Black Scorpion Bondage Story by Valereya James, http://valereyajames.deviantart.com/ This is the kind of stake out I can get behind, thought Detective Darcy Walker as she sipped from her cocktail. Usually police stake outs occurred in a cramped van outside a crack house or something like that. This particular stake out took place in a uptown penthouse, and instead of her police uniform, Darcy wore a deep red cocktail dress, the low cut front seemed to barely contain her cleavage while the back of the dress stopped just below her rear end. It's not every day you get to feel sexy and fight crime, thought Darcy, and then mentally corrected herself. As her alter ego, the vigilante Black Scorpion, she combined sexy and toughness quite easily. In fact many people who opposed Black Scorpion used her skimpy outfit as ammo in their arguments against her. Darcy sighed, praying she wouldn't have to use her Black Scorpion out fit on this night. Darcy took another sip from her cocktail and surveyed the room, nothing but the elite of Angel City, dressed in silly costumes, filled the massive penthouse. The penthouse in question belonged to the Mayor of Angel City, who was celebrating his daughter's birthday. Apparently his daughter had been receiving death threats, so of course daddy pulled out Angel City's finest to protect his little baby. But against the insistence of the Angel City PD, the mayor had still kept his daughter's wishes and kept it a costume party. We're like sitting ducks, thought Darcy. You could tell the plain clothes police men in attendance because they had no costumes on. Darcy turned and saw her partner, Detective Steve Rafferty, making his way through the various silly costumes to her. He reached the bar and ordered a drink for himself. "Have you found the birthday girl?" "Oh I'm sure no one will miss her." Steve took a long drink. "What do you mean?" Darcy went on edge, her cop instincts kicking in. "Just look" Steve pointed towards a crowd forming at the other end of the penthouse, Darcy craned her neck to see what everyone was looking at. Darcy tried to hide her distaste at the sight of the mayor's daughter, Becca, dressed like Black Scorpion, dancing on top of a grand piano and pouring champagne on her chest. "She's dressed as Black Scorpion?" Darcy tightened one of her hands into a fist. "Yep, I guess as an eff you to dad" The mayor was steadfastly opposed to a vigilante enforcing the law, and even appointed a new ambitious female D.A to head his witch hunt. "Well this won't be awkward" Darcy hoped daddy put his little girl in her place, bad enough she was making Black Scorpion look bad. Soon enough Mayor Rooney came running out, pulling his drunken daughter off the piano, the Black Scorpion clad brat fought back drunkenly as daddy pulled her into a nearby room. "Well at least we're allowed to drink on the job" laughed Steve as he took another drink. Darcy nodded and ordered another drink, this was indeed a long night. *** About an hour later, Darcy circled the outskirts of the party, staying by a massive window overlooking the city. Her choice of attire had meant that many drunk party goers had attempted to pick her up, so she tried to stay away from the rest of the flock. She stared out the massive window are the city, her city, every night she went out there and cleaned up its streets, not just from the petty crooks, but the super criminals like Gangster Prankster and Breathtaker. What had started as a quest to avenge her father became her daily crusade to make the city a safer place for everyone. Suddenly she was brought of her thoughts by a tap on the shoulder. She jumped a bit and whirled around to find Steve behind her. "Whoa, time to switch to decaf" joked Steve. "Sorry, what's up?" She tried to cover that moment of vulnerability, albeit brief. "The mayor wants us." Steve looked solemn. She followed him deep into the penthouse and they entered a massive office, once again with a window overlooking the city. Mayor Rooney stalked up and down the room, screaming at the army of plainclothes cops in front of him. "You had one job, and you blew it! What do I pay you for!" Darcy could tell that every cop in the room was fighting to restrain themselves, it wasn't like any of them really took this job seriously. "What's going on?" Darcy asked? The mayor paused and glared at her. "You lost my damn daughter!" Darcy swallowed hard. "Lost?" "She's gone, some maniac is out there threatening to kill her and now she's gone?" "Maybe she ran off somewhere." Darcy hoped this would calm the raging politician. "So now she's out there alone! I told you clowns to not let her out of your sight and now look what's happened?" Darcy fought to keep her mouth shut, she wanted more than anything to tell him that he should have done his job as a father and not let her out of his sight. "When was the last time you saw her?" Darcy asked. "I took her in here after her little piano stunt, we had a father/daughter argument and she stormed out, after that I don't know." "I don't care how long it takes you, I want you to find her! If there is one hair on her head out of place, then I'll have all of your badges!" Without waiting for him to finish, Darcy turned and stormed out, followed by Steve. "So now what?" Steve asked. "Let's split up, search the entire building top to bottom, radio when we find her. Though she's probably getting shit faced with her friends." "Agreed, happy hunting." Steve went down a hallway as Darcy continued to the main ball room. Darcy entered the ball room and started scanning the room for the bimbo in the Black Scorpion, but another costume caught her eye. It was a beautiful girl dressed in a skimpy bikini made to look like leaves. Darcy followed the girl with her eyes and saw her join up with another girl dressed in similar attire. The duo started making for the exit when they were joined by a man with green hair and green tattered suit. Greenthumb and his hench girls. They blended in perfectly with the costume party, and if they were here then things were serious. Darcy looked for the nearest exit, hoping to find a private place to change into her costume. *** A few minutes later Darcy emerged from a supply closet in full costume. She had traded the red cocktail dress for a black one piece leotard. Much like the dress, the costume showed her ample cleavage, a scorpion emblem emblazoned on the costume just below her large breasts. The front of her costume was armored. The back of her costume was equally armored and thinned out towards the bottom and turned into a thong exposing her sculpted buns to anyone planning on sneaking up behind her. A black face mask covered the upper half of her face, and she had her long dark hair braided together, resembling a scorpion's tail. Knee high boots and elbow length gloves rounded out the costume. Strong and sexy, smiled Black Scorpion as she stalked off down a hallway after Greenthumb and his girls. Black Scorpion burst through a door way at the end of the hall, Greenthumb whirled around in shock. "Where's the girl, Greenthumb?" Asked Black Scorpion, her hands on her hips. "Black Scorpion!" he seemed shocked. Suddenly the hench girls jumped out from behind Black Scorpion, each one grabbing one of her arms and twisting it behind her back. Black Scorpion let out a cry of shock and tried to twist her arms free, but the henchgirls had a tight grip on her. "Wait, wait, it's not her!" Greenthumb screamed at his cronies. "But you said she was dressed as Black Scorpion?" said one of the henchgirls, a blond. "Yeah but this IS Black Scorpion!" said Greenthumb,annoyed. "Oh" said the confused henchgirl. "Let me go or else!" screamed Black Scorpion. She could not believe they had overpowered her like this. Greenthumb paused and leered at the super heroine. "So what to do with you, our beautiful hostage?" he asked. Black Scorpion defiantly reached out a leg to kick him but Greenthumb stood just out of reach. "Tie her up." He ordered. One of the girls pulled out a length of green cord and began binding Black Scorpion's hands together behind her back. "So what is this about Greenthumb? You were the one writing threatening letters to the mayor's daughter?" "A rather mediocre plan, but I merely meant to extort the mayor into giving me funds, he refused and this party was a perfect place to make good on my promise to take his daughter if he didn't pay up." "Times are that tough that a