Desert<br/>Tagging: Open<br/>Hero Points: 1<br/>Conditions: None<br/><hr/><br/>Ester was reflecting on her life as she practiced hitting multiple targets at range with her hair.  Her hair was one of her greatest weapons, it extended her reach out by 30 feet and no one really expected hair to be dangerous when it was flying at them, until too late that is.  She was now an Avenger, a dream of hers that she never thought was possible.  It had happened a year ago during the Poly Amies  incident.  She has been one of the many heroes who had answered the call of the government to launch an attack on Poly Amies oceangoing fortified base.  Up until then, she had been engaged in local crime that she could find on her own.  She often teamed up with Daiblaster, the cute oriental heroine could find crime much better with that awesome suit of hers., which seems to have been getting smaller ever since Poly Amies.  Not that Ester was complaining, her friend was rather pretty and nice to look at, as well as being a genius.  And truth be told, her outfits were getting smaller and tighter too.  They had gone to several nude beaches since becoming Avengers and it had been fun to spend time with her friend in a casual setting.<br/><br/>But after the Poly Amies event, the Wasp had her, Daiblaster and two other heroines they had worked with, Scandal and Rose, to create a Southwest Avengers team.  They had all jumped at the chance and Scandal even provided several buildings to act as headquarters for them.  The Avengers had come in and upgraded the facilities with really advanced tech, which she was still having trouble understanding how it worked, like the teleportation machine.  But she didn't have to understand it completely to use it.<br/><br/>Anyway, her she was, a full time Avenger, fighting crime on a monthly if not weekly basis.  She had managed to finish her degree in Exercise Science, but instead of becoming a Krav Maga teacher, she was now using the degree to whip her team into shape for crime fighting.   She still taught Krav Maga on the side, especially for outreach programs, civic duty of an Avenger.  But she was careful to never associate too much with any one group, she didn't want some villain to try to use them against her.  Yes, her family knew she was an Avenger, she hold told them about her powers and decision to become a crime fighter immediately.  Her mothers were skeptical at first, but still supportive.  Her younger sister thought it was hot, she might have to keep an eye on her younger sister and who she ends up dating, there was something off with Rachel, especially after Poly Amies.  She was pretty sure none of her family had been hit by the Lust Gas, but Rachel sometimes would get handsy with her.<br/><br/>Ending her workout, Ester grabbed a towel to wipe off the sweat pouring off her body as she cleaned up the gym and put things back where they were supposed to be with her hair.  She was getting really good at controlling her hair with all the practice she was getting and she got a lot of practice, she no longer needed to sleep and she never got tired anymore.  Training was a constructive activity during the middle of the night when everyone else was asleep.  She did other less constructive things during the night too, like going out to lesbian bars and getting picked up by hot women.   She maintained a civilian identity so that she could go out and have a fun night without getting recognized as the heroine Stryka, being in complete control of her hair was a part of that disguise.  Ten feet of her hair spiralling around her as well as tight, skimpy clothes meant that most people didn't spend much time looking at her face, and the Avengers had given her a mask to wear that further head her features.  It was made with some strange material to stuck to skin, which was much better than the mask she had been wearing before which got in the way of her hair occasionally.   But this mask she could fold up and carry in her pockets or her purse with no trouble.  And her clothing didn't matter much in long run, she wore skimpy nondescript clothing, which was often shredded in the fights and left her all but nude half of the time.  So she could go out without fear of being recognized as an Avenger.  Of course that meant that she had to be careful to not give herself away by using her powers while she was incognito, which did lead to a rather embarrassing situation where she had joined a sorority party and ended up being their entertainment as they cuffed her hands and then preceded to gangbang her with rather large strapons all night and into the next day.  She didn't get tired anymore so she was able to outlast them and stagger away before they woke up.  It was rather embarrassing to admit to Scandal what had happened as her teammate had picked the lock on the cuffs.  She was super tough, but she wasn't super strong, breaking free of good quality cuffs was a bit beyond her strength.<br/><br/>Which has lead to another change since Poly Amies, women have been getting more aggressive, crimes by women have been on the rise ever since and no one knows why, many experts have been looking into it.  For the southwest team, it meant that they were fighting supervillainesses much more often now.  Hopefully someone would figure out what was going on there soon, there was some speculation that it was linked to the increased exhibitionlism that was been seen as well.  Women were being much more assertive on their sexual rights, which Ester thought over all was fantastic.<br/><br/>Ester logged onto the computer system to see what was up and noticed that Scandal had left notification that she was going to check out something strange at Burning Man.  A new soda called Tentacle Grape Soda, apparently a very effective aphrodisiac.   Shaking her head as she noticed that Scandal had gone in without backup, something that should never happen.  You should always have backup, no matter how innocent a situation looked.  She sent an internal message to Daibuster where she was going and to alert her in case they needed back, backup.<br/><br/>The tall, tanned heroine took a quick shower, and put on a red halter top and some of her skimpiest shorts and went to the transporter room.  She hopped over to San Francisco, she thought this was an appropriate use of the teleport tubes since someone was out without backup. She ran the rest of the way to Burning Man to meet up with Scandal, maybe Rose was on the way to meet up with Scandal.  Slowing down outside of Burning Man and hopefully making sure no one saw her running faster than normal people can, she walked into the mass party and started looking for Scandal.  She kept her hair to a short, for her, lower butt length as she strutted through the festivities, feeling all kinds of eyes on her butt as she swayed it confidently.   She pulled out her phone and started trying to call Scandal and of course that was when she spotted her friend and teammate.  Rolling her eyes at how the universe sometimes worked, she strutted over to the guy turned into a woman.  She got a teasing smile on her lips as she walked right up to her and hugged her, mashing their breasts together.<br/><br/>"Hey hon, I was just about to call you to find out where you were," the tall tanned heroine smirked teasingly, "You left our tent without telling me where you were going."   She looked down slightly at Scandal to see if she had embarrassed the woman yet. "Find anything interesting?"
