The Scarlet Flash and the Mad Scientist of Lust! {survivor00

{for me too; I just ran out of room <.< }


Who was this strange super villainess? Every super villain in existence was supposed to be recorded in the logs of Justice, and the Scarlet Flash had committed many countless (bored) hours to studying each and every one of them. The girl was usually a veritable encyclopedia of useless super-villain knowledge! But the foe she faced now, who had steadily been getting the better of her, was completely unknown to the feisty, fiery doer of good. Even her powers were surprising, and they seemed particularly... powerful.

Flash yelped as she darted, narrowly dodging another assault from her surprising foe. As long as she had somewhere to run, the Flash could keep the other dancing for hours. Sooner or later, she would run short of energy, and the Flash could easily defeat her. Failing that, the others of the Council should be on their way right at this minute. It would be shameful and embarrassing to be rescued once more by the Council, particularly if the American Dream was there as well. But it would mean that this masked doer of evil was thrown behind bars, forever to rot as she contemplated her fate.

"I offer you one last chance to surrender!" yelled our redhaired heroine. She paused in her running just long enough to strike a heroic pose, one finger outstretched toward her evil nemesis. Even though the girl was rather lithe, and hardly struck fear into the hearts of evil (in fact, most blogs read that Flash was among the most "doable" of the Council, ranking her as nearly the hottest thing to slide into latex), she still tried. A valiant shake of her mussed red hair, and a glare to her defiant blue eyes. Even her brilliant outfit, a mesh of brilliant crimson and blue that fit her frame like a second skin, screamed justice. As if the girl's proclamations weren't enough.

"Good shall always prevail!" continued Flash, actually meaning the incredibly corny dialogue. She dodged around the blocks of concrete, glad at least that all civilians had escaped. Perhaps she should consider one last assault, something to show that she meant business. Yes, that would work. She'd just have to dash at the evil doer and defeat her once and for all. and this would go down as one of the greatest captures of her career.

The girl leaped forward, fully intending to do something heroic and daring. However, instead she felt odd. Something had shot through her in her utterly predictable pattern of attack, and she could feel herself steadily fading...

The answer to Scarlet's question as to the super-villainess's identity was both simpler and more complex than she could have imagined. The fully-grown woman before her could not have been entered into the Logs of Justice, for she was less than a month old. This was the first time she had even seen the world outside of her creator's bunker. She had been birthed in a vat of chemicals and genetic material, purposely engineered to possess superpowers, and enhanced senses. She was far more...genetically unstable...than she should be, but her creator promised that with the capture of certain heroes and heroines, their genetic code would keep her alive...

Ruby lunged towards the Scarlet Flash, her fist a blur as she swung a punch that shattered concrete. But the Scarlet Flash wasn't there anymore, instead 20 feet away, watching her warily. Ruby's body burned like a furnace, her superhuman metabolism healed whatever cuts and scratches her body endured within seconds. She panted â?? glaring at the girl in crimson latex. â??She's too fast...â? Ruby muttered softly, one to be answered by a soft voice in her ear. â??Remember, you're not here to beat her, you're not ready for that. You're here to lure her...â?

â??I need the serum...â? She rasped. Running along Ruby's spine was a series of vials, each containing a measured dose of a 'genetic booster'. That would temporarily increase Ruby's muscle mass and power to far greater levels than she had now. But it was still unstable, and combined with her already fragile genetic structure, it could potentially cause a catastrophic breakdown of the bonds holding her together. She would essentially dissolve into a steaming puddle of fluid and organs.

â??No!â? The voice lashed back. â??You'll burn through it in moments. It is a last-minute fail-safe in case other superhumans arrive. It is not to be wasted on her.â?

Ruby glanced up as the Scarlet Flash made her final proclamation, reaching down to scoop a chunk of rubble from the ground and hurl it at her. Ruby quickly adjusted her position, making a decent distraction by knocking a car onto its side, trying to disguise the fact that she was making a clear path for Scarlet.

â??I'm in position.â?

A high-pitched whine screamed in her ears, but neutralized the subsonic tone that suddenly rippled across the concrete. The Scarlet Flash ran straight into the offending sound wave, and Ruby watched with a certain level of satisfaction as the lithe, hyper-fast heroine seemed to wither and crumple before her. Ruby's own guts churned from the sound waves that rolled through her body, but she took a firm step forward and driving a powerful punch right into Scarlet's stomach.

Possibly Flash's speed managed to protect her from being completely annihilated by the attacks. It still struck, struck hard. And as if the sonic attack wasn't enough, it was soon followed moments later by a very physical assault. The young super-heroine saw stars, her air leaving her body in one great whoosh. Her course had changed direction, and rapidly, the speed seeming to add to the impact. Had Flash not been used to dealing with high-speed collisions and such, she might have sustained great harm from the blow. as it was, the combination proved just enough to shock the girl.

"Oh no," the girl managed, feeling her consciousness slip away. She fought, struggled valiantly to stay upright. But the loss of air, the extreme contact, and the sudden shift had done a number on the poor girl's body. The last thought she had was how she'd gotten so close... only to have to be captured yet again...

The Justice Council would be so disappointed in her.

Ruby would have delighted in pummeling the stubborn heroine's body until it was a mush against her fists, but the stern voice of her creator in her ear warned her of the punishment that would come from it. She reached down and hauled the superhuman's light form from the cracked pavement, tossing Scarlet over her shoulder as if though she were a sack of flesh and bones. Surveying the scene before her â?? the city block quite devastated â?? Ruby turned and carried the unconscious super back to her creator. Her mistress.

And soon, she would be Scarlet's mistress as well.

â??Well done.â? Roxanne Theobald smiled, emerging from behind the sonic device she had used to incapacitate the Scarlet Flash. The woman â?? though shorter, and of significantly more average build â?? looked like she could have been a slightly older version of Ruby. The same facial lines, the same bright, powerful eyes...but given that Ruby consisted of nearly 70% of Roxanne's genetic code, this was unsurprising, at least to the scientist. She walked over to her creation and their captive, smiling as she traced a slender finger along the back of Scarlet's neck.

â??Such a beautiful girl...â? She said softly, reaching down to fetch a syringe from the case she had beside her. Sliding the bodysuit away for enough skin to be exposed, she slipped the hypodermic needle into Scarlet's neck and injected the contents of the vial. She tenderly rubbed Scarlet's back, â??There, there...it will all make sense soon...â? She cooed, before turning sharply, her lab coat flaring out behind her as she strode towards the Humvee she had arrived in. She quickly fetched some restraints, and expertly bound the unconscious Scarlet, before placing her in back. Quickly, Roxanne and Ruby disassembled the gear needed for the capture, and drove off into the city, undetected by the Council.

Throughout her capture, Flash remained, for the most part, unconscious. She was dimly aware of being moved somehow, lifted from the ground and hefted about. Her body was a limp sack, flopping about. Her mind barely worked, more lost in unconsciousness than capable of anything. What little she could notice felt like something out of a dream. A smaller woman... a strange device... a needle... blissful feelings overwhelmed what little remained of Flash at that point.

She let herself give way to them, falling completely under the thrall of the injection and her wounds. No awareness left now.

Eventually, Flash would recover. Those blue eyes would flicker with life. Depending on the drug, what it did and how it acted, her clarity would slowly return. All supers were made of tougher stuff, and every single one of them healed faster than a normal human. This was common knowledge though, so most villain simply upped doses or prepared things purely for taking supers. Doubtless Roxanne had followed suit. Still, Flash would return to full consciousness eventually, to face whatever cruel fate lay in wait for her.
