Super Nuts Chapter 10: Silver & Steel (part 2)

The Cobra gang hung out in a run down apartment complex that had been taken over by them. The whole building was covered in graffiti, largely featuring cobras, and clearly hadn't been maintained. Gang members are all over the courtyard and hanging out in the exposed walkways.

Lena slows her pace as she approaches the run-down apartment complex, her eyes scanning the graffiti-covered walls. *This must be the place,* she thinks, her gaze flicking over the various gang members lounging around the courtyard and walkways. She lands lightly on the balls of her feet, her movements silent as she slips into the shadows. *Let's see how many nuts I can bust before Cole shows up.* She grins to herself, her eyes sparkling with mischief. *Time to have some fun.* She spots a group of gang members clustered near the entrance, their eyes fixed on her as she emerges from the shadows. "Hey, boys," she says, her tone sweet and innocent. "I'm looking for the Cobra Gang. Is this the right place?"

The men exchange glances, their expressions a mix of suspicion and interest. One of them steps forward, his hand resting on the gun holstered at his hip. "What do you want with the Cobra Gang, sweetheart?" he asks, his tone dripping with condescension.

Lena's grin widens, her eyes glinting with amusement. *Oh, this is going to be too easy,* she thinks, her gaze flicking to the man's groin. "I heard you guys might know something about some super-pills," she says, her voice husky and persuasive. "I'm looking to score some. Can you help me out?" She takes a step closer, her hips swaying slightly as she walks. *Let's see how long it takes for them to realize I'm not just some dumb bimbo looking for a fix.* She reaches out, her hand brushing against the man's chest. "I'd be very grateful if you could help me out," she purrs, her eyes locked on his. *Time to see if these guys are as tough as they think they are.*

The man smiles perversely, enjoying the beautiful woman's touch. "You know those things will probably kill your right? A pretty girl like you shouldn't play with those. Why don't you come back to my room instead? You must be in a rough place to be asking for super-pills. I can help you out," he suggests with a wide, lecherous grin. His buddies behind him laugh arrogantly while eyeing her up, their gazes lingering on her chest.

Lena's smile never falters, but her eyes flash with annoyance. *Ugh, these guys are disgusting,* she thinks, her grip on the man's chest tightening. "Oh, I think I'll pass on your offer," she says, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I'm not really interested in getting 'helped out' by some lowlife gangbanger." Her hand drops, her fingers brushing against his groin as she does so. *Time to show these guys who's boss.* In a flash of movement, she grabs his balls, her grip tightening mercilessly. "Now, let's try this again. Do you know anything about the super-pills, or do I need to make you sing a higher note?" She leans in close, her breath hot against his ear. "I'm not playing around, sweetheart. You have three seconds to answer before I make you wish you'd never been born male."

His eyes widen in shock and he instinctively reaches down to pull her grip off his balls. "You cunt! Get the fuck off me!" He cries out while his buddies draw their weapons and point them at her. "Step back or I'll blow your head off bitch!" one of them yells.

Lena's grip tightens, her fingers digging into the man's sensitive flesh. *Oh, they think they can threaten me? How cute,* she thinks, her grin widening. "You think a few guns are going to scare me?" she asks, her tone incredulous. "I'm the fastest thing on two legs, boys. You can't even see me move, let alone hit me." She gives the man's balls another squeeze, her eyes glinting with amusement as he cries out in pain. "Now, are you going to tell me what I want to know, or do I need to make an example out of you?" She glances at the other gang members, her gaze piercing. "And if any of you try to shoot me, I'll make sure you regret it." *These guys have no idea who they're dealing with. It's almost sad.* She gives the man's balls another twist, her grip merciless. "Last chance, sweetheart. What do you know about the super-pills?"

Recognition sparks in the eyes of one of the men, his memory jogged by her mention of being fast combined with her platinum blonde hair. "T-that's quicksilver!" he shouts out, alerting all the other gang members in the area. The men casually soliciting about have all turned their eyes to the disturbance in the courtyard. Dozens of guns were now pointed at Lena, just waiting for a signal to start shooting.

"F-fuck you bitch. I don't care how fast you are, you can't outrun all the bullets that'll rain down on you if you don't fuck off right n-now!" the man attached to the balls in her grip replies, trying to sound intimidating and utterly failing.

Lena's grin widens, her eyes sparkling with excitement. *Ah, finally, someone recognizes me. Now we're talking,* she thinks, her grip on the man's balls tightening. "Oh, I love it when they get desperate," she says, her voice husky and amused. "It makes it so much more fun to break them." She gives the man's balls another twist, her fingers digging deep. "You really think you can take me down with a few guns?" she asks, her tone incredulous. "I've dodged sniper fire, sweetheart. Your little pistols aren't going to do anything but make a nice sound effect." She glances around at the gathered gang members, her gaze piercing. "You all should be careful. You don't want to make me angry." *Time to show them what happens when you cross Quicksilver.* She quickly uses her speed to twist the man's balls with maximum torque, making sure they'd never be the same, before twirling away from the squealing man. "Alright, boys. Let's dance." With that, she takes off, her speed carrying her around the courtyard in a blur of motion as gunfire begins raining down on her from the gang members who have finally recognized her as a serious threat. *Let's see how many nuts I can bust before they even realize what's happening.*

The men on the 2nd and 3rd story fire assault rifles down at her as she becomes a blur of motion, moving from one man to the next and giving each a devastating kick or knee to the nuts at super speed. "FUCK HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HIT HER?" One man yells over the sound of dozens of guns opening fire at once. "SHE'S ALL OVER OUR OWN GUYS!"