guy like you has to resort to extortion? You've fallen far." "Times are tough thanks to crime fighters like you, even a villain like me has troubles putting bread on the table." Black Scorpion flashed a cocky smile. "Just doing my job." She said. "What are we going to do with her?" asked one of the henchgirls. Greenthumb stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I don't know, here we are, Angel City's savior helpless in our hands." Black Scorpion tugged at her bonds but the rope held tight. "Enjoy it while you can, soon I'll be carting you off to prison again." "Let's just kill her and go look for the bimbo again." Sneered one of the hench girls. Suddenly Greenthumb's face lit up. "That's it! The mayor's daughter may have ran off but she was dressed as Black Scorpion, and who has just fallen into our clutches!" He motioned at the scantily clad super heroine in his hench girls clutches. Greenthumb cackled and squeezed one of Black Scorpion's cheeks; the super heroine pulled her head back, repulsed. "That is if our shapely captive can keep her pretty little mouth shut." gloated Greenthumb. "Not a chance Greenthumb" said Black Scorpion defiantly. "Very well then" Greenthumb sighed and pulled a white cloth out of his jacket pocket. Black Scorpion pulled her face back, knowing what was coming next. "No wait, now listen Greenthumb we ca-uuumph!" Greenthumb pressed the cloth over Black Scorpion's full, red lips and wrapped it around her head, knotting it at the back. "MMMPH! UMMPH! MMMMPH!" Black Scorpion twisted her head, trying to shake off the gag but Greenthumb had tied it tight. Greenthumb stepped back and gloated over the bound and gagged superheroine, then took out a cell phone and dialed a number. Black Scorpion struggled to pull herself away from his henchgirls, but they had a tight grip on her. "Grrrmph!" Black Scorpion let out a cry of frustration from under the gag, she had been in many situations but this was her first time bound and gagged and she abhorred the feeling of helplessness that came with it. Greenthumb waited, the phone held to his ear. Suddenly his face lit up, someone must have answered. "Ah Mr. Mayor, how are you?" he laughed. "Mmmph!" Black Scorpion fought against her captors, hoping to somehow get the mayor's attention. "Yes well I know who you are, and I believe I left you several letter stating that as to what would happen to your little girl if you didn't pay me. Unintelligible screaming could be heard coming from the phone. "Yes, yes, yell all you want Mr. Mayor. Well the reason I was calling was because guess who I have here with me? Cute little Becca!" "Mmmmph! Grrrmph!" "Sorry Mr. Mayor but I can't let you talk to her, she's sorta lost her voice right now." "Uuumph!" "Well sir, if you ever do want to see her again, alive that is, you will have a briefcase filled with fifty million dollars and a helicopter waiting for me on the roof in one hour. Do not try any funny stuff, if I see a cop, get the hint that anything is wrong, she dies." "Mmmmph!" Greenthumb didn't wait for the mayor to respond and hung up the phone. "Well," he leered at the silenced heroine, "with the gag covering the lower half of your face the mayor will never be able to tell that you aren't his precious daughter." "Mmmph! Ummmph!" "But boss, what about his real daughter?" asked one of the henchwomen. "Well I'm sure she's out having a grand ol' time. And won't daddy be overjoyed when she comes home all fine and dandy.But we have to move fast, because we don't want daddy's little girl coming home and ruining everything. That would mean we trussed up and gagged Ms. Scorpion here for nothing." "What about her?" the henchgirl motioned to Black Scorpion. "Well," said Greenthumb, " we'll find some way of disposing of her. "Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion wished she wasn't gagged so that she could talk her way out of this, either way this situation was looking good. Detective Rafferty stood out on the roof of the penthouse, a fueled helicopter sat waiting on the helipad. Steve checked his watch and frowned. They should be here by now. Greenthumb had called the mayor and told him that he had his daughter hostage, and wanted a helicopter and fifty million dollars. The mayor waited next to him, his fists clutched. Steve and his partner had been assigned to protect the mayor's daughter and failed, and to make things worse, Darcy Walker, Steve's partner, was nowhere to be found. I hope she isn't mixed up in all this he thought anxiously. *** Unknown to Steve, Darcy, or rather her alter-ego, Black Scorpion, was mixed up in it. Greenthumb and his henchgirls had captured Black Scorpion, and as it turned out, the mayor's daughter, the intended target, had been wearing a Black Scorpion costume. With the mayor's daughter nowhere to be found, Greenthumb was using Black Scorpion in her place, tying up and gagging the superheroine so that she couldn't alert the mayor. Right now, Greenthumb, his two henchgirls, and the bound Black Scorpion all waited in a lobby for an elevator to the roof. The party in the penthouse made the rest of the building deserted, perfect for Greenthumb to cart around his captive. Greenthumb leered at the bound and gagged Black Scorpion. "Comfortable, are we?" "GRRRMMMPHH!" "Such language doesn't fit a lady of your stature, though I must say I couldn't have fooled the mayor without you." "MMMMMPPPHH!" Black Scorpion tugged at her bonds and twisted her head, trying to shake off the gag. "Aww, my dear, bondage is such a good look for you!" "UUUUMMMPH!" Black Scorpion glared at him and wished she wasn't gagged, simply so she could unleash a whirlwind of insults at him. A ding emitted from the elevator and the door opened. The henchgirls ushered the helpless heroine inside and Greenthumb followed. Each henchgirl had one of Black Scorpion's arms. The superheroine tugged at her captors but they held a tight grip; combine that with her hands being bound and she felt quite helpless. Black Scorpion's mind raced, trying to find a way out. Dammit why did they have to gag me? I could have easily talked my way out of this? Greenthumb walked behind Black Scorpion and grasped her thonged behind. "It will be a waste to dispose of such a fine specimen..." "Uummph!" No man had ever dared lay a hand on her like that. Greenthumb patted one of her toned butt cheeks. Black Scorpion let out a muffled protest. Once I get out of here, he's dead! The elevators dinged and the doors opened. A cool wind hit Black Scorpion. The roof. Greenthumb stepped out. "Remember Mr.Mayor, no funny business or sweet little Becca gets it!" "Where's my daughter you monster!" Black Scorpion heard the mayor cry. She craned her neck, trying to see out of the elevator. Greenthumb motioned and the henchgirls dragged out Black Scorpion. She was pulled out of the elevator onto a helipad. A helicopter waited and out side of it was the Mayor, suitcase in hand, and- Steve! Black Scorpion's eyes widened! If she could just warn Steve! "Mmmmph! Ummmph! Mmmmmpphhhhhhh! Grrruummmph!" Black Scorpion screamed under the gag. "It's okay honey, daddy will make everything alright!" the mayor said, trying to comfort the woman he thought was his daughter. Steve stared at her, she could see the wheels turning in his head. Black Scorpion pulled against her bonds, but the henchgirls kept a tight grip on her. "Look Mr. Mayor, just hand over the money and your little girl goes free." Greenthumb said. "Give me my daughter first!" "Uh uh, give me the money. Once I know I'm safely away, then I'll tell you where you can find her." Black Scorpion knew this was a bluff. Becca, the mayor's real daughter, was probably out having a good time with friends. She'll come home and her daddy will be overjoyed to see her. Meanwhile, Greenthumb will get away with the money and probably kill Black Scorpion. Black Scorpion shot a pleading look at Steve. "Uuuumph! Mmmmph!" Dammit! After this I am never letting another person gag me again! Steve's hand went to his hip. He sensed something was up. "Well Mr. Mayor, give over the money and we'll all get what we want." gloated Greenthumb. The Mayor walked over, briefcase in hand. Suddenly Black Scorpion saw her way out. The mayor held out the briefcase when Black Scorpion shot out a foot and kicked the briefcase out of his hand. In a space of seconds, Greenthumb forgot about his hostage and dived after it. Steve drew his weapon. One