-Abandoned Warehouse-

Power Girl wakes up, head lowered. She lifts it, feeling very woozy. She then realizes she's tied to a steel X, her wrists and ankles bound by reinforced steel cuff links. She tugged on her restraints, but they didn't buckle or even creak. She then looks up, noticing the same Kryptonite that was used against her during the bank robbery.

"Oh! Sleeping Beauty is awake!" The leader thug happily announced.

"Oh, please! Sleeping Beauty wishes she was as hot as me!" Power Girl said.

"Got me there. Now...what shall we do to you first? Beat you up, electrocute you? Lick whipped cream off your body?" The leader thug said, unsure of how to start torturing her.

"As much as I like whipped cream, you even touch me with that tongue, I'll rip it off...with my teeth!" Power Girl threatened.

"Ooh! Feisty and snarky! This'll make torturing you so much more fun! How do you keep your boyfriend away?" The leader thug asked.

"Ugh! Please, I don't have one!" Power Girl admitted.

"You don't?! But you're so sexy!"

"Having a boyfriend comes with complications. One minute, you're in love with someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with, and then, bang! That same boyfriend gets shot in the head by some drug dealer. I don't need that kind of heartbreak." Power Girl said.

"That's deep. But having someone who you can confide in can be helpful." The leader thug said.

-Downtown Diner-

Hulk is sitting in a booth at a local diner, eating a platter of pancakes, waffles, eggs and bacon, downing it with a thermos filled with chocolate milk. All the waitresses are looking at him flirtatiously.

"I wonder how he got so big." One of them said.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" Another asked.

"Is he a virgin?" A third asked.

"I can literally hear everything you're saying, girls." Hulk said.

"Sorry." The girls said in unison. Hulk chuckled at their embarrassing blunder before he resumed eating. Hulk put down his silverware before pointing to one of the three women. She walked over to him.

"What's your name?" Hulk asked.

"Amber. Amber Hollis." She said, coyly smiling before putting a hand through her thick blonde hair. Hulk pulled out a large pile of cash, as much as $20. Amber's eyes widened as he put the cash next to an empty platter; Hulk had eaten all the food that was brought to him. He then told the other two waitresses to come over to him. Once they did, he gave each of them $30 as extra payment.

"Oh, no! You don't need to do that!"

"I know I don't, but I want to. Think of it as...a reward for being so kindly and pretty." Hulk said. The waitresses giggle at his remark and accept the extra tip.

"Will we see you again?" The women ask. Hulk stops in his tracks and turns around.

"Do you want to?" He asked.

"You bet." They said, flirtatiously. Hulk smiled at the concept of seeing them again.

"Then you will see me again. I guarantee it. Later." Hulk said as he walked out of the diner.

"Bye!" The women said in unison before sighing loudly.

"He's so handsome..." Amber said to herself, unaware that the other two heard her.

-Abandoned Warehouse-

Power Girl was still restrained. The thugs were getting impatient. The leader thug approached the restrained heroine.

"Look. We're getting bored, so we're going to torture you. It's nothing personal."

"Pfftt! 'Torture me'. Idiot, do whatever you want. Dozens of villains have tried, but...they've never broken me." Power Girl boasted.

"Let's agree to disagree." He said before pushing a button on a remote. Several robotic arms rose from the ground, wiggling their long fingers. Expecting to get slapped or strangled, Power Girl was unprepared for what actually happened. The arms slid under her costume, up her slender legs and down her arms and two arms even slid between her perfect breasts. She let out a cry not of pain, but pleasure.

"Ohhhhh..." She moaned. However, she started laughing, as she felt her thighs and armpits were being tickled. She could handle being assaulted and tortured, but tickling was something she had zero tolerance for. The thugs taunted Power Girl, who was furiously tugging her restraints, but to no avail.

"Hahahahahaha! Wait! Stop! Don't tickle me! Make them stop! Oh, Rao! That tickles! Gahahahahahahahad!" Power Girl said, unable to handle the torture.

"Ha! Who'd thought that tickling was Power Girl's greatest weakness?" The leader thug asked as he amplified the speed of the arms torturing Power Girl.

"Tickle, tickle, tickle..." One of the thugs teased.

"Shut up! Oh, crap! Not my armpits, please! Stop it! Hahahaha! Come on! Seriously! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Please...stop! I hate being tickled! Oh, my God! Stop it, stop it, stop it! I'll do anything you want! Just stop this tickle machine! I can't take this anymore! Please stop! Please, please, please! Help!" Power Girl screamed, hoping someone would hear and come save her.

To be continued...

Will Power Girl be able to endure this childish but painful torture?

What other cruel treatments do the thugs have planned for the buxom superheroine?
