Tales From Venus Town

TALES FROM VENUS TOWN

By Dorothy Strangelove

part THREE: THE NEW LEAGUE

As Coral approached the bar, she didn't pay any attention to the young man standing near Anna. She smiled at her sister and then wondered why she looked a little pale, a little shaken up. It was most unlike her.. Anna nodded to Zack as if to say Hi, and turned her attention to Coral.

"How's Sara?"

"Scared. Byron's in a real mess."

Anna seemed distracted.

"I'll come up and see her when you go back..just give me a minute there's someone I have to talk to.."

And she turned towards the young man who was now sat in the corner at the end of the bar.

She looked back at her sister.

"Can you see him?"

Coral nodded.

"Of course I can - what's going on, Anna?"

Anna shook her head. There was no time to explain now.

"Just give me a minute and I'll tell you."

As she approached the stranger across the other side of the room, Zack let the camera blink on, he zoomed in on the top of her thighs as they moved together in her micro-mini dress, her long dark hair seemed to dance as it bounced with the sway of her body.

There was a sharp blow to the side of his head and the camera's view was marred with the word MALFUNCTION, and the light blinked off, his pupil froze and the eye went blind. He turned round to see with his good eye that Coral was glar

ing at him. She raised her hand to slap him again and he caught her wrist, remembering just in time not to grip her too tightly or his old fashioned hydraulics would snap her bones.

"Don't you ever slap me again!"He yelled, "Look what you've done!"

His pupil was fixed and not as bright as the other one, it was still and unfocussed.

"I caught you, Zack..filming my sister! My sister..how could you - "

"Fucking bitch!"He snapped, and reached up, opened his eyelid and used the other hand to ease out the eye into the palm of his hand. He held it out in front of her.

"You've broken it!"

While the quarrel was going on, Anna was beside the stranger, unsure of what to say, except for one thing:

"Who are you?"

"I told you before, my name's Billy...I'm a visitor here from the future. Not too far in the future, about twenty years..I have to see a man named Byron Meadows, he's a scientist.."

"Byron Meadows is dying."

"Yes, I know that..I have to see him before he dies. It's important. Can you take me to him now?"

"What's this about?"She asked him.

Billy thought back to their last meeting. To her it was like yesterday, to this time traveller, a year had passed since he last saw her. He had thought of nothing else but her beauty, and that beauty seemed to radiate even more now he was back here.

"Right now I don't have time to explain, but I have to get to Byron before it's too late. After that I'll tell you every thing, I promise."

His eyes were searching her's for an answer. As she looked at him she decided she could trust him, there was something about the way he spoke that said he was telling the truth. And she had seen him appear out of nowhere, so she could hardly dispute his claims..

She took some keys off a hook behind the bar and tossed them to a tall blonde woman with a half-exposed metal exoskeleton.

"Take care of this place till I get back, ok?"

The blonde nodded.

"Come with me."Said Anna, "And this had better not be bullshit..I'm trusting you."

Coral and Zack were still locked in their arguement.

"Do you have any idea how painful it is to get this implanted properly?"He demanded.

"Do you have any idea how painful it is to watch you spy on my sister?"She yelled back.

Anna watched as her sister yelled at an irate cyborg pornstar who was waving his eye in her face accusingly and concluded that somewhere, something even stranger had to be happening somewhere, but right now, she couldn't think where.. she cut in quickly.

"I'm going up to see Sara and I'm taking Billy with me..could you two kids take your quarrel outside please?"

And with that she headed for the door, with Billy following.

Coral stared after them

"Who the hell is he?"She wondered aloud. And then they were gone through the door, and Coral hurried after them.

She stopped just outside the bar, seeing the back of Anna's old car as it disappeared around the corner.

Zack joined her, his hand over his empty socket.

"I'm really starting to get a headache.." He pressed tiny buttons on the back of the eyeball, turned it over and the pupil adjusted and stared back at him.

He pressed the buttons again."The eye's working but the camera's not.."He muttered, and Coral looked away as he put it back in his eye socket. He blinked, looked back at her and both eyes were working again.

She wasn't sure if it was because he looked normal again or if his temper had simmered down, but he  seemed to be a lot calmer.

"You broke my camera."

"Sorry."She replied, "But you used it spy on Anna."

That was true. He was hoping to win her sympathy, and knew he was losing badly.

"And you kicked me in the nuts.."

"You deserved it.."

"My eye really hurts.."

"Shut up, Zack."She snapped, and got in her car.

