent shook her head. "No rest for the wicked, eh?"

West 102nd Street 00:15pm

"Looks like we got ourselves a good haul, Ellie." Said Nikki as they divided up their well earned candy between them, Ellana grinning. "Thank you for such a wonderful experience, Nik. I learnt so much this evening." Nikki placed a hand on her shoulder. "I should be thanking you, babe. You made it memorable even if we did leave two girls naked in dumpsters. Besides, it felt good to teach the agents a lesson." Ellana giggled planting a kiss on her Lifemates cheek. "Well it's my birthday coming up in a few days. I hope you can make it." Ellana nodded flashing her a wink. "I wouldn't miss it." Nikki took out a Hershey Bar, tearing off the wrapper. "I will call you with the details and Ellana..." The Zenobian paused taking off her seatbelt as Nikki paused to take a bite swallowing it. "...don't eat all your candy all at once not unless you want to puke it all out." Laughing Ellana kissed her again on the cheek. "See you later, babe. Love you." Her Lifemate winked back. "Love you too, Ellie. See you soon." Getting out of the car, she waved Nikki farewell before turning back to the Zephyr. Taking out a chocolate bar of her own, Ellana bit into it feeling a warm sensation spread through her. "This tastes divine. It's a shame we don't have anything like this on Zenobia. Well that can always be remedied. I may even share some with Kremm." Laughing, she walked up the boarding ramp of her shuttle feeling warm and contented.

MiB FIELD REPORT (TASK FORCE ELLANA)

CASE NUMBER:- EL117824

Locations:- West 102nd Street, West 104th Street, Museum of Ice Cream 558 Broadway, Amsterdam Avenue, New York City, New York USA

Dates:- 30/10/2024- 31/10/2024

Incident:- Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind

Attending agents:- L ( Senior Lead Agent) M ( Probationary Agent)

Support team 05:- P( Lead Agent) N( Probationary Agent and Data Analyst) K (Communication and Drone Specialist l) D(Logistics) J (Driver)

Status: Ongoing

Report Summary:-

Following three weeks of inactivity in the wake of the hospital siege, our satellites detected the approach of the Zephyr landing somewhere in the vicinity of Nikki Sanderson's apartment although we haven't been abe to ascertain where. We found Nikki's first victim, a Miss Amelia Todd student at Columbia University and UK citizen in the alley behind West 102nd Street. As we were discussing what could possibility motivate Ellana's return to Earth, Agent K signalled that the bug we had planted in Sanderson's apartment was live. Listening in on their conversation, the team weren't able to learn very much since K had reported interference from the bug which we would later learn was damaged, unintentionally by Ellana. But what we were able to pick up was the museum of ice cream on 558 Broadway as a potential target. Making a tactical call, I decided to follow up on this lead tasking two agents to watch Sanderson while we track down Ellana.

What followed was a complete and utter debacle, which I take full responsibility for. Taking the false lead to heart, agent M and myself infiltrated the museum by incapacitating two female employees and stealing their uniforms. Our plan was to blend in and wait for Ellana to make an error. Sure enough we thought we had our girl which turned out to be an innocent staff member. It wasn't until we received a call from P that we learned that Ellana wasn't even there. She and Nikki had escaped their surveillance by replacing her neighbour Joanne Nicholson then proceeded to the All Dressed Up! costume shop to purchase a ghostface outfit ready for Halloween. Where Ellana, despite the presence of Nikki replaced Miss Roxanne Hart the store clerk. After an hour of neuralysing the witnesses at the museum, securing Miss Nicholson and Miss Hart we had lost the trial. Deciding to wait until the holiday until we resumed our search, sticking to Amsterdam Avenue.

