Miss Americana goes to the First Thanksgiving
A super-heroine goes back in time to a sticky-fingered situation.

Hit END for a short summary.
"Flag Girl has a school project due, Dr. Whirter," Miss Americana said. "She's flunking, so we need a guaranteed A. So I want you to send me back in time. If we can learn the true history of the First Thanksgiving, then with the report I'll help her write there's no way she can fail."
Professor Whirter shook his head. "Miss Americana!" he gasped. "The time machine is not a toy! You cannot use it for such purposes!"
The mighty superheroine stood before him in his lab. She was resplendent in her defiant costume, which consisted chiefly of a patriotic American Flag bikini. A golden belt, the source of her powers, lay cinched tight about her buxom hips, emblazoned with a bright red A upon its buckle, at the center of her broad flat belly. She wore a star-spangled mask upon her face to protect her secret identity, with a matching A on her forehead. Two red gloves with blue A's on the backs of her hands, and gleaming red boots, completed her ensemble.
Her sidekick Flag Girl stood by her side, in a very similar but less ostentatious version of the same costume - and at least had the decency to blush. Behind Americana's sculpted ass, the platform of the Professor's newly-built time machine waited.
Miss Americana's expression darkened behind her mask. She was a proud woman and not used to being denied. "Professor," she growled, "my... I mean, my good friend Brenda Wade's money pays for this place. Do you really want me to put in a word with her about how... diligently, you use your funding?"
The Professor's blood ran cold, and he caved immediately. "Alright, alright," he said, bowing his head. Obediently, he went to the control panel, and started twisting dials. Flag Girl followed, watching curiously over his shoulder. Smiling smugly at her easy victory, Miss Americana walked up onto the round steel platform of the time machine.
"Ready?" Professor Whirter asked, as the machine started to hum.
"Ready!" Miss Americana announced, proudly. A crackle of energy sounded, and a glow of light enveloped her. When it faded, she was gone.
The wind stirred the woods near the Plymouth colony. It was autumn, and the leaves were red and orange and brown. There was a crackle of energy and a flash of light, and Miss Americana appeared. Sauntering up to the edge of the tree-line, she pulled down a branch and smirked.
Before her, across a large tilled field covered in the remains of harvested wheat, lay a hill. Atop the hill she saw a cluster of rough-hewn houses overlooking a rocky harbor. A second adjacent hill nearby held a simple earthwork with a few cannon emplaced upon it.
"Perfect..." she cooed.
There came a rustling in the brush behind her. Two men emerged, one tall and one short. They wore black woolen clothing and broad-brimmed black hats. Each brandished a long flintlock musket.
"Told you I heard a noise," the tall Pilgrim said to the short one.
"Heaven defend us!" the short Pilgrim said, eyes going wide, as he saw what had caused it.
The two Pilgrims gaped in disbelief for several seconds at the stacked scantily-clad beauty that stood before them.
"Hello," Miss Americana said. She started to move towards them.
But at that instant, the short Pilgrim snapped his musket up and pointed it at her. "Stay back, witch!" he said.
His companion seemed less sure. "Are you sure she's a witch?" he asked.
"She's a strange woman hanging out in the woods... what else could she be?" the short one asked.
"Hmm..." the tall one said. He looked Americana up and down again. "Well, she has certainly cast a spell on my phallus so..."
He suddenly snapped his musket up, and cocked back the flint. "Get on your knees and put your hands up, witch!" he said. "No speaking hexes, either!"
Miss Americana sighed, and shook her head, as she looked down the barrels of the two Pilgrims' long guns. Given the protections of her belt, she had absolutely nothing to fear from bullets. "You boys are making a big mistake," she cooed at them, as she cracked her knuckles and prepared to use her superhuman might to subdue them. "Fortunately I can correct it..."
But suddenly, a noise crackled in the earpiece of the communication system embedded in her earrings and choker.
"Miss Americana!" Professor Whirter's voice said, rising and falling from time distortion as he spoke to her from the viewing panel of his time machine. "You cannot harm anyone in this period!" he said. "Given their lack of medical care and poor nutrition, one punch could be deadly. And each of these men may have tens of thousands of descendents in our modern time... one of which just might be you! If you lay a finger upon them you might well erase yourself from history!"