henchgirl left Black Scorpion's side to help her boss, leaving the other to manage Black Scorpion. Idiots should have bound my feet, but they needed me walking! Black Scorpion pulled forward and tugged away from the henchgirl, wheeling around and delivering a sharp kick to her gut. Steve ran up behind Black Scorpion and leveled his gun at the henchgirl. "Freeze!" He shouted. Suddenly Greenthumb came up behind him and smacked him with the briefcase. Steve fell to his knees and Greenthumb kicked the gun out of his hand. The other henchgirl went to grab Black Scorpion but she delivered a vicious head butt, knocking the henchgirl back. With Steve on his knees Greenthumb aimed a kick towards his head. Steve was able to catch his leg and threw Greenthumb to the floor. As he got up the other henchgirl approached him. "You should have just stayed down handsome." She said with a sly smile. He raised his fists but she slammed two swift kicks to his gut that made him double over. She then spun around and kicked him between his legs, making him slump to the floor with a scream of pain. Black Scorpion whirled around to see Steve laying on the floor and henchgirl and Greenthumb approaching. "It seems I should have tied your feet too" Greenthumb said through gritted teeth. "Uuummmph!" Black Scorpion would have had a witty comeback, if not for the gag. Greenthumb charged forward and Black Scorpion bent over, smacking him in the gut with her shoulder. The henchgirl came forward and Black Scorpion slided over the ground and swiped out a shapely leg. The henchgirl tripped over the leg and tumbled forward, hitting into the other henchgirl as she was getting up. Both henchgirls tumbled forward, hit a guard rail, and went over it and off the roof. "Nooo!" Greenthumb screamed as both his henchgirls fell to certain death. He started to get to his feet when Black Scorpion delivered a kick to his face, dazing him. Steve rushed over and cuffed Greenthumb. The Mayor watched, shocked. "Becca..." Mayor stared, not believing what he just saw. Steve pulled Black Scorpion to her feet and pulled down the gag. "I'm not Becca." Steve and the Mayor's jaw dropped. "Black Scorpion?" asked Steve. "Greenthumb noticed that Becca was dressed as me hoped he could pass me off as her so he could collect the ransom." "What have you done with my daughter?" demanded the mayor. "Nothing, she's out having a good time with friends." The mayor stared at her, speechless. Steve untied her hands. Steve pulled Greenthumb to his feet. Greenthumb glared at Black Scorpion. "You! Do you even feel anything for just killing those two girls?" "You three were going to kill me as soon as you got away." "Oh so you think you're allowed to kill people but we aren't? Oh Black Scorpion, you're just as bad as us." "Okay, let's go" Steve started dragging Greenthumb away. He shot a warning glance at Black Scorpion. "Don't go anywhere." He ordered. As a vigilante, Black Scorpion was wanted. "Someone will teach you a lesson Black Scorpion! You are just as bad as the people you bring in!" Steve carried Greenthumb into the elevator as Black Scorpion turned away, ignoring Greenthumb's warning. As her alter ego, the Black Scorpion, detective Darcy Walker had been in some tough situations. She had found herself close to certain death many times, faced down the barrels of many guns, and slipped out of many seemingly no win situations, but she would gladly take any of them over what lied before her. Damn routine dentist appointments! Darcy mentally cursed Angel City Police Departments insistence on getting your teeth checked yearly. Darcy had been wary of the dentist since she was a child, and that fear still stood with her as an adult. She also didn't see the point of having clean teeth, when you're a cop, pearly whites are the least of your worries. Darcy sat on edge in the waiting room, starring a hole through the wooden door at the other side of the room, where the dentist and his instruments awaited. The shapely, well endowed, red head cop picked up a magazine and pretended to leaf through, trying to hide her nervousness. Get a grip Darcy, just last week you were almost fed to a man eating plant! She tried to calm herself, though part of her wanted to face the man eating plant again over facing the dentist. She threw down the magazine and looked up at the television suspended from the wall diagonal from her. Though when she looked at the television, her mood only worsened. News footage was being shown from the attempted kidnapping of the mayor's daughter. Greenthumb, a local supervillain, and his two henchgirls had come to the mayor's costume party to kidnap his daughter for ransom. Darcy and her partner Steve had been dispatched to protect the girl but she had slipped away. Darcy's biggest mistake was suiting up in her Black Scorpion costume when she attempted to look for the girl, because the mayor's daughter was also dressed as Black Scorpion. Greenthumb and his girls had found Black Scorpion, bound and gagged her, and tried to pass her off as the mayor's daughter as a way to still collect the ransom. Black Scorpion had escaped but the methods behind her escape had made big press. Someone on a neighboring building had noticed the commotion and grabbed a camera. That night footage of Black Scorpion's escape hit the 'net, particularly Black Scorpion causing Greenthumb's henchgirls to fall off the helipad to their deaths. Darcy glared at the television, once again seeing her in her Black Scorpion costume, bound and gagged, knocking over one of the scantily clad henchgirls into the other. Both tumbled back, hit a guard rail, and went over it and off the building. The footage replayed and then cut to Cheryl Yates, Angel City's new crusading D.A, who was giving a press conference, and as usual, it meant bad news. Since her election last November, Yates had made her number one priority catching Black Scorpion. " Those two women fell thirty stories to their deaths! Yes they were criminals, but they deserved a fair trial like everyone else! Who appointed Black Scorpion judge, jury, and executioner?" screamed Yates. Yates had eaten up the footage. "Yes our city is a cesspool of crime, but what is the cause? Not our brave police force! They are doing what our tax payer dollars are paying them to do, but how are they meant to up hold justice when vigilantes like Black Scorpion are running around disregarding the law and our values at every turn? Not only is she taking the law into her own hands, but she promotes violence with her blatant disregard for the lives of the criminals she wants to bring to justice, and her "costume" is a joke meant to promote even more immoral behavior." Darcy sighed, thankfully most of the police force, including her own partner Steve Rafferty, appreciated Black Scorpion's attempts to clean up their streets. Rumors were swirling that Yates wanted to form a massive task force to bring in Black Scorpion, which is another problem Darcy didn't want. She glared at Yates yapping away on the television, the new district attorney could be considered attractive if she wasn't a cold bitch, and her look accentuated that. Yates had her blond hair tied back in a pony tail, thin glasses, and a conservative but form fitting pants suit. Darcy compared this look to her own style, her flowing red hair down around her shoulders, skirt stopping above her knees, and black blouse, low cut to accentuate her amble bosom. It was nothing compared to her Black Scorpion outfit. At some point Darcy would have to face the problem Yates was creating, but not now. Darcy had left her service revolver at home and felt naked without it, even more so now. At the front desk, the pretty receptionist checked her appointment book. "Walker?" The receptionist looked out into the waiting room. Darcy stiffened. "Walker? You're up next?" Darcy took a deep breath and stood. The receptionist smiled at her. "Right through that door" She pointed at the wooden door that Darcy had been so intently fixated on. Darcy nodded, grabbed her purse and strolled to the ominous door. She reached it and gripped the handle, took a deep breath, and turned it. The interior of the room looked like any other dentists office, the chair sat in the middle of the room, the giant light hovering over it. The dentist stood at the sink at the far end of the room with his back to her. "I'll be right with you detective Walker, just take a seat." he