The Touch of the Lotus




I dodged to the left as my hooded adversary unleashed another blast of magic
from her outstretched hand, the blast just narrowly missing me as it impacted
harmlessly against the hard concrete of the rooftop. My eyes narrowed behind
my mask as I focused on my opponent and fired off my own volley of energy
blasts from my wrist gauntlet, only to watch once again in amazement as she
easily evaded my attack by vanishing into thin air, reappearing a short
distance away with a clever grin on her face. "This is pointless my dear, how
long are you going to keep at it?" She teased from her position while I
pondered my next move. I had no idea who this strange woman was, only that she
was some kind of magical cat burglar as I had come upon her trying to make her
escape from the Paragon City Museum. In her left hand she held a small silver
briefcase, which contained a collection of rare stones and gems that she had
no doubt pilfered from one of the museum's many exhibits. She was about my
height and build, and wore a maroon single piece hooded costume that had
strange gold markings on it. A black leather belt with a large gold ring
buckle was wrapped snugly about her waist, a coil of rope hanging from a loop
on one side, and she wore nondescript black leather boots and gloves. She
appeared to have a shaved head underneath her hood, but that did nothing to
take away from her natural beauty and toned physique, which was evident even
underneath the tight fitting suit she wore.

"You've done well, but I tire of this pointless fight. If you don't mind
sweetheart, I'll be taking my leave now..." She said with a smug grin as she
turned away from me. "You think you can just walk away after pulling off a
heist at the museum?! I'm taking you in!" I responded confidently as I put my
hands on my hips and gave her my own smug grin. She gave a little chuckle and
then pointed a finger at me. "A bold statement, but it will be hard to catch
what you can't see!" She smiled and there was a spark of magical power from
her fingertip and then suddenly the ground at my feet exploded in a flash of
orange sparks. "Ahhh!" I jumped back and shielded my face from the blast,
though it appeared to be mostly harmless in nature as the only effect from it
was a thick black smoke that seemed to suddenly cloud the rooftop. I coughed a
bit and tried to wave my hand in front of my face to dispel the smoke, but it
was obviously some form of magic and it remained. I could hear my adversary
laughing in the distance as she escaped, but if she thought she was getting
away this easily she was in for a surprise. The lenses in my mask allow me to
see in a variety of vision modes, and the infrared vision was giving me a
clear view of my opponent as she slipped away into the night, despite her
little magical smoke bomb. I decided to wait for a few minutes, hidden in the
smoke from her attack to give her the illusion that she had halted my pursuit,
though I was watching her jump from rooftop to rooftop, tracking her
movements.

After a few minutes I decided I had let her get a comfortable distance away
and began to follow, using the repulsors built into my sexy knee high red
boots to jump from rooftop to rooftop, doing my best to stay hidden as I
followed her trail. I could have easily flown after her, but I didn't want to
risk the chance that she would see me in the sky, so sticking to the rooftops
was the better option. It took a bit more time, but I eventually reached the
end of her escape route, my eyes scanning over what appeared to be an
abandoned hotel building. "You don't get away that easily..." I said quietly
as I crouched behind a half broken brick wall and watched my quarry enter one
of the windows on the third floor, completely oblivious to my presence. A few
minutes passed and I decided to follow, the moonlight glinting off my sleek
black bodysuit as I crept closer to the building, the cool night breeze
causing my red scarf and skirt to flutter about quietly as I moved. There was
no sign of the strange woman as I reached the wall and slowly began to hover
upwards using my boots until I had reached the window she had used to access
the building. Oddly enough it was still open, and the room it led into was
dark. I could just make out a bed in one corner, and a few pieces of
furniture, but there was no sign of the maroon clad woman. I took a deep
breath and slowly climbed into the open window, my boots settling with a soft
click on what appeared to be a hard wooden floor in remarkably good condition
given the state of the building. It took my eyes a moment to adjust to the
dark, but I could soon see quite clearly, aided by the vision enhancements in
my mask along with the pale moonlight filtering in through the window.

