  Episode 1: Another Victim
  
… in which SleeperQueen meets her new partner in crime while subduing another
unfortunate male 
---------------------------
  
  It was well past midnight along the backstreets of a mist-shrouded Gotham
      City as
  Chastity Pritchett, better known as SleeperQueen, moved stealthily from shadow
    to
  shadow, seeking her next victim. 
  
  This was crazy, she thought to herself for the thousandth time: out here
    on a damp
  night, well past her bedtime, in an obsessive attempt to satisfy this weird
    fetish
  of hers: taking a man by surprise and knocking him out cold. Perhaps taking
    him back
  to her place and raping him. Perhaps just dumping him unconscious on the
    outskirts
  of town. The important part was that he was asleep, knocked out by her long
    legs or
  powerful arms or the potent drugs she carried in a miniature satchel which
    rode
  along her hip on a low-slung belt. Knocked out cold by her sleek, sexy, feminine
  power. What came after he was out was irrelevant. The crux, the climax for
    her was
  watching him lapse into unconsciousness as a result of a particularly powerful
    kick,
  karate chop or other, more devious means.
  
  She had tried to explain this fetish of hers to some of her friends, but
    they just
  stared in wide-eyed disbelief, nodding politely. How could she explain the
    electric
  thrill of watching a man pass out at her feet? Sometimes her victims collapsed
  against her, after she buried a stunning karate chop into the soft flesh
    at the base
  of their necks. Sometimes they moaned loudly or let out long sighs of ultimate
  exhaustion as they slid down her body and lay writhing slowly for a moment
    at her
  feet before slipping into unconsciousness. Sometimes a small rivulet of drool
  escaped from the corner of their mouths just before they fell asleep, moistening
    the
  instep of her foot or running down along her ankle. That was when she shuddered
    and
  moaned herself, and gave herself up to the erotic, shuddering climax. 
  
  How could she explain any of it? She only knew that she loved the sight of
    a man
  lying at her feet, out cold, put to sleep by her hands, legs or other more
  unsporting techniques. This last thought reminded her to unzip the tiny satchel
  slung low about her waist and check its contents. The hypodermic needle was
    there.
  True, it didn’t make for a very fair fight, but it came in handy.
  
  The streets were quiet now and occasionally her platform heels clicked loudly
  against the damp sidewalk, but she was reluctant to remove them because they
    turned
  her on: they were an integral part of the erotic pleasure she derived from
    these
  late-night and increasingly risky forays, as much a part of the costume as
    the black
  mask and micro mini hotpants. She glanced down at them now, self-consciously,
    down
  along the extended length of her slender, shapely legs, the sight of which
    also
  turned her on, bare and uncovered. She reflected on how many times those
    long legs
  had lashed out suddenly and caught her victim completely unaware, her feet
  connecting solidly with the side of his head or directly under his chin.
    Sometimes
  he would reach out and grab the soft backs of her thighs as he slid downward,
    unable
  to hold himself up. Another wave of spasms s!
  hook her entire body with pleasure as she imagined those past victims passing
    out at
  her feet.
  
  But she had to be careful: she’d left an obvious trail of unconscious
    men lately,
  her obsession getting stronger and increasingly hard to satisfy, like an
    addiction,
  so that the authorities had become aware of a pattern. They had dubbed the
  mysterious femme fatale 
  SleeperQueen, and she rather liked the handle and had decided to keep it.
    But the
  Commissioner, baffled and incompetent as always, had called in Batman and
    Robin; she
  had seen the headlines in yesterday’s paper, so she had to be extra wary,
    she knew.
  They were clever, sneaky adversaries, so she slowed her pace and tiptoed
    as the
  lights of the nightclub ahead came into view. She melded into an alleyway
    to better
  survey the situation.
  
  A lanky middle-aged man in a business suit still wearing his tie, she noticed
    with
  some inexplicable disgust, emerged from the club with a young woman linked
    to his
  arm. She wore an extremely short skirt and high heels not unlike her own.
    What luck!
  The guy wasn’t bad-looking, as far as she could tell, and a nubile young
    nymphette
  thrown in at no extra cost! Two for the price of one, she thought, as she
    followed
  silently toward the parked cars.
  
  She waited as he fumbled for his keys, unlocked the passenger side to let
    his escort
  in, then walked around to the driver’s side. Then she made her move.
    She strode up
  boldly to him, her long legs covering the remaining distance easily before
    he had
  time to think.
  
“
  Congratulations!” she announced with false enthusiasm. “You’ve
    been selected.”
  
