A Christmas Tale

CHAPTER ONE: THE LIGHT FANTASTIC


SUPERMAN watched from a distance as Electra teased the adoring crowd from the stage.
They roared as she flaunted her body and blew kisses to them all. She was dressed in a figure-hugging leather catsuit slashed to the navel at the front to show off her perfect form.
He recalled how she'd flirted with him at the recent City Hall reception and tried to persuade him to join her for the switching on of the Christmas lights.
It was a tempting proposition. She was undeniably attractive - which was just why she'd become the city's most famous model. But something in her demeanour rankled with the Man Of Steel - an air of superiority and arrogance that hinted at an almost evil intent.
Electra continued strutting around the stage whipping the thousands who'd come to watch her flick the switch on the lavish decorations into a frenzy.
"Are you ready boys?" she asked gleefully drinking in the hungry looks from the sea of men below her.
They shouted their agreement in unison.
Electra beamed and placed her finger gently on the button.
"One, two, three," counted the crowd for her and then she pressed down sending a wave of light flooding over the square.
Superman blinked as the decorations blazed fiercely across the centre of the city.
Red, yellow, blue and white bulbs glowed brightly from office blocks, trees and lampposts.
Then very slowly a green light began to mingle with the other colours. It seemed to sweep along in a sinuous curve as though it were a rope twisting and turning as it swept towards him.
He looked down to see the faces of the crowd bathed in the strange luminescence and then grunted just as the beam reached him.
It was as though he'd suddenly been hit by a jackhammer. He felt his legs wobble under him as a roaring sound filled his ears and the breath seemed to be sucked out of him.
"No," he gasped. "No."
The Man Of Steel tried to move backwards but found he could hardly control his limbs. He swayed helplessly caught in the green glow of the lights and then fell to the floor on his knees.
Below him Electra was gazing up triumphantly as she waved to the crowd drinking in their adulation.
Superman's vision became blurred as his eyes were filled with twinkling green lights from all around him.
He felt his arms drop to his side and his body sag. He'd never felt so weak and helpless in his life - so bereft of his famed superpowers.
"No," he moaned gently one last time as he fell forward.
He sank into unconsciousness just as a silver-clad figure stepped forward from behind him and placed its booted feet either side of his prone body.
"Looks like Christmas has come early," grinned the delighted woman as she gazed down at the Superhero.