said as the water ran. Darcy set her purse down and approached the massive chair, sitting down but remained upright. A pretty nurse walked in and smiled at Darcy. "Relax Ms. Walker and lean back, this will be over soon enough" Right, nothing to be worried about, Darcy took a breath and lay back in the chair, staring up at the ceiling. The chair felt soft, comfy, she placed her arms on the rests at either side of the chair. "Well, let's get started" the dentists voice came from somewhere behind her. Suddenly metal clamps rose up from either side of her. Before she could blink they wrapped themselves around each of her arms and her feet, pinning her down to the chair. "What is this?" Darcy screamed, tugging at her bound limbs but it was no use, the clamps held them tight. The dentist loomed over her and she saw his face for the first time. Gangster Prankster! He wore the traditional white medical shirt, but still wore his trademark clown makeup. "Gangster Prankster!" "Surprise!" Shouted the grinning felon. Darcy opened her mouth to scream but the Prankster anticipated this, shoving a white cloth into her gaping mouth. "Ummph! Mmmph!" Darcy raised her head and attempted to spit out the gag. The nurse came at her with a white scarf outstretched and pressed it against Darcy's mouth, forcing the gag back in. Still holding the scarf, the nurse pulled it tight behind the head rest and tied it behind the chair, pulling Darcy's head back against the chair while securing the cloth in Darcy's mouth. "Why thank you nurse, I had a feeling this patient would need some sedation!" "Grrmph! Mmmph!" Darcy struggled to break free of the metal bonds, the scarf held her head tight against the chair, making it difficult for her to even move. Gangster Prankster took a step back and savored the sight of the bound and gagged detective. "I was actually hoping to get Detective Rafferty, seeing how Black Scorpion is sweet on him, but I'll settle for his partner." "Mmmmph!" "But sadly this is nothing personal, I don't want you or Rafferty, I want Black Scorpion." Darcy's eyes widened, Prankster was using her as bait for her own alter ego. "Grrrmph! Ummph! Mmmm! Mmmph!" If only she wasn't gagged, then she could talk her way out of this. "See, I have a little surprise planned for Black Scorpion, and how else to get her attention than killing a cop? Especially her boyfriend's partner." The prankster giggled with sadistic glee He was going to kill her! "Mmmmph! Ummmph!" Darcy struggled, trying to shake off the gag, but it was secured tightly. "Nurse, do we have the note?" The nurse walked over and placed an envelope in Gangster Prankster's hands. "This is just a little message for Black Scorpion, I'm sure you'll see that she gets it." Laughed the clown, he leaned forward and slid the envelope down Darcy's blouse. The gagged detective glared at the envelope sticking out of her cleavage. Gangster Prankster took a step back and studied his helpless captive alongside his nurse henchwoman. "Mmmph! Ummph! Mmmph!" Darcy struggled against her bonds. "What's the diagnosis doctor?" asked the nurse with a sadistic smile on her face. "That tooth has to come out, I think I'm going to have to drill" Darcy's eyes widened. "Ummmph!" The nurse walked out of Darcy's eye line, and then returned a moment later with a massive power drill. At the sight of this, Darcy's struggles increased, she tore at the metal clamps holding down her hands and tried to slide the gag off. The nurse placed the power drill into Gangster Prankster's outstretched hand. "UMMMMPH!" Darcy squirmed helplessly in the dentist's chair. Gangster Prankster switched on the drill, the loud whirring noise deafening. Prankster loomed over her and held the swirling drill over her gagged mouth, her struggles ceased as she glued her eyes to the spinning metal at the end of the drill. Gangster Prankster jumped onto the chair and straddled Darcy, bringing the drill closer. "Doctor... is everything alright in there?" The voice came from the other side of the door, the front desk receptionist! Gangter Prankster paused, turning off the drill. "Everything is fine, no worries" He said in his most professional sounding voice. "Ummph!" Darcy tried to scream under the gag, desperate to get the receptionists attention. "Its fine, the patient is just a little antsy that's all." "May I come in, I heard strange noises." The receptionist sensed something was up. "Mmmph!" Darcy couldn't believe her fate was in the hands of a dental receptionist. "It's ok, now please go away!" Prankster was getting impatient, looking to finish off the helpless detective. Darcy decided she had to take advantage of this distraction somehow and brought one of her knees up into Gangster Prankster's groin. He let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground. His henchwoman/nurse ran to his side, concerned for her bosses welfare. "Doctor what happened?" "Go away!" Gangster Prankster screamed. Darcy gave her head a sharp twist, trying to shake off the gag. As the detective struggled, the nurse was helping Gangster Prankster to his feet. "Oh, you are really going to pay for that!" He said through gritted teeth. Darcy twisted her head upwards and the gag fell off, she quickly spit out the cloth in her mouth. "Someone call the police! We have a criminal in here!" Darcy screamed Gangster Prankster and his nurse rushed over to her, the nurse grabbed the cloth and stuffed it back into Darcy's mouth, clamping her hand over it to keep her from spitting it back out. Gangster Prankster grabbed the drill again. "I guess I'll have to make this quick" His smile was replaced with an angry sneer. He switched the drill on when suddenly the door burst open and two armed security guards burst in. Gangster Prankster wheeled around to face them. "Put down the weapon!" One screamed. Gangster Prankster ignored the guards and shoved the drill at Darcy's face. Darcy closed her eyes, anticipating what was to come next. A shot rang out and blood splattered Darcy's face. But not her own. She opened her eyes to see Gangster Prankster drop the drill, the arm that once held it now hung limp and bloody at his side. The nurse screamed in rage and charged one of the guards, who was anticipating this and pepper sprayed her. As the nurse fell screaming and clutching her face, the other guard pulled the bleeding Gangster Prankster off of Darcy and started cuffing him. Darcy spit out the gag and stared in shock at the scene before her. *** Hours Later, Darcy sat at her desk at Angel City Police Headquarters, her head buried in her hands. "Christ, if I had the day you had I wouldn't even be here". Darcy looked up to see her partner, Steve Rafferty standing over her. "Yeah, well I'm gonna think about it just as much at home, so I may as well get paid for it." Rafferty took a seat at the edge of her desk. "Wanna talk about it?" "He wanted to kill me to draw out Black Scorpion." She motioned to the letter on her desk. "What does it say?" "Be at the clock tower at midnight or more cops will die, since we have him now I don't think that meeting is still in effect." "But what would make him do this now? Call her out like this?" "He wanted it to be you." Rafferty stiffened at this news. "I don't know" shrugged Darcy, "he has never made sense" She looked up at a television sitting on the far end of the office, Cheryl Yates was giving another press conference. "An officer nearly lost her life today in an attempt to draw out Black Scorpion, further proof that this vigilante is more of a risk to our city than a savior" Darcy leaned back in her chair. "More good news" she muttered. "Why don't you go home, get some sleep" Darcy paused, Steve was right, she was no help here. The sound of the phone ringing woke Darcy from a deep, dreamless sleep. She rolled over, kicking off the covers and grabbed the phone. "Hello" she grumbled. "Darcy" it was Steve, "Did you see the news?" "What news?" "D.A. Yates has been kidnapped; it's all over the news!" Darcy sat up, all signs of grogginess gone. She flicked on her bed side light and grabbed the remote, flicking on the television. It was a newscast about the kidnapping, a reporter stood in front of Yates' house. "Police received a 911 call from the Yates residence saying that someone had forced her way into her home, police were dispatched to the scene to find all of Yates' body guards killed and one very disturbing clue. Now we must warn our