Dangers of Getting complacent

(Based on RP with Slavemaker27 / http://profiles.yahoo.com/slavemaker27?fmt=2.0&intl=ca&os=win&ver=9.0.0.2034 ))


This vocation carries danger not only during the point of taking a bad guy down but after as well. Your average cop might get guys pissed at him when he arrests someone but it rarely worth their while or the jail time to go after them at a later date for revenge. However when you hold super star status, are an icon of justice the S on my chest might as well be a bulls eye. Not to mention attacking me is not considered attacking a law enforcement officer, and then there is the ego thing, what thug wants to admit a 120 pound 5 foot 4 woman tossed him around like a, well, 100 pound 5 foot tall woman. Its not rational, I mean naturally I’m not an average woman, I’m not even human, but appearances are everything. What all this adds up to is me having to continually watch my back and move, a lot. However eventually I get tired and complacent, and sure enough it happened!

I was on apartment number, I forgot, and as I knew it always would be, some two bit loser I put away years ago whom I also forgot about wanted to blame me for his criminal ways getting him put away. He had tracked my apt down and after a long day I came home wiped. Having a quick drink (milk of course) I flopped down on the bed for what should have been just a moment, but I dozed quickly and the moment would last a long time as I was unaware of the gas being pumped into the room.
I woke up in a damp cave like setting, inside a barred cell and shackled to the wall. I did not know it but I have been given a mask pumped in with the gas and left down there for over a week with no rejuvenating sun radiation or food or drink. While this would not kill me it also would affect my powers. I started to realize this as I thrashed and struggled with the shackles to no avail. My captor would soon come to visit, a short intro about how “I” ruined his life and jail had him lose his family etc. After that nice chat he got down the business, which started with strangling me with one of the chains while smacking my head back and forth before dragging me out of the cell in chains. I knew that despite the time I had spent without sunlight or sustenance that I still have a reserve of energy, the question was when to use it to escape. Too soon and he might expect it, too late and I might be to far gone to use it, if I still had it.

Brought down to a room that on first sight made me realize that the time to act would be really soon. It was basically a well stocked torture chamber and since I was the only captive it was apparent he planned on me being her for awhile if he intended to work through all the toys. He tossed me to a reclining dentist type chair and as I was preparing to break the bonds he japed to probes into my gut and zapped me bad. My effort worked along with the writhing from the pain and I popped the chain links open and rolled off the chair. I took a moment to recover from the shock and staggered for the exit and elevators. Trying to pry the doors open as a thick steel door started sliding down to protect them. I strained mighty to hold it up but in the end I had no more in me and it slammed shut. Spinning around and pressing my back into the door as I saw him right there behind me. Smacked down again he quickly rebind me with cable ties and dropped me back in the chair I had just escaped from. My powers were gone but my invulnerability was not, not yet that is.

(i'm going to try to do a few things like this based on some RPs I am currently involved in. Up to you if you believe me or not but which ones I pick is rather random, I can't do this for all of them and just know its nothing against you if I don't get ours up. I won't get 90% of them up. They are also paraphrased and summarized not full transcripts and I might have made some changes to them. I always ask of hte other player wants their name attached to it as I know some don't)