I was a bit stunned to see that the bed and bedding were relatively new and
clean, as if someone was using the room to live in. The room itself was in
good condition, which was odd given that the old hotel had been abandoned for
years. A quick search of the room revealed nothing and I looked to the entry
door, wondering if my adversary had used it to escape into the hallway and
into the depths of the dark hotel. An uneasy feeling crossed my mind as I
didn't look forward to the prospects of pursuing her further into the
labyrinth of old rotted out hallways where she would have plenty of escape and
ambush points. "I guess I could check with the museum, see if they placed any
tracking devices on those gems..." I whispered quietly as I weighed my
options, but then I suddenly felt a cool mist against my face. "What...what is
this?" I asked, a bit confused as I noticed a black swirling mist now filling
the room. "Whoa...nnnhh..." I suddenly felt a little light headed as I got a
whiff of it up my nostrils. I blinked my eyes a few times and shook my head a
few times, the sensation clearing, but the mist remained present. "Not
gas...some kind of magical mist or trap?" I wondered out loud, not hearing the
soft footfalls approaching until they were right on top of me. "MMPPHHH!!!" My
eyes went wide and my shocked cry of surprise was muffled by a thick soft
cloth that was suddenly clamped down over my nose and mouth. My left hand shot
up to my face, grabbing at the hand clamped over the cloth, but my right arm
was quickly grabbed and twisted behind my back. "MMNNGGG!!!" I thrashed about
and tried to get free as I recognized the unfortunately familiar smell of
chloroform invading my nose and mouth, but my attacker was strong and easily
held me in place. "So nice of you to join me my dear, though I'm not sure how
you managed to follow me, I'll have to make it worth your while!"

My head was swimming, but I recognized the voice of the woman from the museum,
which only confirmed that I needed to escape her grasp. I squirmed and
twisted, but she held fast, giving the chloroform time to do its dastardly
work. My head started to feel fuzzy and my vision clouded as I breathed in
more of the potent fumes. The warmth spread through my body, causing my arms
and legs to feel weak as she kept the soft cloth clamped over my nose and
mouth. I was fading and had to do something fast. With my arm held behind my
back and my quickly weakening hand losing its grip on my attacker's hand over
my face, I had limited options. "AGGGH!!" The last thing my opponent expected
was for me to stomp hard on her foot with the heel of my sturdy red boot. As
her grip loosened I fired my free elbow into her stomach and was rewarded by
her losing her grip on me entirely. I gasped for fresh air and stumbled away
from her, trying to regain some sense as my head spun dizzily. I nearly
tripped and fell, but managed to get my legs under me enough to stand. I heard
a soft giggle from behind me and slowly turned around to face my opponent once
more. "So you have some fight left in you, and you're rather resourceful...not
bad...but not enough..." She grinned as she pointed a finger at me and there
was another strange flash of orange magic. "AAGGGH!!!" The blast hit me square
in the chest and sent me flying backwards to crash unceremoniously into the
wall. I hung there for a moment and then hit the floor like a ton of bricks, a
strange warm feeling of weakness pulsing through my body while wisps of
magical smoke wafted off of the chest of my snug fitting suit.

I tried to move, but found it difficult as my limbs felt fuzzy and far away,
like I wasn't in control of them anymore. My head spun in a warm daze, but I
knew I had to get up and mount some kind of counter attack, or by myself
enough time to escape as the tables had clearly been turned. "I'm impressed
you're still conscious after that blast, you continue to impress me..." Her
voice shot through my head and caused me to move with a bit more urgency as I
heard the sound of her boots slowly approaching me. I managed to slowly get to
my hands and knees, my hair hanging down in front of my face, a silky red mess
after the collision I had just endured. "Unnnnh..." I groaned softly as I felt
hands on my arm and shoulder, slowly pulling me up into a sitting position. My
butt slipped back to rest on my boots as my legs folded softly underneath me,
my adversary kneeling down behind as she pulled me back against her and
slipped one arm around the insides of my elbows. "Take solace in the fact it
wasn't one of the male sorcerers who captured you, they would surely use you
and then sell you on the slave market..." I could almost hear her grin as she
restrained my arms and pulled me closer against her, her firm breasts pressing
into my back. "You, you won't get away with...MMMBBLLLM!!" Once again the
tainted cloth was firmly clamped over my nose and mouth, cutting off my
protest and flooding my senses with more chloroform. "Sweetheart...I already
have...now just relax and enjoy what I have planned for you..." She teased as
she smothered me with the sweet smelling cloth, turning my once coherent mind
into a warm mushy mess. Black spots began to appear in my vision and my eyes
slowly rolled into the back of my head as I could no longer resist the potent
fumes.

