As I promised, here is the first of two teasers.  This is for the Holiday Story.  A nice little lead in, if you ask me.

Everyone Gets What They Want

    December, the last month of the year.  Since the time of the Romans, it gained its name from the fact that it was tenth month of the year, the last month of the year at the time.  It is also the time of miracles.   Many noted miracles apparently happen at this time, from the Miracle of Lights according to Jewish beliefs, to the celebration of the Birth of Christ in all Christian religions.
    As time progressed, the miracles did not cease.  As recently as World War II, foes had laid down their arms, and had a peaceful Christmas dinner, and then allow their foes to go back to their own troops.  Even today, things get peaceful in families, communities, and even cities.
    Delta City is one such city.  The city was like any other place in the world as the miracle season blanketed it.  While one might expect a rise in crime as people tried to procure gifts during the gift giving season, it was actually the opposite.  In fact, even the criminal element thought it was low to steal during this time.
    Still, crime was never known to truly sleep.  There was always some sort of Holiday menace happening.  It was why all the heroines of Delta City, both native, and visiting, were on patrol.  In the past, the perversion of the Holiday figure, Psycho Santa, had struck at this time.  There was also sightings of Gremlins that only came out at this time.
    This night, however, was peacefully quiet.  It was so quiet that the major heroines decided to let the junior league continue the patrol.  This meant the collective group known as Teen Squad was on patrol.  Headed by Flag Girl, the group consisted of her, Specter Girl, GOT-Chic, Amazing Babe, Shield and Azure Angel.  They were the junior league, and no doubt they would use the opportunity to prove themselves.  In the same regard, while the senior heroines would take a night off, it was the junior squad that was stuck with missing out on Holiday fun.
    There was a reason, however, why the patrol was being long and boring for all the heroines.  Almost every villain that operated, or visited, Delta City were meeting at a nondescript building.  It was an invitation only event, and all had arrived there as discretely as possible.  Each one brought as much cash as they could get their hands on, and that was because of the promise of an one of a kind auction.
    As the group of villains all entered the largest room of the building, all the major heroines were returning to their homes.  Ms. Americana had returned to her home at Wade Manor, but had yet to get out of her costume.  The same could be said about Green Specter, GOT-Gal, Omega Woman, Champion Girl, and several other buxom heroines.  They all returned to their individual homes, or where they were staying while in Delta City.
    Normally, this would put any one of them at ease.  They would get out of their costumes, possibly at their leisure, and prepare to relax for the night.  This time, they didn‘t do that.  Each one of them found something odd in their dwellings, and while the item itself wasn't menacing in appearance, the fact that it was there was unsettling.
    The item was a gift box, and it was a big one.  In height, the box came up to her waist, and the tag on it read 'For Ms. Americana'.  It was even wrapped in paper that reflected her costume.  While a gift was usually a welcome sight, the fact that it was in the home of Brenda Wade bothered the heroine.
    This was the same at the homes of various other heroines.  At the home of Axanna Morgan, Green Specter had arrived to find a package wrapped in green wrapping paper, with her insignia on it.  It almost looked out of place next to the menorah.  Likewise, in the dwelling of Amanda Greer, there was a similar present decked out in wrapping paper reflecting the costume of Lady Midnight, right near the Kwanzaa Kinara.  Even in the dwellings of all the agents of B.A.B.E., a similar box could be found.  It was a one of the only times that Holiday gifts were unsettling.