viewers that this footage could be disturbing." It cut to what seemed like footage from security cameras around the Yates home. Darcy's eyes narrowed at the image before her. Black Scorpion attacking Yates' body guards. "What do you think?" asked Steve over the phone. "I'll call you back." Darcy hung up the phone and tossed it onto the bed. Part of her wanted to say that what happened earlier with Gangster Prankster and Yates being kidnapped were all a big coincidence, but she knew they were connected somehow. And she knew she had to check out the clocktower now. When Darcy had gotten home she hadn't even taken off her work clothes, now she stripped off her blouse exposing her black bra. She then quickly shed her skirt, revealing a black thong. It's time for Black Scorpion to go to work. *** >>From the roof top of a nearby building, Black Scorpion surveyed the historic Angel City Clock Tower. The Tower, a historic landmark, rose up above the surrounding neighborhood, the massive hands on its face showed the time as 11:30. Looks normal so far, thought Black Scorpion as she lowered her binoculars and placed them back in the belt that hung around her hips. Black Scorpions costume was anything but modest, a dark mask covered the upper half of her face and her long hair was braided behind it, intentionally resembling a scorpion's tale. Boots ran up to her knees, which were covered by protective pads, gloves ran up to her elbows, which were also padded. But it was what covered the rest of her body that caused such a stir, it resembled a one piece black bathing suit, low cut and exposing plenty of cleavage, the symbol of a scorpion emblazoned on it just below her breasts. The front and back of the suit was armored, though most people who went to attack her from behind found themselves distracted by her sculpted, thong clad rear end. D.A Yates used the suit as further fuel for her crusade against Black Scorpion, but Darcy didn't mind and in fact found the suit quite liberating. Black Scorpion staked out the clock tower until exactly midnight and saw no sign of a disturbance. Curious, she decided to go check it out against her better instincts, which warned her of a trap. Within a few minutes, Black Scorpion stood in front of the massive face of the clock tower on edge. The night was quiet, too quiet. The super heroine looked around her, ready for something to pop out. Maybe nothing will happen, seeing how Gangster Prankster is in jail, she thought. But that would be getting off too easy, she knew something was up. Suddenly she felt a sharp prick in her backside, Black Scorpion whirled around to see a dart of some sort sticking out of her left butt cheek. Before she could even process it, her vision began to blur. Oh no! Her legs gave out beneath her and she collapsed to the ground. She struggled to keep conscious but was fading fast. She looked up and saw a dark figure looming over her, and then everything went black. *** Cheryl Yates had given up screaming for help a long time ago. After the house invasion she had woken up in pitch black; she screamed and pounded on the walls for what seemed like hours but nothing answered her cries. Damn you Black Scorpion! Back at her place everything seemed peaceful when suddenly the burglar alarm went off and Yates went down stairs and the vigilante beating the tar out of her body guards. Yates frantically called 911 but then felt a sharp blow at the back of her skull, and hours later woke up in this cell of some sort. Now Yates sat at what felt like a cot of some sort, confident that her captors would make their presence known soon enough. When they do, I'm going to give them a piece of my mind. About an hour later she heard what sounded like a door being unlocked, and then a massive metal door was opened at the far end of the room, a hulking figure filling the door way. "Time to go, Ms. Yates" the voice was metallic, artificial sounding. Breathtaker! Yates recognized the voice from police footage, a mad scientist forced to wear a breathing apparatus to keep him alive. The armored super villain strolled into the cell, grabbing Yates roughly by the shoulder. "I said let's go" he ordered. "What is this all about?" She asked. "You have a court date" he laughed and forced her out of the room. Yates struggled out of the cell and immediately recognized where she was: Angel City Maximum Security Penitentiary. All of the cell doors were wide open, the criminals strolling through the jail like it was nothing. "What happened here?" asked Yates, wide eyed. "The inmates are running the show now" Said Breathtaker, shoving the D.A forward. As she walked, Yates surveyed the jail. There was no sign of the guards or any administrator, garbage, pieces of rock, and other debris covered the floor. There must have been a massive struggle before the inmates took over. "Here comes your client now" said Breathtaker. Yates looked down the hall to see two massive criminals walking down the hall, dragging a struggling prisoner by the feet. As they neared, Yates could make out the knee high black boot, the shapely bare legs. Black Scorpion! The super heroine struggled and kicked violently but the muscle bound inmates kept their grip as they dragged her across the floor. Black Scorpion's upper half was covered in a straight jacket and she was tightly gagged by a thick white cloth. "Mmmph! Mmmph! Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion's muffled cries grew louder as her captors grew closer. They passed Yates and Black Scorpion's struggles ceased as her eyes widened in shock or anger when she saw Yates along side Breathtaker. "You will be defending Black Scorpion in court later today." "Grrrrummmph!" Black Scorpion growled under the gag as the guards continued to drag the bound heroine down the hall. *** Black Scorpion sat in the prison's cafeteria, now gutted and made up to look like a twisted court room of some sorts, and the presiding judge: Gangster Prankster. Next to Black Scorpion sat a shaky Cheryl Yates. "Please tell me you'll get us out of this" mumbled the terrified D.A. "I was going to ask you the same question." Said Black Scorpion, her gag had been removed as soon as they reached the faux-courtroom, though she was still bound in the straightjacket. The jury was made up of a who's who of her arch enemies, Aerobicide and Aftershock to name a few. Gangster Prankster was the judge, Breathtaker seemed to be the prosecuting attorney. Greenthumb stood next to the judge's seat, seemingly the bailiff in this twisted court. "Well now that the court is in order, why don't we have the key witness take the stand. " laughed Gangster Prankster. Aerobicide, a twisted fitness model,walked over to where Yates and Black Scorpion were seated, pulled Black Scorpion to her feet, and escorted her over to the bench next to Gangster Prankster. "Black Scorpion, how do you plead?" demanded Breathtaker. "Don't patronize me with this farce of our legal system" sneered Black Scorpion. "But do you not spit in the face of that very system by taking the law into your own hands?" asked Breathtaker. "What I do keeps scum like you off the streets." said Black Scorpion. "But it was not you who apprehended Gangster Prankster today, it was the security guards at the office. If not for those brave men, a police officer would have died as a way to bait you out." Black Scorpion kicked herself, she had to control her temper because she was playing right into her enemy's hands. "After the death of my two beautiful assistants, we decided that you needed to answer to our justice" gloated Greenthumb. "So that's what this was about? Prankster allowed himself to be caught to complete this joke you're putting on right now?" >>From his stool above her, Gangster Prankster giggled. "Gangster Prankster intended to get caught earlier, but the police officer's death was meant to draw you to the Clock Tower, though you went there any way, as we figured." "And what about that attack at Yates' home?" Aerobicide raised her hand. "You can easily get a Black Scorpion costume at any costume place" she smiled. "And how long do you think you can keep this up? How long before someone notices you've taken over the prison?" "We have enough time" gloated Breathtaker. "I doubt that, a swat team is probably already assembling on the roof, you really didn't think this plan through did you?" Breathtaker glared at you. "You have myself and a public figure