Red locks of hair fumbled as the young superheroine protested at the dark villainess's words. Those glowing eyes narrowed their gaze on the Sentinel.<span style="color: #8000ff">"Guns don't discriminate between good or bad, and both sides of the law use them to achieve their goals."</span>Scythe specter jabbed a slender finger against the evaporator now decorating the heroine's neck.<span style="color: #8000ff">"Even if you're naive enough to think this was made with the best intentions, it's a weapon, and it's a weapon designed specifically against a certain brand of Superpowered. Look out for the day they figure out how to make this permanent and start branding it as a 'cure'."</span>Her words were hissed to the struggling superhero, bearing the tone of a cynic who's been burned once too many.<br/><br/>It was the sight of the superheroine brought so low, introduced to fear and panic that had Specter make her offer about the deception, all while strugging to hold herself back from dominating those quivering lips. It was the power of the beautiful and the attractive, calling you to earn their favour, to be smiled at. Yet, the Scarlet Sentinel did not accept her offer, as humbled as she had been. Empty defiance voiced by one who didn't truly know just how bad 'the worst' could be.<span style="color: #8000ff">"...Your choice." </span>Specter whispered in a lurid tone that only promised dreadful things to come. She closed her eyes and shut that defiant gaze of the heroine's out while pity faded to feed a more sadistic side to the villainess.<br/><br/>The Scarlet Sentinel's nervousness at the needle drew a chuckle from the maiden-of-chains. This girl was at her mercy and she was afraid to get a little of her blood drawn?<span style="color: #8000ff">"This is one-half of the reason I broke in here, and the only reason I fought you at all." </span>The Specter used her chains to make Samantha face the other way, brushing the device over the exposed skin of the young hero's neck. After a bit of searching for a good vein, the advanced venipuncture machine made a buzzing noise before the needle sank in the Sentinel flesh. The machine stinging in an uncomfortable way as the hooded woman gathered four vials of Samantha's blood.<span style="color: #8000ff">"You'll have to excuse me for not monologueing about my whole plan, I'm not one for tradition."<br/>
<br/>
"Lets see... got the package, M gene blood, a bit of a bonus... and about twenty minutes before you're likely to get back-up."</span>The device withdrew, and specter tucked the blood vials away in a transparent zipbag that vanished in her robe.<span style="color: #8000ff"> "All that's left is making sure you keep your pretty mouth shut." </span>The chains wrapped around Samantha's body clenched down a little tighter while an arm wrapped around Samantha's waist. Lips brushed over the mark left by the venipuncture device.<span style="color: #8000ff">"You see, I like being a B-list nobody in that hero database of yours. I'm not like you, I don't get off on beating up people. Being only ranked at threat level B means I can easily get away from most heroes who want a shot at me. I faced Solar before, I don't want to deal with that sun-powered alien menace again anytime soon."</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #8000ff">"So this is where my worst comes in, sweetheart, or at least a worse."</span>Spectre fetched an older smartphone from her robe, holding it out in front of the Scarlet Sentinel.<span style="color: #8000ff">"Smile for the camera."</span>The villain quipped as the flash of camera briefly blinded the pair, capturing picture proof of the Scarlet Sentinel in chains.<span style="color: #8000ff"> "I start getting A-listers teaming up on me, or the likes of Solar hunting my ass and the world wide web's going to get high quality pictures of the unbeatable heroine becoming beat-off material. Well... as high quality as this crappy old thing allows."</span>The arm around Samantha's waist moved back, stroking the heroine's flanks as the phone snapped another picture.<br/><span style="color: #8000ff"><br/>
"We've all got to live with our choices..."</span>the Scythe Specter mused.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