“
  What?” he said, confused, turning to face her. “Selected for what?”
  
“
  For this,” she said with an evil smirk on her face as she cocked her
    bare leg back
  then brought it up suddenly in a high kick. Her instep met him squarely under
    the
  jaw, propelling him back against the car door.
  
“
  Uggh,” he groaned, staggering. She unleashed another kick, sweeping her
    long leg in
  a high arc from the side, catching him on the temple. He grunted again, but
    kept his
  feet, erect, swaying drunkenly. She clenched her fists, brought her knee
    up and held
  it there for a split second, then let fly a jarring snap kick. Her calf rocketed
    up
  and out, solidly meeting his forehead. He fell back against the car door
    once again.
  
“
  Is everything alright, honey?” asked the girl with a singsong voice.
    It would be
  fun knocking her out, Chastity thought, if for no other reason then to silence
    that
  annoying, tinny tone for the remainder of the night. She considered leaving
    her by
  the side of the car and speeding away with the guy, but it had been a while
    since
  she had tasted any young female flesh; the opportunity was just too irresistible.
  
  The guy was shaking his head and wincing in pain, when Chastity turned her
    attention
  back to him. It was time to make a getaway before she drew attention to herself. 
  She raised her hand high over her head, flattened it, and brought the knife
    edge of
  her hand down sharply against the base of his neck in a devastating karate
    chop.
  Just as abruptly, she delivered a second chop in rapid succession before
    he even had
  time to react the first blow. Unable to stand any longer, he collapsed, his
    back
  sliding slowly down against the cold metal of the car behind him.
  
  She caught him by the front of his shirt as he fell and held him up. Reaching
    behind
  him, she pulled the back door open and shoved him roughly inside. She leaned
    in only
  long enough to wrench the car keys out of his hand, then slid swiftly into
    the front
  seat behind the wheel.
  
  The girl looked at her in surprise. “Wow, that was pretty cool fighting!” she
    said,
  genuinely impressed, seemingly oblivious to the fact that her boyfriend was
    lying
  delirious in the back seat. 
  
  Chastity hesitated. She was about to knock the girl out with another karate
    chop,
  but the adulation in her voice was unmistakable. Something in her tone had
    warned
  her to hold off, that maybe here, possibly, was someone she could trust,
    someone who
  might understand her. She would have to see. She could always pull over and
    put her
  to sleep if she caused trouble. 
  
  Instead, she cranked the ignition and tore out of the parking lot.
  
“
  Where are we going?” asked the girl, wide-eyed with anticipation, yet
    showing no
  sign of fear or shock.
  
“
  To my secret lair,” replied SleeperQueen coolly. “To have our way
    with him.” She
  indicated man sprawled on the back seat who was now beginning to stir slightly.
“
  That is, if you want to join me.” She narrowed her eyes and scrutinized
    the girl,
  appraising her. She guessed she was about ten years her junior, maybe 18,
    maybe not
  even legal yet.
  
“
  Absolutely,” the girl practically sang, and was about to continue when
    a long moan
  from the back seat interrupted her.
  
  SleeperQueen peered into the rearview mirror. “He’s waking up.
    We’re not going to
  make it to the lair. We’re going to have to pull over.”
  
“
  Let me handle this,” said the girl, and, without warning, vaulted into
    the back seat.
  
  SleeperQueen was too surprised to respond. With her eyes still riveted on
    the mirror
  and the scene unfolding behind her, she slowed the car, spied an unobtrusive
    turnoff
  to the side and swerved off the main road.
  
  The guy had managed to pull himself into a sitting position and was shaking
    his
  head, trying to clear the haze from his brain. “Where am I?” he
    mumbled.
  
“
  That’s not important, baby,” the girl cooed in his ear. She had
    moved behind him,
  grabbed him around the waist and pulled his back against her ample chest. “Just
  relax and enjoy the ride,” she added. With that, she wrapped her arms
    around his
  head, one arm extending up along the side, the other firmly cinched under
    his chin
  and wrapped tightly around his throat and neck.
  
“
  What the fu--?” he began, but was cut off has she tightened the hold.
  
“
  Ssh,” she chided. “Just relax, baby…and sleep.”
  
  Chastity had pulled off into a brushy area well hidden from the road and
    killed the
  engine. Then she turned to watch the spectacle unfolding before her with
    increasing
  incredulity. 
  