As it turns out we fully underestimated the scale of the task in front of us, the streets packed with students celebrating the holidays. It took us nearly an hour until we found our 'ghostface' which turned out to be a young male, who had discovered the costume along with another of Ellana's victims a Miss Kinzie Harrington a high school senior, naked in a dumpster. Following Agent M's recommendation, I decided that it was best we called it a night after all we were two steps behind and had no idea what Ellana looked like let alone what Nikki was wearing herself, plus she wasn't a threat not with Nikki looking out for her. Later events would vindicate my decision as we learned from P that Ellana had replaced another student, a Brazilian citizen named Juliana De Santos just to get into a Halloween party. By the time she awoke after midnight, there was nothing further she could add so she was processed and neuralysed. Ellana with Nikki's help had slipped the net. We are keeping a watch on Sanderson and are expecting Ellana to be present for her birthday on the 5th November

Addendum:- Our sedan's tires were vandalised by local youths and we request field replacements to be made available immediately.

Signed

Senior Agent L (Lead Agent Task Force Ellana)

I confess I was expecting this chapter would give the answer to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

...

Yes, I have been holding on to that joke for weeks. I regret nothing.

I also confess when you mentioned in PM Chapter 42 was Halloween-themed, I believed it would actually be released for Halloween. (At the time, the arc Nikki VS The Mafia was still going on, so I suspected it would be longer than 3 parts.) Halloween costumes are a rare sight on the Board, but they are a gold mine for original outfits.

There being an Ice Cream Museum is not something I suspected could exist, but I'm not surprised to learn it does exist. There are museums for weirder things after all...

Weirdly enough, I don't have much more to say about 42. It's pretty straightforward - it feels like an epilogue / breather episode compared to what came before.

Speaking of which, since my OCD won't allow me to modify the order of the chapters, a bit of catching up and quick reviews of previous chapters:

- Chapter 40 is obviously a big one (a big game changer?).

First, there is the fact it's darker. Ellana's series, at least the parts I had the time to read, has always felt like a light-hearted series: . The introduction of darker themes like murder or assassins makes this arc stand out, and raises the stakes. I'm not a fan of lethal takedowns when it comes to my USB fetishes, but as a narrative tool, death is powerful, and people willing to murder make for big threats Of course, Ellana's and Nikki's part often remain light-hearted.

"I'am really sorry about this...Kelly." she added reading the girls nametag" With Kelly being a caterer, was that line a reference to the Alias scene with waitress Debbie?

This arc brought an interesting dynamic in-between Ellana, Nikki, and the MIB. I always like the trope of two rival sides being forced to unite against a common enemy.

Not a fan of fully-described nudity or peeing though. It's a nitpick, but I do think that in situations in which Ellana is forced to collaborate with the MIB, the MIB may insist she doesn't steal underwear - it's less time wasted and less paperwork that way

. Unless they believe humoring her is less troublesome?

The team of assassins were interesting antagonists in Part 3. Even if in this specific story they are forced to "play nice", their dialogues and attitudes make it clear they are cold-hearted killers, and therefore dangerous. However, the second half turns the tables - and it's quite satisfying to see Ellana (and L and M) effortlessly dispatch them given how callous they are.

- Chapter 41 was interesting in several ways. First, it's a training montage. The simulation giving it a "videogame vibe" makes it stand out. And I liked that it featured "alien-like" girls. Having non-humans is a cool way to add originality - hair colors and skin colors humans can't have naturally. Green skins will always remind me of the Mazone, the alien girls in Captain Harlock. I know some people don't like much when the victims are non-humans, but personally I don't mind it.

Still not a fan of fully-described nudity or peeing though, but that I already mentioned it a lot.

A bit like Chapter 42, Chapter 41 feels like an epilogue and breather episode - a way to illustrate the new relationship between Nikki and Ellana, and to catch our breath. But since Chapter 41 features more orignial / unique elements, it stands out more. While Chapter 42 also contains rarely-seen contents, it's a lot more down-to-earth. (As much as Ellana's adventures can be.)

I know some people don't like much when the victims are non-humans, but personally I don't mind it.

Still not a fan of fully-described nudity or peeing though, but that I already mentioned it a lot.