Lena laughs, the sound husky and joyful as she darts between the gang members, her movements a blur of speed. *This is what I live for,* she thinks, her eyes sparkling with excitement. *The rush of adrenaline, the thrill of the fight… It's exhilarating.* She kicks and knees her way through the gang, her targets always the same: the vulnerable testicles dangling between their legs. *It's almost too easy,* she thinks, her grin widening as she watches the men crumple to the ground, clutching their groins in agony. *But where's the fun in that?* She continues her assault, her speed carrying her around the courtyard in a whirlwind of motion. *I wonder how long it'll take Cole to get here and clean up the mess I'm making.* She gives a particularly vicious kick to a man who tried to grab her, her foot connecting with his balls with a sickening crunch. *I hope he's ready for a lot of work. I'm just getting started.*

More men begin rushing out of apartment rooms, guns drawn and wildly searching for the attacker. "SUPER SPEED!" they yell back and forth to the new additions to the fight. The gang even has a few low level supers. Most of them get their nuts kicked in before they're able to even do anything, the same as the non-supers, but two men in particular put up a decent fight. One is able to slightly increase the force of gravity on her body to slow her down a little, and another has super speed. He's not nearly as fast as a full speed Quicksilver, but with the gravity weighing her down he's about 60% as fast as her. Fast enough to at least throw a punch at her. "Get that cunt Rex! I've got her slowed!" the man with his hands extended towards her yells to the speedy gangster.

Lena's grin falters for a moment as she feels the gravity pulling her down, slowing her movements. *Shit, a gravity manipulator,* she thinks, her eyes narrowing. *This changes things.* She spots the speedy gang member rushing towards her, his fist cocked back for a punch. *Time to show these guys what I'm really made of.* She dodges the punch by a hair's breadth, her speed still incredible despite the gravity's pull. *I need to take out the gravity guy first. Then I can deal with this wannabe speedster.* She turns, her eyes locking on the gravity manipulator. *Here goes nothing.* With a burst of speed, she closes the distance between them, her foot flying towards his groin. *Let's see how well you manipulate gravity with a broken pair of balls.* She grins, her eyes glinting with mischief. *This is going to be fun.*

Quicksilver enjoys the satisfying feeling of his balls pop against the toe of her boot. "Nice, got em both!" she cheers, before a laugh escapes her lips at the ridiculous expression of pure shock and terror that overtakes the gravity manipulators face. *That never gets old,* she thinks, her eyes sparkling with amusement. She turns away from the sobbing mess on the floor and faces the lesser speedster, apparently named Rex, who is half way through a punch aimed directly at her face. *Time to show this wannabe what real speed looks like.* She dodges the punch easily, her movements fluid and swift. *I wonder how long it'll take him to realize he's out of his league.* She dances around him, her speed allowing her to evade his attacks with ease. *Let's have some fun with this one.* She reaches out, her fingers wrapping around his balls. With a twist of her wrist, she gives his testicles a vicious squeeze, her grip merciless.

Rex's high speed body freezes instantly and a shrill, high pitched cry escapes his lips as his balls are ruthlessly violated. "NOooooo!" he squeals, "I can tell you about the super-pills!" he adds in a rush, having overheard her earlier conversation with the first gang member.

Lena quickly glances around at her surroundings, only to find a courtyard and hallways filled with men curled up sobbing, clutching whatever was left of their pride between their hands. The few men who she hadn't yet got to were far too busy running for the hills to pose any more of a threat.

Lena's grin widens, her eyes glinting with triumph. *Ah, now we're getting somewhere,* she thinks, her grip on Rex's balls tightening. "Oh, you can tell me about the super-pills, can you?" she asks, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Well, isn't that convenient. Let's hear it, then." She gives his balls another twist, her fingers digging deep. "And don't even think about lying to me, sweetheart. I've had a long day of busting nuts, and I'm not in the mood for games." She glances around at the courtyard, her gaze flicking over the sobbing, groaning men scattered around. *Looks like I took care of most of them. Cole's going to have a field day cleaning up this mess.* She chuckles to herself, her eyes sparkling with mischief. *I hope he's ready for a lot of whining and crying. These guys are going to be singing soprano for weeks.* She turns her attention back to Rex, her gaze piercing. "So, spill. What do you know about the super-pills?"