  The girl tightened the sleeperhold and her victim let out a grunt. He twisted
    from
  side to side, trying to free himself, but to no avail, as she wrapped her
    legs
  around his, immobilizing him completely. The man’s struggles slowed almost
  immediately as his strength was sapped. He let out a long sigh and a thin
    rivulet of
  drool escaped involuntarily from the corner of his mouth. She squeezed him
    again,
  forcing the side of his head into the inside crook of her elbow. In a last
    desperate
  attempt to shake her off, he reached down and grabbed the sides of her smoothly
  shaven thighs. Her micro miniskirt had from the beginning ridden high up
    above her
  hips, revealing a black string bikini. But his strength was gone now and
    his hands
  just as quickly slid off her glistening, tanned legs, coming to rest numbly
    on the
  car seat. But the feel of her legs under hi!
  s warm palms had made a lasting impressions he wondered to himself, “How
    can someone
  so soft be so deadly?”
  
  It was his last coherent thought. He relinquished the fight and surrendered
    to her
  then, sinking back into her slender young body, giving himself up to her
    as he began
  to slide into unconsciousness. He moaned softly as his muscles became water
    and his
  mind faded into a gray haze, then into blackness. His body went completely
    limp as
  he went out in her arms.
  
  Another soft moan emanated from the front seat. Distracted from her quarry
  momentarily, the girl turned to investigate, leaning over the backrest to
    get a
  better look. Chastity was sprawled on the seat in the middle of an orgasm.
    The girl
  smiled and turned her attention back to the man. He also lay sprawled on
    his back,
  sleeping deeply.
  
  Momentarily, SleepQueen’s masked face appeared above the seat back.
  
“
  Whew!” She sounded drained. “Where did you learn how to do that?” she
    asked,
  obviously impressed.
  
“
  I’ve got a black belt in karate. I’ve knocked out more men than
    I can count,
  SleeperChick. You could call it a hobby of mine. It was just a matter of
    time before
  we ran into each other, I would say,” the girl replied.
  
“
  Well, you’re hired. I could use a sidekick,” SleeperQueen confided.
  
“
  Who says I’m looking for a mentor?” the girl asked. “I work
    alone.”
  
“
  I’ll need someone to help me kidnap Batman and Robin. What do you say?”
  SleeperQueen asked.
  
“
  An offer I couldn’t refuse,” replied the girl. “Where do
    I sign?”
  
“
  Good.” SleeperQueen reached into the satchel still strung around her
    waist and
  extracted a hypodermic needle. “I hereby dub thee Anesthesia, Princess
    of Peace,
  Sultana of Sleep, Countess of Karate, Diva of Dreams.” She lightly tapped
    the needle
  twice on each of the girl’s narrow, bony shoulders.
  
  The girl bowed her head in mock obeisance and said coolly, “I thought
    you’d never
  ask” and then was interrupted by a stirring from the backseat: the man
    was
  awakening. 
  
“
  What perfect timing,” said SleeperQueen. “Would you like to do
    the honors?”
  
“
  It would be my pleasure,” answered Anesthesia. “And I really mean
    that.”
  
  She removed the protective cap of the needle and scrutinized the contents
    closely.
  Satisfied, she lowered it until it rested against the base of her victim’s
    neck,
  smiled, then inserted it gently with practiced expertise. Slowly she pushed
    down on
  the plunger, very gradually transferring the potent serum to the soft, vulnerable
  flesh at the base of his neck.
  
“
  That should hold him for a while,” announced Anesthesia, withdrawing
    the needle and
  pausing to observe its effect. 
  
  He was just starting to come to his senses when the drug took hold. He had
    managed
  to prop himself up on one elbow. Looking around with glazed eyes, he mumbled, “Where
  am I? Who are you?” when abruptly his eyes rolled upward and he sank
    back onto the
  car seat. He pushed himself up again, but the effort was too much for him
    and he
  sank back down, breathing heavily.
  
“
  Never mind that, darling,” stated SleeperQueen coldly. “You’re
    coming with us and
  I’m adding you to my menagerie, and that’s all you need to know.”
  
  He raised himself again, but Anesthesia lifted her high-heeled foot and,
    resting it
  on the front of his shoulder, pushed him violently back down into the vinyl
  upholstery. As she watched, his eyes fluttered, then closed as he sank into
    a deep,
  drugged sleep.
  
“
  Well done, girl,” said SleeperQueen. “You’ve obviously had
    experience. So where
  exactly did you learn to do all that?” she asked, putting the car in
    gear and
  backing out onto the main road.
  
  SleeperQueen directed the car toward home, her secret lair, as Anesthesia
    related in
  measured tones the amazing history of how she too became obsessed with rendering
    her
male victims helpless…and then completely unconscious.