hostage, and I'm a criminal too! They won't go light on you for this. Hell, they'll crucify you." Gangster Prankster slammed his gavel down. "Order in the court!" "You think this is fun and games now, but you're wasting precious time you could have getting away, instead you're hear playing dress up!" "I said order!" yelled Gangster Prankster. "No further questions." Stammered Breathtaker. "In fact this is the best plan you have? Getting a woman that hates me to defend me out of some twisted sense of irony? You could have just killed me earlier." "That will be all from the witness" yelled Breathtaker. "You guys have really lost your touch, I think it's time to hang up your guns" Black Scorpion had them where she wanted, if she planted the seeds right, dissent among them would be imminent. "Permission treat the witness as hostile!" Breathtaker stomped the ground in rage. "Permission granted!" said Gangster Prankster and motioned to Aerobicide. The girl smiled and pulled a white cloth from her bra and walked over to Black Scorpion. "Hostile, this isn't even a real court, this is just sad!" Aerobicide held out the white cloth in front of Black Scorpion's face "Why don't you let me go now and I'll see tha-ummmmph!" The henchgirl wrapped the cloth around Black Scorpion's mouth, wrapping it around and tying it at the back of her neck, gagging her once again. "Mmmph!" Black Scorpion glared at the girl as she finished tying the gag. "Sorry sis, you should have stayed quiet, but now you have no choice" Aerobicide shrugged. "Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion tried to shake off the gag but it was tied too tightly. Aerobicide then pulled D.A Yates from her seat and stood her in front of the gagged heroine. "Do you have any questions for the witness?" Gloated Gangster Prankster. "Umm, none... your honor" Yates said nervously. "I'm sure you must have some, she is a repeat offender after all" said Prankster. "Uuuumph!" Black Scorpion seethed, trying to shake off the gag. "Do you want to say something, my dear?" Gangster Prankster looked at his helpless nemesis. "Mmmmph! MMMMMPPPHHH!" Black Scorpion stared daggers into him. "Nothing to say in your defense? You murdered two girls earlier this week and you have nothing to say?" "MMMMMPPPH!" "Hmm, our defendant condemns herself with her silence" "UUUUUMMMPH!" "Well, next witness!" Aerobicide pulled the helpless heroine to her feet and roughly dragged her back to her chair, Yates followed. "Did anyone tell you bondage is a good look for you?"said Aerobicide with a wink. "Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion glared at her. Greenthumb took the stand. "Now Greenthumb, what was it that Black Scorpion did to you?" asked Breathtaker. "I'm no angel," said Greenthumb "but with Black Scorpion always messing up my plans, it's hard for a criminal to hold down a living in this town. I was forced to hold the mayor for ransom. Not only was an innocent life put in danger, but Black Scorpion herself got involved and it led to the deaths of two of my favorite henchgirls" "Mmmmph! Ummmph!' was Black Scorpion's muffled protest Gangster Prankster looked at the gagged, straight-jacketed superheroine. "Well I think I've made my judgment. Black Scorpion, you are a danger to yourself, this city, and us. " He slammed his gavel " and my sentence is... death!" Criminals all around starting applauding. Black Scorpion screamed in frustration under her gag. Yates looked at her nervously. This would not end well for either of them. Death The word rang through Black Scorpion's head like a bell. What sick punishment did her greatest villains have in store for her? A few days ago, Black Scorpion had interfered when Greenthumb, one of her many enemies, had attempted to kidnap the mayor's daughter for ransom. The plan was foiled, but Greenthumb's two henchgirls had been killed in the battle. Black Scorpion had thought nothing of it but Greenthumb had taken it personal. In prison, Greenthumb and her other enemies had formed a plan. They took over the prison and kidnapped D.A. Yates, an outspoken Black Scorpion opponent, and made it look like Black Scorpion did it. Then they abducted Black Scorpion herself and subjected her to a twisted trial, with Yates as her defense. Yates and Black Scorpion now sat in one of the many cells, awaiting their sentence. Yates, her hands bound behind her back, sat across the cell from Black Scorpion, starring at her. "So any plans for how we get out of here?" Black Scorpion glared at Yates, thankful that her captures had once again removed her gag, though she was still bound in the straight jacket. "I didn't think this city needed my help" sneered Black Scorpion. "Don't get petty with me. Those mad men are going to kill us unless you get us out of here" "Well I'm working on it. I'm open to suggestions" "Oh don't get me started, you're the reason we're in this mess!" "Me?" "You had to kill Greenthumb's henchgirls and piss him off! Now look!" "Yeah, I really meant to kick those girls off a roof!" Yates paused, staring at Black Scorpion. "I was a hostage" said Black Scorpion "They were going to pass me off as the mayor's daughter and then kill me once they had the ransom money. I was defending myself, I didn't mean to get anyone killed" Yates stopped, not knowing where to go. "Look I'm sorry, just get us out of here and I'll retract everything I said" Black Scorpion stared at Yates. "It's a start" Yates let out a relieved smile. They heard the door to their cell unlock, both women stiffened. The massive steel door opened and Breathtaker, Aerobicide, and Greenthumb entered. The villains stopped and pulled both women to their feet. "Well, what are you going to do with us?" asked Black Scorpion. "Oh it's going to be good" Greenthumb said and nodded to Breathtaker, who leveled a massive weapon at her. Aerobicide went behind the superheroine and started undoing the straight jacket, much to Black Scorpion's surprise. Aerobicide roughly pulled the staight jacket off Black Scorpion and stepped back. Black Scorpion considered making a move when she saw the massive gun Breathtaker had leveled at her. "No funny stuff Ms.Scorpion or Breathtaker will make you dust" threatened Greenthumb, "Now strip!" "What?" asked Black Scorpion. "Take off your costume!" Greenthumb ordered. "Why?" Black Scorpion was getting a bad feeling. "We're gonna kill you." sneered Greenthumb and he turned to Yates. "You take off your clothes too." Yates swallowed nervously. "Now!" Aerobicide untied Yates' hands and roughly tore off the D.A's jacket. Yates nervously undid the buttons on her shirt and took it off, revealing a pink bra and surprisingly large breasts. Yates stopped and stared at Greenthumb. "The skirt too honey!" Yates swallowed and quickly lowered her skirt, revealing a matching pink thong. "What is this?" asked Black Scorpion again. "See, before we kill you, we're going to ruin you. Aerobicide here is going to don your costume and kill Yates, broadcasting it on the web. The story is that Black Scorpion lost it, and took out Yates, her most outspoken critic." "And what about me?" asked Black Scorpion. "We'll kill your somewhere privately, where we don't have to worry about police bursting in at any moment." Yates started at Black Scorpion nervously. Black Scorpion's mind raced, thinking of a way out of this. "Now... strip!" Breathtaker leveled his weapon at Black Scorpion. Black Scorpion knew she had no other choice but to play along. She reached behind her, ready to unzip her suit when suddenly Gangster Prankster walked in. The criminals stopped and stared at him. "We need to delay the proceedings, we have a problem" said the clown. "What?" demanded Greenthumb. "There's a prisoner transfer en route as we speak. Once they see how we've made this place into our playground, then it's all over." "So just kill them when they get here!" "That will alert the police and we'll have to battle an army! We need to have to film the frame out get out of here with Black Scorpion, which we can't do with a swat team outside." Greenthumb growled in frustration and looked at his two hostages. "Looks like you ladies get some more time." Both let out a sigh of relief. "I have some boys cleaning up the halls, others are posing as guards. We need to get criminals back in the cells and make it look passable until they drop off the transfer" "And what about them?" Aerobicide motioned to Black Scorpion and