A bit like Chapter 42, Chapter 41 feels like an epilogue and breather episode - a way to illustrate the new relationship between Nikki and Ellana, and to catch our breath. But since Chapter 41 features more orignial / unique elements, it stands out more. While Chapter 42 also contains rarely-seen contents, it's a lot more down-to-earth. (As much as Ellana's adventures can be.)

Hi Rufus

No it's quite alright, you were killing me with the suspense but I really appreciate the joke. But if you told Ellana about the meaning of life she would probably want to go look for it.

Yeah, when Arc and I where discussing this Halloween story we thought it best to release it off season to keep with the narrative. ( And like similar arcs with the cruise ship and the Olympics, we fought it best to have a three part story forthe mafia story to not only have an easy to follow narrative but to have as much character development as possible.) It's true that you don't see many Halloween outfits on the USB so I couldn't resist the opportunity to showcase their disguise potential, and to have sexy girls relieved of them.

I admit that I was surprised as well. When I was researching locations in New York City, I saw the Ice Cream Musuem and thought "ohh that would be a fun place for Ellana to visit" given how much she loves the stuff. But I used it instead for a location in this story where our agents commit an almighty cock up. That's not to say Ellana won't be paying a visit to the musuem in the near future..

Indeed, Chapter 42 was a breather Chapter not just for Nikki and Ellana but for the readers as well, to prepare for the upcoming next season.

I know what you mean, I may have mentioned that I have a little OCD myself so I can't stand it when the Chapter order gets all muddled either, so I appreciate the quick reviews of the past chapters

Chapter 40

It was most certainly a game changer. When we discussed the concept for the Mafia Arc, we wanted to make it dark to convey to the reader how our characters would deal with more darker themes like murder and assassins. I completely agree that death and the threat of death are powerful tools to develop a narrative and help develop the characters, but I wanted Nikki and Ellana's scenes to remain at the core light hearted. Since this is what ECSH is all about.

I'am glad you enjoyed Ellana, Nikki and the MiB combining forces to take down the Rizzo family. I have to credit Arc with this concept and I'am pleased with how well its been recieved. This won't be the last time we see the heroines of ECSH joining forces against a common enemy. In fact very soon another more dangerous will surface, and this time it will be personal for one of our MiB agents.

Yep, that line was indeed an homage to that famous "Debbie the Waitress scene" from Alias . It remains one of my favourite USB scenes and I wanted to pay my respects to a scene that inspired me.

Now with Ellana's infamous toilet ambushes, she does wait until the women have finished their business until she strikes. It's that she doesn't let them get decent. You could say it's a reflection of my love of the bathroom ambush trope in USB. With the nudity, the MiB does humour her in this instance as she would only complain. Besides, it's Ellana and stealing everything is her thing I wouldn't want her changing to please the MiB. If Nikki can't get her to change then I doubt the MIB can.

Indeed, the assassins are forced out of their comfort zone when ordered by the don to "play nice" but despite that, it didn't stop them from treating the staff like toys. I often like writing from the perspectives of the villians in the first half, as it makes their inevitable downfall at the hands of our heroines all the more satisfying to write. I'am glad you enjoyed our heroines effortlessly taking them down, despite them appearing capable.

Chapter 41

I'am glad you liked the entire concept of the training montage/ video game feel of this chapter, I was inspired partly by The Matrix and my own love of video games. I noticed that there are very few( if any) USB stories set in a simulation, so I thought it time to remedy that. It was Arc who put forward the concept of a story set in a simulation, and definitely something we will go back to in future stories. Thanks for enjoying the Mistulans, it has been controversial with my decision to incorporate non-human victims but I feel vindicated by your compliments and I appreciate that. Honestly, in my ignorance I haven't heard of the Mazone or Captain Harlock but they do sound interesting. The inspiration behind the Mistulans were the Orion girls in Star Trek, and Arc suggested the horns would be a nice touch. I have to say I'am glad how they have turned out. In fact it's not the first time I have had non human victims, in my Blood series, I had elven victims.