He stood there for a moment thinking this was the time when he should start walking, but as she started the engine a strange panic gripped him and he opened the door and jumped in beside her.

His heart wasn't pounding like a human heart, but deep inside, he felt it within him - he was falling in love with this woman.

"I'm sorry."He said quickly, "Sorry for everything. I know I'm perfect as far as my design goes, but the human part of me is far from it..please don't hate me."

Typical Zack. He had to mention his perfections even in an apology..

"Just shut up."She repeated, and the car set off on the road towards the mountainside.

The other people far ahead on the road to the mountainside drove quietly, Billy looked out at the wilderness and thought how much greener the place looked twenty year's from now. It was Anna who broke the silence.

"Where are you from then?"

"Venus Town."He replied, "This is my home town too - will be, in the future. I've heard of the legend of the praying angel..is that true, how the statue appeared overnight?"

Anna shrugged.

"How should I know, I've never been there..never bothered."

"Could we just turn off at the top of this road and go up there and have a quick look? We'll still get to Byron in good time..I just want to take a look.."

"Okay."She said, and they turned off the road. She stopped the car at the bottom of the hill and got out.

The winding path ahead was wooded and dim, as she started to walk she slipped her hand in his and exchanged a smile with him. Billy was cute, she couldn't deny it. And she didn't meet a time traveller every day..

As she glanced at him again he smiled at her and she shook her head, dismissing a thought.

"You remind me of someone..don't know who though. I can't quite think.."

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

The cooling afternoon sun was softly kissing her shoulders and the whole place smelled of sweet grass and wildflowers. Anna stopped walking and wrapped her arms around him.

Billy stared at her.

"You're a fast mover."

"And you're a time traveller..tomorrow you could be gone..Billy, I want this.."

Anna kissed him, it was a hard, hungry kiss and she plunged her tongue into his mouth with passion. As he responded he felt his cock getting harder, he ran his handds over her dress, pushed the straps from her shoulders and it slid to the ground. Beneath it she was naked except for a black lace thong that was so sheer he could see her shaved cunt, her slit visible and inviting. He fell to his knees and slid her thong off, buried his face between her legs and tasted her juices. She grabbed at his hair, shoving his face harder against her as her flesh swelled and ached for more.

Sudden voices on the path somewhere below made him freeze. People were coming up the hillside! She stepped back and took his hand, dragging him into the shaded wood, giggling as they fell to the ground, the were just out of sight, but one sound and someone could easily spot them..

"Billy, no..I'm too loud.."She whispered, even though her juices were flowing uncontrollably at the sight of his big erect cock. A wicked gleam was in his eye.

"You'd better shut up then.."

And he looked at the lacy thong in his hand, brought it up to his face and sniffed it.

"You smell good.."He said, half lost in the moment. He brought it up to his face again, pressing the lace hard against his nostrils and inhaled deeply. As he breathed out, her scent had intoxicated him.

"I love knickers.."He whispered, and screwed them into a ball and carefully stuffed them into her mouth.

He slid his cock inside her before she had chance to protest, as he filled her up she gave a muffled cry and he smiled down at her, loving the power his cock exerted. Each thrust made her struggle and he could tell by her faint cries and the way she closed her eyes each time he hit her deep inside that she was loving it. He grabbed her by the wrists and continued to thrust, sucking hard on each breast before licking between them and gently biting on her shoulder. She fought against the gag even harder, moaning into it as he shot his load deep inside her. He gave one more thrust just to hear her try and moan again, then drew out of her. He took the g string out of her mouth and she drew in a lungful of air, her eyes still glazed with the pleasure of it all.

"That was good."She said breathlessly.

He shoved his cock in her face, all gleaming with their mingled juices and still wet and shiny.

"Clean it.."

She opened her mouth and welcomed it deep, closing her lips around the shaft and licking it clean, giving it a final suck just to be sure. Billy handed her the dress back. As she put it on, she said:"Underwear?"

Billy grinned and put the g string back in his pocket.

"I'll be saving this for later.. looks about my size too.."

And Anna laughed. Billy looked so respectable. She had found it a pleasant surprise that he was so kinky.

"I still want to see the angel."He said.

Anna glanced at the darkening sky.

"Wait till morning..there's not much light up there, it'll be better in the daytime..and Coral's going to be worried. We should get back to the house. Can you stay tonight?"

Billy nodded. After what had just happened, there was no way he was about to carry out his task and just go..Anna was worth hanging around a lot longer for..

She took his hand and they made their way back down the hillside towards the road.