Yates. "We'll have to stash them somewhere where they won't get noticed" cackled Gangster Prankster. Black Scorpion started brainstorming for a way out. This was a distraction that was buying them precious time, time she could use to escape. *** Later, Black Scorpion and Yates were led down the hall by Aerobicide and Greenthumb. The rubble had been cleaned away and all empty cells were now occupied, it seemed like a riot had never even occurred. Yates looked around nervously as prisoners shouted cat calls and admired her in her lingerie. Black Scorpion still hadn't thought of a way out. Time was running out. They stopped and Aerobicide opened a door revealing a store room. Greenthumb came up behind Black Scorpion and crossed her hands behind her, wrapping something that felt like tape around them. Aerobicide starting doing the same to Yates. "Listen, I'm powerful, I'm rich, I can help you!" Yates pleaded. Black Scorpion looked to see that Aerobicide was bind Yates with medical gauze, which was probably what Greenthumb was using on her. "I can help you escape, see that you get out of the country safely, establish new i-MMMMPPPHHHH!" Aerobicide cut the D.A. off by pressing the gauze over her lips and wrapping it around her head. "Sorry, we gotta keep you quiet." said Aerobicide. "MMMMPPPH!" Greenthumb finished using the gauze on Black Scorpion's hands. Before she could even think, the medical gauze was pressed over her lips. Greenthumb started wrapping it around her mouth too. "How many times have I seen you bound and gagged now?" Greenthumb cackled. "Mmmmph!" the gauze held Black Scorpions lips tightly together. Both super-villains finished gagging their hostages and took a step back to admire their work. Thick layers of gauze covered both the bottom of both women's faces, effectively silencing them, though Yates still protested under her gag. The supervillains forced both hostages into the store room and sat them in front of a shelf. Greenthumb placed Black Scorpion at the opposite end of the shelf and wrapped her feet together, and Aerobicide did the same to a heavily protesting Yates. "Now you ladies make yourself comfy and we'll be back to collect once this all blows over." Black Scorpion glared at her captors while Yates still mumbled under her gag. Aerobicide and Greenthumb stepped out of the store room and shut the door, locking it. "MMMMMMMPHHH! HMMMMPHHH! UMMMMPHHH!" Yates screamed under her gag. "MMMMMMMPPPPH!" was Black Scorpion's annoyed reply. "UUUUUUMMMMPH!MMMMMPPPH! MMMMMMMMPH! MMMPH!" Yates continued on. "GRRRRUUUUMMMPPH!" Black Scorpion hoped Yates would get the message. Yates looked over at Black Scorpion and saw her glaring eyes and shut up, getting the message. With quiet to think. Black Scorpion thought of a way out. Once they got out of the store room, they would need to do something about the prisoners... The prisoner pacification system! Being a cop, Black Scorpion knew that the prison had a panic switch in the Ward's office. If the switch was pressed, a gas would be released that would knock out anyone outside of the office. It was a precaution used in case of a riot. It would work! Now she just needed to get out of this store room. Suddenly the shelf she was leaning on began to shake violently. Black Scorpion looked over and saw Yates rubbing her bound hands against the shelf, hoping to rip through the gauze. Smart move. Suddenly a box hit her on the head. Black Scorpion looked up to see that several items on the top of the shelf were teetering on the edge thanks to the shelf shaking. "Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion tried to warn Yates just as a bucket hit her on the head. "GRRRRUUMMPH!" Black Scorpion let out a frustrated moan just as another box hit her on the head. Yates ignored her cries and continued rubbing her hands against the shelf. "MMMMPH!" Black Scorpion tried to get Yates' attention, but the D.A. kept working on her bonds. Another box hit Black Scorpion on the head. "Mmmmmph! Grruuuumph! Mmmmmph!" Black Scorpion cursed the gauze gagging her. suddenly a large bottle of water fell off the shelf and spilled all over Black Scorpion's head, drenching her. "UUUUMMMMPH!MMMMPH!" Black Scorpion glared at Yates when something large and heavy fell off the shelf and hit her in the head. The edges of Black Scorpion's vison blurred, she fought to cling to consciousness. "Mmmmph.... uuummmmph...mmmm...." Black Scorpion weakly protested under the gag when something else smacked her in the head. Everything went dark. Black Scorpion slowly started to come to, the fog lifting from her head. What happened? Black Scorpion shook her head, trying to clear the cobwebs. "Mmmm..." She tried to open her mouth but felt the sticky medical gauze holding it shut. Gagged! She remembered being bound and lead into the store room with... District Attorney Yates! Black Scorpion suddenly realized the shelf she was leaning against was still shaking. Apparently she had only lost consciousness for a few minutes. Yates, bound and gagged and in her underwear, was still rubbing her bound wrists against the shelf, trying to undo the gauze that bound her. Black Scorpion shook her head again, trying to clear her vision. She glared at the oblivious Yates, trying to prevent her from dropping something else on her head. "MMMMMMPPPH!" Yates continued working away at her bonds, then Black Scorpion looked down at Yates' hands. The gauze was almost off. Black Scorpion paused, her respect for Yates grew a bit. The lingerie clad district attorney gave her hands one more tug and the gauze fell off. Yates reached down and pulled the gauze off her feet and then tore away the gauze gagging her. "Ummmph!Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion kicked her bound feet, trying to get Yates' attention. Yates stood up and looked at the helpless superheroine. "Ummmph! Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion's eyes widened. This woman, her former enemy, would be her savior. Yates took a step towards Black Scorpion, then paused. "Ummmph! Mmmmph!" Black Scorpion pleaded, placing herself at Yates' mercy. Yates took a step back and turned her back on Black Scorpion. Black Scorpion glared at Yates. "MMMMMMPPPPHHH!" She screamed in anger under the gag. Yates nervously opened the store room door and peeked out. Satisfied the coast was clear, she opened it wider and took another look at Black Scorpion. "Mmmmmph!Ummmph!" Yates gave her a nervous nod and ran out, closing the door behind her. "MMMMMPPPPH!GRRRRRRUUUUMMMPH!UMMMGRRRUUUPMMMPH!" Black Scorpion moaned, kicking the ground in frustration. Abandoned. Left to the mercy of her enemies. She let out a few more muffled screams of rage and quieted down, resting against the shelf, defeated. Her enemies would unmask and kill her, while that snake D.A got away. Wait a minute, if Yates could escape, then so could she! Black Scorpion would not let her enemies, or Yates, win. Black Scorpion arced her body and pressed her bound hands against a corner of the shelf and started rubbing them up and down. Black Scorpion arced her body up and down, pressing her hands to the shelf. She didn't know how much time she had, but it couldn't be much. She could already feel the thick gauze wearing slowly. First her hands and then she would take off this damn gag. She continued rubbing away, getting closer and closer each time. She quickenend the pace, moving her body up and down, rubbing her hands up and down. Closer and closer. >>From across the room, someone turned the doorknob to the store room. Black Scorpion stopped, her heart racing. Had Yates come back? The door opened and in stepped... Breathtaker and Aerobicide! Both supervillains rushed in as soon as they noticed that Black Scorpion was alone. "Where's the D.A bitch?" screamed Greenthumb. "UmmUmmmMmmm..." was Black Scorpion's muffled response. Aerobicide looked around the room. "Looks like she forgot something" Aerobicide smiled at Black Scorpion. "This isn't good, we have to stop her or she'll bring the cops down on us! Get her ready while I go warn the others!" Greenthumb ordered and ran out of the room. Aerobicide was left along with Black Scorpion. She stepped forward and loomed over the helpless heroine. "Well, here we are, Black Scorpion." "Ummmmm!" "Sorry, couldn't hear you. What was that?" "MMMMPPPH!" "Tsk, tsk. Such language." The villainess took a knife from her cleavage and flicked it open. Bending over