Indeed, Chapter 41 was meant to finally answer that question about the nature of Nikki and Ellana's relationship. Again it was Arc who suggested we make them a strong platonic couple, so this is where we created the Lifemate concept. This will be explored as the series develops and frees up Nikki to pursue a relationship with a certain new CSI girl, and Ellana's attempts to make sure they have a perfect date.

42, is the calm before the storm. Furthering the relationship of our heroines and introducing Ellana to that wonderful human invention...chocolate. In Chapter 43, Ellana will mark her Lifemates birthday and will go to great lengths to get that perfect gift for her best friend, navigating the murky waters of shopping. And 44 will be a special date night for Nikki.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review my stories, Rufus. I really appreciate it. If i have the time I try to read Ghazan.

Well, I did give my word I'd review Chapter 42. It was a joke promise, but a promise nonetheless...

Chance, fate, or whatever you called it, made it that Chapter 42 was a chapter I didn't have much to say about - since it's pretty straightforward. So I figured out I'd catch up with everything in one go. I confess it was a fast-paced binge-read, so I most likely missed some details, but I got a pretty good picture of the story.

The parts that actually strayed from the usual formula are the ones that caught the most my attention - I guess that's bound to happen with a "formula-based" story. I already mentioned which aspects of the series I like and which I don't like, so I didn't mention them again.

Ironically, the part with the assassins was the one that caught my attention the most - I guess it's because it felt like a classic set-up. A villainous team infiltrates a compound, leaving bound-and-gagged scantily-clad women in their wake.

Though that mafia wedding was also a riot. In hindsight, Ellana did Sofia a favor by mugging her and locking her up with her crush...

I've already mentioned I'm a bit ambivalent towards Ellana - and the same applies to Nikki, but that has more to do with my personal liking and how I view authority figures / law enforcement.
Personally, the fact that Nikki is part of law enforcement but never makes more than a token attempt to contain Ellana is something I truly dislike. She complains of course, but one can easily see that, outside of when it puts the mission in jeopardy, she's perfectly fine with innocent women (whom she's supposed to protect) being mugged for flimsy reasons. In that regards, you can say there's a dichotomy between how the narration portrays characters and how I perceive them. Ellana and Nikki are shown to have plenty of qualities, and a strong bond that goes beyond "simple" love, but I perceive some of their actions and reflections as uncaring and casually cruel.

Now, the light-hearted mood of Ellana's series prevents this from being a huge issue. It's pretty clear this is a world in which the women Ellana mugs only spend a couple of bad hours, and are then rescued - the MIB are a useful narrative tools in that regards. The narration even highlights it several times - to the point Ellana is suprised when one of her earlier victims hasn't been already found when she comes across her again. Plus, details are added to make Ellana more sympathetic - for instance all the moments in Chapter 40 Part 3 in which she tried to reassure/apologize in her own way to the innocent victims of the assassins. You could say the narration balances things out just enough to not turn me off.

(By peeing, I meant more the explicit description of characters, well, peeing, than the classic 'restrooms ambush'. It's a bit like frontal nudity. Those are turn-off to me.)

I don't blame you for not knowing Harlock - France has a very special history with Japanese animation, we got a lot of their series earlier than many countries - like the United States for instance. (I don't know it it's the same with the UK.) But the Mazones have a lot of potential.

And sometimes face-concealing helmets... Poor fools...

That's fine, even if it was a binge read on your part I appreciate you taking the time to review.

I had a lot of fun in writing the Mafia trilogy and in particular the hospital siege. I was inspired by Die Hard and by on of my previous stories The Merry Women in respect in making this a mass stripping scenario, which is one of my favourite tropes when it comes to USB.