Zack and Coral were sitting on the patio at Byron's house watching the sun set, their quarrel shelved for now, Zack had checked on Byron and found that he was free of pain but was decidedly weaker. He had said quietly to Coral, "We should  stay tonight..your sister's going to need you soon."

When Anna finally arrived with Billy they joined them and Anna sat beside her sister, suddenly all eyes were on Billy.

"Okay."Anna said, "Tell Coral and Zack what's going on."

"Take me to Byron Meadows and I'll telll you everything."He replied, "I really need to see him."

Anna stood up.

"Okay, let's go up now and we'll see what you have to say."

"Anna you don't know this person - "Coral began.

"I know him well enough to trust him."She replied, and led the way into the house.

Upstairs, Byron had been dozing in bed, watching the sun sink lower before he slipped into a light sleep. Sara had taken off her gloves and sat beside him watching him sleep, reassuring herself by the rise and fall of his chest.

As they entered the bedroom she looked at Billy and wondered why a stranger whas here.

"What's going on?"

Billy walked over to Byron's bedside and took a deep breath. Now was the time for explaining..

"I'm here from the future."

"It's true,"Anna said, quickly dispelling the doubt, "I've seen it with my own eyes.."

Billy sat down on the edge of Byron's bed and told them everything.

"Twenty years from now there's a cure for White Gas Syndrome. I didn't invent it but a few people like me did.. I worked with some colleagues of mine on the time travel concept..it's still new and there's a long way to go but we can go back far enough to trace the survivors and give them the antidote. That's why I'm here."

And he took a silver tube out of his pocket, twisted it open and took out a syringe loaded with a clear liquid.

"This is all he needs and he will live."

"Give it to him." Sara's voice was tearful, but decided.

"Give it to him, Billy."She told him.

As Billy reached for his arm Sara rushed forward with gloves.

Billy smiled.

"It's okay, I'm immune. I'm a second generation cyborg."

Zack looked at him sharply.

"Second generation?"

Billy explained.

"That's what makes people like me special. Children of cyborg parents are flesh and bone but our cell structure carries a super gene. We're the geniuses who are finding the cures and changing the world for the better, we're smarter and healthier and more resillient...this antidote I'm about to give Byron is made with our technology, it carries the gene that will destroy the sickness and start to fortify and rebuild everything the virus broke down. He's going to be very weak for a couple of months while his body recovers but after that he'll never get sick again in his life..and he'll also carry the cyborg gene which will pass to your children and they will be as brilliant as I am!"

He disconnected the drip from his arm .

"He won't need this any more."

Then he slid the needle into Byron's arm and injected the fluid.

Byron tensed, as the pain registered on his face his eyes slowly opened.

As he looked up at the young man whose conversation he had been listening to while he rested, he wondered how someone so young could possibly have the ability to find a cure for something no one in this world could have helped him with..if he was telling the truth, if this worked..

"Am I really cured?"He whispered.

Billy took hold of his hand and looked intently at him.

"Give it a minute..you're pretty far gone, it will take a bit longer..just a bit longer."

Something was creeping through his veins, cooling the fire in his skin, taking away the cold ache that reminded him he was growing weaker. The world was coming into focus again, sharper, brighter. His flesh felt warm and the pain was gone. Byron drew in a deep breath and tried to sit up, and promptly gave up on that - his body felt exhausted.

He knew it was working, he felt it. And Billy was right, he was weak, and although he didn't like the thought of taking a couple of months to get over this, it was nothing really, it was no price to pay at all..

Sara was staring at him. Before her eyes his flesh had taken on a normal colour again, it was as if she had seen the life slide back into his body.

"Sara,"Billy said, "As much as I'd love to sit here all day I think you should be the one holding his hand..he's not contagious anymore."

Sara reached out and took his hand. Then they reached for each other and she was kissing his lips, as tears ran down his face.

As they embraced Billy turned back to the others.

"I think they need to be alone for a while."

Billy left the room and headed down the stairs. As he reached the bottom he heard a familiar voice calling him.

He turned and faced him, already guessing what this would be about..

"What do you want to know, Zack?"

The cyborg glanced back and saw the two women were still upstairs, all the same, he kept his voice low.

"Do you know who I am?"

Billy smiled.

"You're Zack Mackenzie, porn star. That documentary you make does well. But you go back to making porn. Gang Bang Machine one and two..filthiest movies I've ever seen.."

But there was a look in Zack's eyes, it made Billy's skin prickle. Zack was interested in something far more important than his career..

"I'm a rich man."He told him, "Very rich..I'll give you everything I have if you let me use your time machine just once.."

