Quickly, Ampere flicked the half-eaten gobstopper through the bars
of the cage, it rolled into the shadows and hopefully out of sight.
She then dipped her head, and managed to smooth her gag back into
place, hopefully the villain wouldn't notice that anything had
changed.
The Confectioner only stayed long enough to gloat and remind the
heroine of her eventual defeat, he pointed out that the next time he
came back she wouldn't remember anything and then laughed manically,
seemingly imagining the fun he would have with her. Still laughing,
the villain disappeared once more.
Time seemed to pass very slowly for Ampere, although she wracked her
brain, the young heroine couldn't think of any means of escape, and
eventually she decided that she would have to wait until the villain
returned, before attempting to turn the tables on him. She knew that
he had phenomenal strength, as well as his collection of fiendish,
sweet-based weapons, but she was trusting to the effects of surprise.
The villain finally returned, and was pleased to she his captive
lying motionless in the corner of her cage. He checked his watch,
and was reassured that the gobstopper would have completely
dissolved by now. Finally, this annoying nuisance would bother him
no more. Pleased with his victory, the villain unlocked the cage
door and stepped inside. The door swung shut behind him, locking in
place, after all, even without any memory, a lightning flinging
heroine could be dangerous.
Carefully, the Confectioner rolled Ampere onto her back, her eyes
gazed vacantly upwards. Smiling, the villain carefully unpeeled the
thick tape gag from her lips. Checking inside her mouth her was glad
to see that the sweet had gone. Gently stroking the side of Ampere's
face, he began to talk to her, speaking in a soft, friendly voice,
almost as one would speak to a child.
"Ah my pretty, I am sure you are very confused right now, aren't
you?", he began, "Its alright my sweet, I am your owner, my name is
Sir. This is the cage where you stay when you have been naughty, but
its all okay now, I forgive you."
The villain grinned at Ampere, not realising that she was struggling
not to reveal that his poison hadn't got her in its grip. She was
banking on him having some method of releasing her from her bonds,
but couldn't put up with much more of this without losing control
and showing her hand.
"You are probably wondering who you are, aren't you? Well that is
easy also, as I am your owner, so you are my slave. I am very
pleased with my slave, and I imagine, lying there as you do,
helpless horny, it would be lovely for me to pleasure my slave, you
think so too don't you?"
So saying, the villain withdrew another hipflask from his pocket,
and carefully poured a small drop onto Ampere's ankle cuffs.
Instantly they began to melt away, leaving a small puddle of clear
jelly. The Confectioner then, gently drew the heroine's knees apart
and exposed her sex. Still murmuring about slaves and owners, the
villain began to caress Ampere's legs, tracing his fingers up her
thighs as he did so.
Ampere gritted her teeth, she knew that it was now or never, and
trusting that he was suitably focussed on what he was doing, she
suddenly lashed out. Her left foot collided with his knee, impacting
heavily and making the villain hiss with pain. Her right foot
however did the most good as she rammed it fiercely between his
legs. The villain let out a startled yelp and immediately crumpled,
his hands cupping his manhood.
The heroine was on him immediately, her bound hands fumbling for his
hipflask. She juggled and almost dropped it in her haste, but was
able to finally unstopper it and dowse her hands in the liquid. Her
bonds fell away, and Ampere stretched out her aching limbs. Then,
noticing that the Confectioner's moans were subsiding, she kicked
him sharply again. Once she was sure he wouldn't resist, it did not
take long to discover his keys.
Moments later, the heroine was outside the cage, her erstwhile
captor now safely held inside. Happy that he was held for now at
least, Ampere struck out in search of an exit, and perhaps if she
was lucky some clothes. Unlike previous supervillain lairs she had
been privileged to visit, this did not seem to be littered with
traps and the heroine was able to search quite thoroughly.
Inside what she took to be the Confectioner's bed chamber, she
discovered her costume, hung up in a large walk in wardrobe. Her
boots were nearby, and once she was dressed, Ampere began to feel
less vulnerable. There was certainly evidence that other prisoners
had been held here, but despite her search, the heroine could find
no-one, it would only be on returning to her base and reading
through her notes on the case, that she would realise that three
girls were still missing.
All that remained was to call the police, once she was sure they
were on their way, Ampere wandered back to this cage. She was not
completely surprised to find it empty, but it did lend a certain
speed to her exit. She knew that she was on the Confectioner's home
territory now, and had no desire to experience another of his sugary
traps. Later Ampere would count this as a failure, the villain
escaped and three girls were now who knew where, but, at least she
had avoided a very nasty fate.
Meanwhile, in a fast-moving van which sped away from the crime
scene, an angry supervillain cupped a bag of ice against his groin
and cursed the name of Ampere. He couldn't understand how she had
resisted his memory sapping candy, but he vowed that the next time
they met, he would bend the proud heroine to his will, that would
now be his sole goal in life. Grinning against the pain, he wondered
if she had found her costume in his lair, and how long it would take
her to discover the subtle "alterations" he had made.