"That's better...why don't we make this a bit more enjoyable for you?" I heard
her tease, but her voice sounded far away as my clouded senses began to slowly
shut down. My body went limp and sagged back against her, the feeling almost
gone from my arms and legs as my mind clung to the last shreds of
consciousness. "Nnnnnnhh..." A muffled sigh left my lips as I felt my muscles
relax completely, my eyes fluttering shut behind my red mask as I gave in to
the chloroform, almost welcoming the coming darkness as I realized there was
no escape. Just as I thought I couldn't take any more, she surprised me by
slowly pulling the cloth away from my face. Despite this, the damage had
already been done and I was in a half asleep state as I did my best to breathe
in some clean air, my bosom rising slowly beneath my snug fitting suit as I
struggled not to fall asleep. "I've heard a few little...rumors...about you
Crimson..." I found it odd that she knew who I was, but nothing was making
sense right now as my mind swam in a chloroform induced fog. I felt her arm
slide out from behind me, releasing my elbows, but it didn't matter as my arms
fell limply to my sides. "Hmmmnn..." I felt her other hand slide down to my
leg, her fingertips teasing softly against the smooth black material of my
suit. "Magic can be used for other things besides powerful attacks..." She
whispered in my ear as her hand boldly slid higher, teasing up under the hem
of my red skirt. I suddenly started to feel warm tingles wherever her
fingertips touched me, even through my sleek black costume. "Mmmmnn..." A soft
moan slipped past my parted lips as her fingers teased higher, her hand moving
up under my skirt as it slid between my spread legs, her fingers easily
targeting my more sensitive treasures as I could do nothing to stop her.

In my weakened state I could do nothing to resist her advances, my mind
quickly clouding over with arousal as her magical fingertips did their work,
dancing over the thin fabric of my suit to tease my sensitive skin. A powerful
warmth began to build in my tummy as she took advantage of my helpless body, a
soft sigh leaving my pouting lips as I felt blood rush into my erogenous zones
as what minuscule strength I had left began to ebb out of my muscles.
"Ooooh..." I moaned softly as I felt a tingle of arousal drift down my spine,
my breasts firming up against my suit as my nipples grew stiff and tented
obviously against the sleek black material of my costume. The snug fitting
black material between my legs began to grow damp, much to my dismay and the
delight of my captor. "Yes...won't be long now, just give in...enjoy it..."
She whispered in my ear as she slowly began to coax my orgasm forth from my
loins. The coming climax would completely strip me of my strength and powers,
leaving me completely defeated and defenseless, but there was no way to resist
at this point. Her delicate fingers flitted about beneath my skirt, sending
little bolts of arousing magic into my most sensitive areas as she patiently
rubbed and teased me through my costume. My red gloved hands flexed into fists
and released as the first little ripples of my pending climax began to
overtake me, my skin hot and flushed with arousal as I felt several trickles
of sweat running down my body under my snug fitting suit. Normally I can
resist sensual stimulation for a bit, but my defenses were completely
overwhelmed from the dual chloroforming, coupled with my captor's special
magic powers. My mind was a warm fuzzy mess, the only thoughts running through
it being how wet I was and how good my captor's soft fingertips felt through
my costume, touching me in all the right spots just so.

"Mmmmmnnn.....ooooohnnn....I'm...I'm going...to
cum...so...weak...can't...resist..." I moaned softly and submissively as my
head rested on her shoulder, my eyes softly closed behind my mask, my breath
coming in soft pants as I felt the growing warmth in my quivering stomach move
downwards between my legs. One final soft brush of my captor's fingertips
across the smooth damp fabric of my costume sent the final spark into my
tinderbox as a powerful tingling sensation spread through my defenseless body,
it's epicenter moving to my blossoming flower as my back arched and I exploded
in my costume. "Oooooooooooooooh...." Lightning bolts of pure sensual energy
tore up and down my spine, exploding in my haze filled mind as my costume
absorbed my release, soaking the snug fitting fabric between my legs even
more. My body flexed and bucked, my back arching as my butt clenched together,
all the while my captor continued to softly stroke me, doing her best to draw
every little ounce of energy out of my climax. Finally the tremendous orgasm
spent it's energy, leaving me a limp quivering mess in my captor's arms. All I
could concentrate on was the warm silky fog enveloping my mind, making me feel
sleepy and warm, my entire body feeling like it was distant and made out of
warm butter. Just as my muscles went completely slack I heard a soft chuckle
and then felt the damp cloth clamp down over my mouth and nose, flooding my
senses with more chloroform. "Mmmmbblggg..." Still recovering from my power
draining orgasm I couldn't help but take in a deep breath of the potent fumes
and my body quickly fell slack again as the desire to sleep overpowered
everything else in my brain. "That was quite lovely...now get some rest,
you're going to need it for later..." My captor whispered teasingly in my ear,
but I could barely hear her as everything was slowly shutting down. One last
quiet muffled sigh into the chloroform soaked cloth signaled my defeat, and my
mind spiraled into the comforting warm depths of unconsciousness.