Billy placed his hand on his arm and gave it a squeeze.

"Zack,"He said gently, "I know you would give anything to have the chance to save your wife...but as I said, time travel is a new concept..we can only move backwards and within a very narrow timeline. I can't go back far enough to reach her.."

As the hope began to fade from Zack's eyes, Billy decided to go back on his own promise not to reveal anything, because this was different..

"Zack,"he said, "Sometimes you just have to let go. You're going to have a happy life, you must believe me..You can never replace your first wife, even though you've tried for the last hundred years time and again..but your next wife will love you very much. And you will be happy with her, I know it for a fact."

Now he had his attention. It had just occurred to Zack that this young man knew everything that was to come..

"You're not telling me something.."

Billy knew him far better than he realised. He knew Zack wouldn't give up until he shared it with him.

"A while ago you had an implant."He said, "The first of it's kind. It hurt you so much you was on your back for three days with an icepack on your balls. It made you cry, it hurt more than anything you've ever been through in your life. But it's worth it, that implant's going to work, and sooner than you think.."

As he spoke he saw the look in Zack's eyes and it reminded him of the way he looked in an old home movie, the one where he was holding his baby son in his arms and said proudly:"This is my boy.."

Billy gave him a hug. Then he stepped back, before Zack asked him why. It wasn't every day he got the chance to meet his own father like this..

"Can you tell me anything else?"He asked him.

Billy laughed. He had told him enough already. Then a thought came to mind.

"Well,"he confided,"About ten years from now a threesome with the au pair and the babysitter might seem like a good idea at the time..but don't do it!"

"What's this about a threesome?"Coral was standing behind him, that suspicious tone creeping into her voice that she would use so often in the future.

"Nothing."Zack said, "We were just talking about one of my films..Right, Billy?"

And Billy nodded, long since used to being drawn in as his dad's alibi..some things never changed..

Zack glanced at Billy, he could see the look in his eyes, asking, Is she the one? And Billy discreetly nodded.

The change in Zack was astonishing.

"Let's go back to your place."He said to Coral, taking her by the hand, "It's been a long day..you must be exhausted..I'm so sorry about earlier..that camera..I'll get rid of it. I'll never do anything like that again.."

As he led her outside to the car he opened the passenger door for her.

"I'll drive.."

And he got in the other side and started the engine before she could protest.

She stared at him.

"What's got into you? And that Billy..who is he? he reminds me of someone..I just can't think who.."

"I know, I thought the same,"Zack replied, then he dismissed the thought, having more important things on his mind.

"I'm going to make you happy."He promised her, "Just give me a chance to prove it.."

And he started the drive back to Venus Town, his cock growing harder as he thought about laying her down on her bed and giving his baby-making equipment some long and serious practice..

Billy was still standing in the doorway watching the car leave as Anna approached him.

She smiled and walked out towards the patio, he followed her and they sat down  below the shade of an overhanging tree. She ran her fingers through her hair and pushed it off her face.

"So you're from the future..you must know a lot of things that we don't.."

Billy had no reason to hold anything back now.

"I'm Billy Mackenzie..son of Zack and Coral..a second generation cyborg..I'm a genius and some consider me the father of time travel..I came here using a method where I programmed in my own DNA to trace the route back here..thats why I couldn't understand finding you, you're not related.. you're adopted..then I realised, my father was in the bar at the time.. that was when I turned up the first time.. but I was too early..I looked you up on all the records that exists for this time and I find no record of you after tomorrow..I'm hoping that's because you'll be coming with me..I'd like you to, Anna. Could you do that? I can always bring you back if you want to come back, I promise I'll do that for you."

Anna laughed softly. He spoke as if she would be making a great sacrifice to leave. All she had was the bar..

"I've spent four years building up my business, it's been all the things to me a man has never been..it's mine, it won't let me down, it gives me more than any man has ever given me..no man has ever really given me anything..it doesn't use me, either.."

"I won't use you."He promised her.

"I want to believe you."Anna said, "I don't know. I'll think about it."

They fell silent for a moment, then Billy looked at her and said: "I'd love to have you, right here and now.."

She welcomed his embrace but then realised the camera was pointing at them..she had noticed other monitors around the house and was'nt sure how many of them were switched on.

Billy was moving in to kiss her and she pulled back.

"Billy - camera..over there.."

Billy glanced at the camera and felt a thrill that made him even harder.