in front of Black Scorpion, she held the blade out for the superheroine to see. Black Scorpion watched as Aerobicide moved the knife down her thigh, towards her legs and... Cut the gauze off her feet. Black Scorpion blinked in shock and then Aerobicide pulled her to her feet. The villainess reached behind Black Scorpion and cut the gauze off her hands. "I'm leaving the gag on because I don't want to hear any snappy one-liners from you." "Ummmmph!" "Now, take off your clothes!" Black Scorpion glared at her. "Mmmmph!" Aerobicide held the knife out. "I said take them off!" Black Scorpion let out a muffled moan of frustration. She tore off her gloves, dropping them at Aerobicide's feet. The supervillainess smiled. Black Scorpion quickly kicked off her boots. Suddenly Aerobicide was on her, pressing the knife against her neck. "Boy, you don't know how to make it look good" she whispered. Aerobicide reached behind Black Scorpion and grabbed the zipper to her suit. Slowly, she slid the zipper down, exposing the superheroine's back. "Mmmmph!" "Shh, don't struggle..." Aerobicide placed her other hand on the shoulder of black Scorpion's suit and slipped it off, and then moved on to the other. The top half of the suit fell, exposing a black sports bra containing her large breasts. "Hmm, let's see what kind of underwear you have." Aerobicide laughed and grabbed the bottom of Black Scorpion's suit. "Grrrruuummph!" "I'll be gentle" Aerobicide whispered and slid down the costume past Black Scorpion's knees. A thin, black G-string separated her from exposing her bare bottom to the world. "Humph, may as well not wear anything." Aerobicide pulled her knife from black Scorpion's neck and circled her, leering at her body. She reached out and hand and gripped Black Scorpion's firm backside. "UUUUUMMMPH!" "You must work out. My type of girl" giggled Aerobicide, "Now, let's get that mask" "Mmmmph!" "I'm afraid you don't get any say in this." Aerbicide once again pressed the knife against Black Scorpion's neck and gripped her mask with her other hand. Black Scorpion closed her eyes, dreading what was to come when suddenly she heard a loud WHACK! Black Scorpion opened her eyes to see Aerobicide go cross eyed and fall to the ground, unconscious. Over her stood Yates, still clad in her bra and panties and a large piece of metal in hand. Black Scorpion's eyes lit up, Yates had come back! Yates walked over to Black Scorpion and raised the piece of metal. What? Yates brought it down on Black Scorpion's head and everything went black. *** Once again, Black Scorpion started to come to. She opened her eyes and blinked, trying to clear away the blurry vision. A desk was in front of her, with something small and black sitting on it. The grogginess went away and she got a better look at the object in front of her. Her mask! "Mmmmph!" A scream of frustration was muffled by the gauze still around her mouth. She tried to move to but couldn't. Looking down, she saw that she was duct taped to a chair. "Comfortable Black Scorpion, or should I say, Detective Darcy." Darcy twisted her head, trying to survey the room. Yates stepped out from behind her and surveyed the bound cop. "I should have known that Black Scorpion was one of our inept police force." Yates glared at Darcy. "Mmmmph! Grrrmmmph! Ummmph!" Darcy screamed at the D.A under the gag, then noticed that Yates had the rest of her costume in her hands. The district attorney laid down the suit with the mask and walked back behind Darcy. "We have some business to take care of before we talk." She gripped Darcy's chair and wheeled it across the room towards a wall of monitors. Darcy looked up to the monitors showing different locations of the prison, various prisoners running wild. "They're looking for us, they should be here soon but we'll solve that problem." Yates stepped over to the monitors and opened a panel revealing large red button. The prisoner pacification system. They must be in the warden's office! Yates pressed the button. On the monitors, gas began emitting all over the prison. Inmates started choking and falling over, unconscious. "There, they should be sleeping for a while" "Mmmmph!" "Ah yes, well what about you." Yates sat on the counter, trying to look lady like despite still being in her underwear. Darcy was in a similar state of undress. "Why did I come back for you instead of leave you to the dogs? Simple, I want you to face our justice, not theirs! Because of you I was kidnapped and humiliated, almost murdered!" "Ummmph! Mmmmph! Grrrrmmmph!" "Soon I'll make a distress call saying that I escaped and activated the prisoner pacification system, and also caught Black Scorpion! I'll be seen as the hero I am and you'll be tried as the criminal you are!" "Grrrrmmmmph!Ummmmph!" "But you still have a part to play" laughed Yates and she pulled Aerobicide's knife from her bra. "See, people won't like seeing that I have a police officer trussed up and gagged in her underwear. But they will like if it's Black Scorpion. So I'm gonna cut you loose, and you're gonna get back in your suit, and then I'm gonna knock you out. Any funny stuff and I'll kill you!" "MMMMMMPH!" Darcy had enough! Getting tied up and gagged, humiliated. Now this D.A wanted to use her to further her own political career. This was enough! Yates stepped forward and held out the knife. "Don't think I'll be taking that gag off, I don't wanna hear you try to bargain your way out." Yates went behind Darcy and cut the duct tape around her hands, then her feet. "Now, get up and put the suit on" Darcy had to be careful around her enemies because she knew they were a physical match for her. But not Yates. She brought her hand up and knocked the knife out of Yates' hand. Before the D.A. could even process what happened, Darcy brought a fist down where her shoulder met her neck. Yates fell to her knees and Darcy sent out a kick that connected at the temple. Yates fell back, unconscious. Darcy stood over the fallen district attorney and tore off her gauze gag. "Bitch!" *** Yates opened her eyes and stared up at a stone ceiling, suddenly Detective Darcy, now wearing her Black Scorpion costume, stood over her. "Have a nice nap?" Yates screamed and tried to jump to her feet when she realized she couldn't move her arms. She looked down to see that she was bound in a straight jacket, and still in her underwear. "What is this? Let me go!" Black Scorpion pulled the straight jacketed district attorney to her feet and threw her against a wall. "Do you know where we are?" ask Black Scorpion. "I don't care, I demand you let me go!" "This is a subbasement of the prison, when the rest of the prison was remodeled, they kind of forgot about this and built everything on top of it. One criminal escaped from his cell but hid down here for months until I kind of stumbled upon it, and him." "This proves that you are a criminal, proves everything I say! Now let me-Ummmmmmph!" Black Scorpion shoved a white cloth into Yates' mouth, then took out a roll of clear medical gauze and wrapped it around the D.A's mouth, holding the cloth in place. "MMMMMPPPPH! UMMMMMPH! "That's better, can't say bad things about me when your gagged and helpless" Black Scorpion gloated. "Mmmmmph! Ummmph!" "Now that we have some quiet. I may be a criminal, I may have killed those girls, but I'm making a difference. Our city is safe, which is something no one else can do. And the fact that you left me to die, then decided to use me to further your own agenda, shows that you aren't any better than the scum I bring in. So, you get to go to prison with them" "Huuummmppph!" "And down here, no one will even think to look for months. If they find you, you'll be so delirious and out there that they won't know what's the truth or what's the delusion." "Hmmmmph!" Black Scorpion grabbed Yates and pulled her down the hall. Yates struggled and moaned the whole way, but Black Scorpion was stronger. At the end of the hall, she opened up a massive steel door. "Say hello to your new office Ms. District Attorney!" "Grrrrruuuumph!" Black Scorpion grabbed Yates and threw her in the cell. Yates landed hard and looked up just to Black Scorpion slam the steel cell door. Black Scorpion smiled and took a step back. The heavy door cut off Yates' muffled screams. The superheroine turned around and stalked away from the door, making a mental note to come back and check on the D.A in a few weeks time. Maybe. THE END