"Oh..." Miss Americana gulped. "Right..."
She looked back and forth between the two men and their guns. She swallowed, but realized she truly had no choice. Getting summoned back immediately, in front of the two witnesses, could hardly disturb the time line much less.
"On second thought," she said, "I surrender."
She went down onto her knees before them, and put her hands up.
The taller Pilgrim kept his gun on her, while the shorter Pilgrim came forward. He had a set of iron manacles he had brought on his patrol, in case they should happen upon a hostile person spying on the colony and have a chance to take him prisoner. While his partner covered him, he dragged Americana's hands behind her curvy back and manacled them above her ass - having great difficulty keeping his eyes off the panty-swelling contours of her posterior as he did so. Then he put an iron collar on her, to which was attached a length of chain.
"There," he said, backing up. "The cold iron should keep the witch from casting any hexes upon us."
"If you say so," Miss Americana said, standing back up. Due to her superior nutrition and super-human genetics, she stood a head taller than even the taller of them. The shorter Pilgrim's head was level with her enormous breasts - a fact that despite his literally puritanical nature he seemed to find immensely affecting. "Now, please take me to your leaders so that I may work this misunderstanding out."
Eyeing her up and down, the taller one turned to his partner. "Let's take her to the Elders," he said. "Between them, the Reverend, the Governor, and Captain Standish will know what to do with her."
Miss Americana rolled her eyes. "That's what I said, you oafs!" she said, the chains clanking as she shifted her bikini-clad body impatiently.
Leading her by her new chain, the two Pilgrims marched Miss Americana out of the woods and up the hill towards the colony. As she approached, Miss Americana saw that a long table had been set up in the middle of the ring of houses. Although there were seats for over a hundred, only about forty men sat at it - and despite what should have been the impending festivities they looked nervous and emaciated. A short distance away upon the hill she noticed a chillingly extensive grave-yard, with nearly as many shallow and hastily-dug graves as she saw living people in the colony.
A little ways away from the main table, a second table had been set up for the Elders of the community - though here too there were several empty seats. They sat only on one side, facing towards the rest of the community. Miss Americana was brought to stand before the Elders, while the rest of the male colonists gaped at her in disbelief from where they sat. Several women and children rushed out to the doors and windows of the houses where they were working preparing the day's large meal and also stared in wonder at the strange woman being led through their midst - although their faces twisted in jealousy when they saw how their men were gaping at her.
As she was marched forth, Miss Americana wracked her brain desperately, for once, for a non-violent solution to her problems. 'Who would wear a bikini during this time period?' she thought to herself. Then suddenly, with a gasp, she got an idea.
"We caught this strangely-attired and exotically-shaped one snooping about in the north-west forest," the tall pilgrim said.
"We think she's a witch," the short one said. "Shall we put her under some rocks and crush her to find out?"
Stepping forward dramatically, Miss Americana lifted her head high and addressed the elders of the colony directly.
"I am not a witch!" she boldly declared. "I am an Englishwoman, like you! But I was captured by the Turks and kept in their harem. I escaped from the sultan's palace, but was blown by a storm all the way to this shore!"
'That ought to fool these simpletons...' she thought to herself smugly, as she watched them process this.
Before her, at the center of the table, the leading men of the colony sat, pondering her response. She vaguely recognized them, from their historical portraits: William Brewster, the chief spiritual leader of the colony; Myles Standish, the captain of the colonial militia; and William Bradford, the colony's current Governor. They each stroked their beards, considering her.
"Hmmm..." Captain Standish said. "If what you say is true, and you are no witch, then you should be prepared to prove it so," he said.
"Prove it? And how should I do that?" Miss Americana asked, indignantly.
"If you were a harem girl," Captain Standish said, "then you know how to dance like one. So... show us." He turned his head to the man next to him. "Do you permit this Reverend?" he asked.
Beside him, Reverend Brewster shifted uncomfortably, as he allowed his holy gaze to sweep up and down Americana's flesh. But then he nodded. "If it is necessary to prove whether she is in league with the Devil, then, as God wills it..." he said.