"Let's hope it's switched on.."He murmured, and pushed her gently onto her back, spreading her legs. He paused to take the underwear from his pocket and inhale the scent of her juices again, then took his cock out and slid it into her, pinning her down and starting to fuck her rapidly, his face turned towards the camera as the thought of being watched made him even harder.

"I hope they see us.."He whispered, "I wish I was wearing your thong right now!"

"You can wear all of my clothes if you like.."She told him, gasping as his cock hit her deep inside. He was lost in this, not caring who could see him, half-hoping the people on the other end of the monitor were getting off on this too..

The image of Anna being held down and fucked by Billy was clearly visible on the monitor, but Sara's eyes were on Byron as she lay in his arms, both of them still cherishing the fact that they could at last touch.

She was on the bed beside him, in his arms, looking into his eyes. They had kissed, caressed, Byron was still too waek to make love and knew that was something that would have to wait until he was fully recovered, but it didn't matter, it was still sinking in that they had a lifetime to share everything now.

"I think we should get married later."He said, "When I'm back on my feet. Do it properly."

Sara smiled.

"Well there's no rush for anything now.."

"I want to feel you beside me like this always, your skin next to mine - I've missed that so much."

And then she was distracted by the moving images on the monitor.

"Billy's fucking my sister on your patio!"

Byron laughed. He wasn't about to criticise the man who had just saved his life. He turned his head and was just in time to see Billy grab her roughly by the hair and cover her face with cum. It was a proper facial, and she wiped it off with the back of her hand, then licked it from her skin..despite his weakness, he felt a stirring between his legs that told him he would be recovered far quicker than he had first expected to be..

"Just switch it off.."He said.

As the screen went dark he pulled her closer and kissed her gently.

He took her hand and slid it between his legs.

"I swear I'm not hard cos of what I just saw," He promised (and Byron was a damned fine liar), "I just want you to make me come..it's been so long since I've been close to you.."

As her hand slid around his hardening cock, she massaged him gently, sliding the sheet back and spreading kisses over his skin that he had thought he would never feel again. The thought of Anna getting it in the face had started to arouse him, but now other images crowded his mind - the thought of strapping Sara down in the chamber and toying with her cunt, teasing her with a vibrator until she could take no more, using toys on her until she begged him for release, until he fucked her and they both came together..the room that used to be his prison would certainly have a new life as a very different kind of chamber when he got his strength back..it was that thought that made him cum, and he pumped hot and wet all over her hand.

That night they slept together, their bodies entwined, still in awe of the fact that they could finally touch.

A few miles away in Venus Town, Zack Mackenzie fucked Coral long into the night until she could take no more, and then he held her in his arms and blinked back tears as he realised, for the first time in over a hundred years, he really was deeply in love again. The thought that she was to be the mother of his child made him want to hold her forever.

It was early in the morning when Sara woke to Anna lightly tapping her arm.

Anna kept her voice low not wanting to wake Byron.

"I'm taking Billy up to see the angel - he really wants to see it. He's leaving soon."

Sara nodded and went to go back to sleep.

"I might be going with him."

She opened her eyes.

"What?"

"I might be going with him, Sara. Back to his time. He's asked me..I haven't decided yet. So..I might be back later.."

"Are you sure - "

Anna nodded, and whispered, "I'll see you, then.."

And then she was gone, leaving Sara with the impression that even if she didn't want to say it, she had already made up her mind..

Anna took hold of Billy's hand and they walked up the hillside together. The sun was rising strongly in the sky and it was warm, a perfect day but Billy was silent as they made their way towards the cemetary. As they walked through the gates  and approached the tall white statue, he said, "So you've never seen the angel before?"

They were standing at the foot of the statue now. Billy's heart was pounding and he knew this moment was the end result of a great deal of planning, all to win the heart of a woman he fell in love with..

"It was me."He told her, "I put the angel here."

Anna was confused.

"What for?"

"For this day."He told her, "For you, for someone who has never been given anything, never been loved or appreciated..I love you and I'm not my father, I can't impress you with artificial stamina and the like..but I can do this, and I have.. look at the angel's face.."

Anna looked skywards.

As she took in the features of the statue, she knew all doubts she still held onto had vanished.

"This monument will last forever."Billy said.

Anna was still looking at the statue. The angel bore her face..

She turned back to Billy and smiled.

"Thank you."She said.

Sara got up a little later and looked out of the open window. Far in the distance she saw two people walking hand-in-hand down the hillside. Halfway down they stopped, kissed and embraced.

And as they did so she was sure she heard Anna's soft laughter carried on the breeze as the couple shimmered, and disappeared in a shower of a billion diamonds.

THE END
