Chapter 2: Blastaar's quarry
Susan Richards hummed to herself as she ran on the treadmill. Normally she would run, but it was a cold day in New York. She had been running for hours. The red light on her beacon flashed, but Sue had taken her costume off and laid it across the room. The entire scenario in the lab went unnoticed.
The large Baluuran Blastaar had not known where Reed's alluring mate was, but he followed her scent. Her musk was even stronger now, and he found her in a room, which appeared to be a human exercise room. The beast was big, but he could be stealthy non-the-less. The door was open to the room, and Blastaar noted the uniform in the corner. He thought to knock her out instantly, but he waited and watched her. She was truly beautiful, and he reassured himself of his resolve.
Sue turned, and it took her some time to process the scene. "BLASTAAR!" she cried out. She was a pro, and went into defensive stance immediately. A small force-field came over her form.
Blastaar was simply amused. He raised his hands and shot burst after burst at the woman. "Let us not fight Susan; there are better ways to do this." Blastaar had fought her before, and he was afraid that he would need his entire strength to bust open her field. He did not want to kill her however. Instead, he continued his assault and walked towards his quarry. Sue's nose began to bleed from the onslaught, and she fell to her knees. Blastaar saw his opening and pounded on the field with his fist. Sue was soon out cold. Brute force is just as good, he thought.