I'am glad you enjoyed the mafia wedding and I agree, it was the least Ellana could do for Sofia but how Carmelita felt about the issue, being stuffed naked in a cabinet with her love rival, is anyone's guess

That's okay, I mean I may have alluded to my own feelings towards authority figures or law enforcement in my previous stories ( which to say are not particularly flattering, after all in the UK the cops aren't known for their competence.)

I think Nikki's ambiguity towards Ellana and her muggings is similar to how we treat family who we know are wrong but we waive whatever they do, because we love them. After all, with cats we know they hunt but still we love them. With regards to the dichotomy, you could say due to their lifemate bond, they are rubbing off on one another whether for better or worse.

Indeed, Ellana herself doesn't bear any ill will towards the women she mugs in fact she does find them easy on the eye, and when she attacks them she tries to ensure they don't suffer unnecessary pain. This provides a contrast with the MiB who often leave their victims with a new collection of bruises. It was always my intention to make Ellana more sympathetic as the saga goes on, she starts off as a curious naive space tourist, smart but sometimes clumsy but later we see that heroic side to her. She hates injustice and cruelty to others, which was reflected in her attempts to comfort the assassins victims.

( Oh, I see. No worries, it's just generally how I open those sorts of scenes. No offence taken, I know it's not to everyone's tastes.)

Actually, we don't get mucj Japanese animation in the UK. There have been exceptions with Pokémon and Digimon but generally anime as never been popular here. But I agree, the Mazones have a lot of potential and they look good too.

Ah, face concealing helmets a USBs favourite thing. They cover a lot of sins after all and make infiltration a doddle. Now, they are just asking for it...

Wonderful story as always.

Definitely enjoyed the Amelia. The perfect distracted woman making herself an easy target. And great description of her being taken out: "Amelia's whimpers were ceased by a muffled pained squeak slumping unconscious in her attackers grasp, arms dangling limply. As her eyes rolled into the back of her head, she felt the sensation of being dragged behind the dumpster."

Also fun was the take out of Roxanne. We get to see the kiss knockout. I also somehow find the idea of Ellana lowering her so that she is slumped over the counter quite sexy.

Fun little double take out of Ashlynn and Bernice too! Liked that we got an explanation of what the two women experienced while being knocked out.

I also liked that both Juliana and Kinzie were both taken down with neck chops but one from Ellana and one from Nikki. I guess that training worked for Nikki since she seems to have learned the neck chop.

Some real fun stuff in this chapter!

And by the way, love the sexy nurse outfit. Not sure if that is Juliana herself but she is a hottie!

Indeed, poor Amelia was too distracted in scanning through her phones playlist to notice Ellana sneaking up right behind her, who took the time to glance at her screen not really appreciating her taste in music. And I'am glad you enjoyed the takeout.

Me too, there is something sexy about Roxanne slumped sleeping over her counter than Ellana just casually pulling her to the ground using her belt all the while Nikki watched helplessly. This was my favourite knockout for this chapter to write. I based the character of Roxanne on the unfortunate goth girl clerk in the TV series Supernatural, which is another of my favourite USB scenes. But on this occasion, there was a much happier ending for cute Roxanne who was unconscious for the longest time.

Thanks, I thought it best write the takeout from their perspective that Bernice and Ashlynn were two innocent girls looking forward for a night of ghoulish fun, unaware that they were about to be sexily choked out and stripped by our agents. And even though I love my neck chops and pinches, there is something quite sexy about these girls getting choked out and stripped by our highly trained, if sometimes bumbling agents.

Definitely, Nikki is quite the quick study having mastered the chop thanks to the training simulator. She certainly impressed Ellana who wasn't expecting it but was proud of her, nevertheless when she struck the snooty Juliana. With Kinzie I was inspired by a scene from the TV series Haven, in which the protagonist says something similar to the unfortunate woman and kills her for her clothes. But again I wanted a happier ending, although with getting discovered first by a curious boy then by our agents I'am not sure that qualifies as an happy ending!

Thanks again my friend, I'am glad you enjoyed it. Nikki's birthday is coming up next.
