More Sleepy Adventures - Part Seven

Emmisary)
Approaching cautiously on foot, Ampere easily spotted the sensors
surrounding the villain's lair. Although almost invisible, each
device radiated energy and shone brightly in the heroine's goggles.
By carefully exercising her control of electricity, she was able to
effectively blind each device, without alerting their controller that
anything was wrong.
In the past, Ampere would have simply destroyed the sensors, but of
course this would have alerted the villains to her presence. Being held
captive by The Confectioner, both time barely escaping, had made the
young woman learn subtly.
It did not take long after that for her to find Geist's car. Silently
she chided the inexperienced heroine for leaving it in plain sight. She
was desperately worried for her young friend, and that worry spilled
out into anger. Where had she gone? Could she have been so foolish as
to have followed the unknown villainess without waiting for backup?
Ampere paused, something about the car wasn't right. Firstly, she
could see that it had been left unlocked and that was not like Geist at
all. Secondly, when she looked inside the car, her goggle showed a kind
of haze filling the small vehicle. Ampere had never seen anything like
it before, there was definitely some form of electrical activity, but
unlike any she had encountered before.
What on earth had happened to her? The heroine briefly weighed up her
options. She could leave the car, hoping that it didn't contain any
clues as to where Geist had gone. Or she could look inside, braving
whatever was in there. Steeling herself, Ampere reached out, pulling
gently on the door handle...
At that moment, The Gadgeteer was checking the internal security
systems. She was happy to see her two "colleagues" occupied, The
Adherer lying bound and drugged, and The Anaesthetist welcoming their
uninvited guest into new accommodation. Sure that neither would be
bother her in the near future, she began to unpack her new "pet"
security guard.
The villainess had not been supposed to bring two captives back from
her kidnapping, but the tall blonde woman had been too exciting a catch
to pass up on. She knew that her boss would be upset that she deviated
from the plan, and a quick glance at The Adherer, glassy eyed and now
drooling was a clear reminder of what happened to people who upset the
villain.
Moving quickly, she removed Caitlin's sleep mask, then gently prising
the sleeping girl's jaw open, she forced a small red rubber ball
behind her teeth. Moments later she had buckled a leather strap behind
her neck, securing the gag in place. Next she used a small blade cut
first the plastic strip which held Caitlin hogtied, and then to cut her
drab white bra and knickers apart, leaving her naked, gagged and bound.
Caitlin began to stir, and The Gadgeteer marvelled at the girl's
resilience. Still, it was far too early for her captive to regain her
senses, and so the villainess rapidly entered a command into her own
remote control. Caitlin's struggles instantly ceased, her collar
having instilled a potent cocktail of muscle relaxants, aphrodisiacs
and sedatives into her bloodstream.
With some difficulty, The Gadgeteer managed to carry and drag her
captive over to a small chest in the corner of the lab. It opened
silently, revealing a cushioned interior. The villainess heaved
Caitlin's unresisting body into the small prison, knowing that the
collar would keep her helpless until she had more time to play with her
properly.
As the chest automatically closed, sealing Caitlin inside, The
Gadgeteer swept the laboratory clear of the discarded underwear,
removing all evidence that the security guard had ever been there. The
villainess breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't get rid of the
feeling that if she was not very careful, The Anaesthetist would deal
with her much as he had dealt with The Adherer...
The Anaesthetist was at that moment casting his expert gaze over
Geist's unconscious form. With practiced movements he quickly
stripped the fallen heroine of what little remained of her clothing. He
did not recognise the young woman, but that hardly concerned him. She
was obviously some sort of super-heroine, and quite attractive too
despite her frumpy attire.
While it would have been all too easy for the villain to lock yet
another of The Gadgeteer's "captive collars" around Geist's
pretty throat, some sense of "honour" meant that he would give the
slumbering woman one final chance to gain her freedom. After all, he
mused to himself, it wasn't as if she would be able to stay away from
his schemes for long. Of course, despite this so called "honour"
there was no reason why the supervillain should play fair with his
pretty prisoner.
Smiling to himself, imagining another heroine's fall, The
Anaesthetist gently placed a small sleepmask over Geist's face. He
carefully adjusted the straps behind her head, and smoothed the mask
into place. Then, once he was satisfied it was secure, he activated the
small cylinder and let a small trickle of the powerful sedative fill
his captive's lungs.
Sure now that she would be unable to wake from her slumber, the villain
bent to Geist's ankles. He carefully scooped up the long strands of
sticky webbing, being careful not to get stuck himself. In moments he
had secured the young woman in a stringent hogtie. The webbing coiled
up her legs, binding them together, and then securing her wrists
together just above her shapely buttocks.
He patted the helpless heroine on the backside and silently promised to
return later and show her some of the other "toys" in his arsenal.
Then, laughing quietly to himself, the villain left her, oblivious to
what was occurring, and with no idea of the peril that she faced...
At that moment, Ampere jerked the car door open. For a moment nothing
happened, the young heroine scanned the interior of Geist's car,
looking for something to explain the strange readings she had seen
before. Then, without warning, something lashed out towards her with
inhuman speed.
Panicking, the heroine back-pedalled, firing an unaimed bolt of
electricity. Her attack struck one of two thin tendrils, instantly
vaporising it. The second continued unimpeded, wrapping firmly around
Ampere's right wrist. Gasping, the superheroine struggled to break
free, shocked by the strength of slender tentacle.
She almost didn't notice the second attack, but luck was with the
plucky heroine. Tugging to loose herself from the tightening snare,
Ampere looked up, just as another four tendrils launched themselves
towards her. In that split second, she made her decision. It was
obvious that even with both arms free, she wasn't enough of a
markswoman to hit all four tentacles. But, perhaps she could destroy
the source of the attack with a single well placed shot. In an instant,
thoughts became actions and focussing her energy, she hurled a
brilliant bolt of energy through the open car door.
The lightning struck just as the tendrils were about to loop around the
young woman. Two aimed for her ankles, one for her waist and the final
tentacle headed unerringly towards her slender neck. Each snare
disintegrated as energy filled the interior of the car. In that moment
of clarity, Ampere had used her goggles to locate the area of maximum
activity within the car. Assuming that this would be some form of
control point, she reasoned that destroying it would deal with the
tentacles.
Putting more distance between herself and Geist's vehicle, Ampere
brushed the remnants of the tendril from her wrist. She was startled to
see that the material of her glove had been eaten away. The heroine
wasn't sure exactly what had happened, but such an evil trap,
concealed within her friend's car could only be bad news.
She knew that she could not risk any other trap which might still lie
concealed inside the vehicle. Ampere steeled herself and after another
quick scan of the surrounding, she began to walk towards the ramp which
not too long before Geist had also descended...