"We have a couple dealers we work with!" he explains quickly, the words tumbling out of his mouth in a hurry. "The guy I know the best is named Arlo. He tried to recruit me for some heist he has planned tomorrow night!"

Lena's grin widens, her eyes sparkling with excitement. *Now we're getting somewhere,* she thinks, her grip on Rex's balls loosening slightly. "Arlo, huh? And he's planning a heist tomorrow night?" she repeats, her tone thoughtful. "Tell me more about this heist. What's the target?" She gives his balls a slight squeeze, her fingers digging into his sensitive flesh. "And don't leave out any details, sweetheart. I want to know everything." *This could be the break I need to get out of this ankle monitor and back to my life of freedom.* She leans in close, her breath hot against his ear. "You're doing great, Rex. Just a little more information, and I might let you keep your nuts intact."

Rex breathes a sigh of relief as the pressure on his balls lessens a little. He begins speaking a little more calmly, although he visibly trembles at her implied threat of neutering him regardless. "He's after another dealer's supply of super-pills. Some guy named Lee. Don't know much about the target, but apparently he keeps his stash in his own apartment on the east side of town," Rex explains, his gaze locked on the eyes of the current owner of his testicles, searching for any warning signals that she was about to squeeze or twist. "The address was…," he begins, before drifting off into a thoughtful silence as he tries to recall the exact numbers. Another firm squeeze from Lena jogs his memory. "3509 Rosewood lane," he yelps, feeling extremely grateful that he was able to remember. "He has plant manipulation powers!" he adds, hoping to please her.

Lena nods, her eyes glinting with satisfaction. *3509 Rosewood Lane. Got it,* she thinks, committing the address to memory. She releases her grip on Rex's balls, her hand falling away from his groin. "Good boy, Rex," she says, her tone almost affectionate. "You did well. I think I'll let you keep your nuts… for now." She grins, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "But don't think this means you're off the hook. I might come back for you if I find out you're lying to me," she warns with a parting wink as she dashes away from the groaning man and leaps onto the roof of the apartment complex, idly watching the sobbing men writhe around in the courtyard while she waits for Steel to finally arrive.

\*\_\*\_\*\_\*\_\*

"What the fuck happened here?" Steel questions, agitation clear in his tone as he questions his villainous partner, who had just dropped down from the roof to greet him as he arrived to the scene of wailing men.

Lena grins, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Just a little warm-up, Cole," she replies, her tone light and playful. "I figured I'd get started without you. You were taking so long." She shrugs, her shoulders lifting and falling in a smooth motion. "Besides, it's not every day I get to kick this many nuts in one place. It was a real treat." She giggles lightly. "But don't worry, I got some good info out of them. There's a dealer named Arlo who's planning a heist on another dealer's stash of super-pills tomorrow night. His target is a guy named Lee, and he keeps his stash in his apartment on the east side of town." She pauses, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Want to join me for a little stakeout? I promise I'll try to behave." *I love how flustered he looks. It's almost cute.* She chuckles to herself, her eyes sparkling with mischief. *Maybe I can get him to lighten up a bit. He's always so serious.*

The metal hero just sighs as he dials in police backup to make some arrests. Might as well take this opportunity to take the majority of the Cobra gang into custody. Despite his disapproval of her methods, he couldn't deny that he was a little impressed by her efficiency. If he had been the one to bust in here, the whole gang would've scattered as soon as they realized who he was and that they stood no chance against him. "Good work Lena. I knew you'd make a great hero. I'm sure you're just focused on getting your freedom back, but please try to consider hero work. You're good at it," he praises genuinely, hoping that he could convert the speedy villainess.

Lena raises an eyebrow at Steel's praise, her expression surprised. *He's impressed?* she thinks, her grin widening. *I didn't expect that from him.* She chuckles, the sound husky and amused. "Thanks, Cole. I'll take that as a compliment coming from you," she says, her tone a little softer than usual. "But don't get too excited. I'm not exactly looking to join the hero squad anytime soon. I just want my freedom back." She shrugs, her shoulders lifting and falling in a smooth motion. "Besides, I'm not exactly the 'save the day' type. I'm more of a 'kick the day in the nuts' type." She grins, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Steel can't help but laugh at her unique phrase. "I see. Well, I promise I'll get you out of that ankle monitor if you help me finish this job and figure out whose behind the super-pills. Even if I have to lie to the higher ups about your loyalties," he promises with a serious tone, making sure she understands that he wouldn't go back on his word.

Lena's grin widens, her eyes sparkling with excitement. *He's actually willing to help me?* she thinks, her heart skipping a beat. *Maybe there's more to this hero than I thought.* She nods, her expression serious. "Alright, Cole. You've got a deal. I'll help you figure out who's behind the super-pills, and you get me out of this ankle monitor." She extends her hand, her gaze locked on his. "Deal?" *I hope he's not just saying this to get me to cooperate. I really hate being trapped like this.* She bites her lip, her teeth worrying the soft flesh. *But maybe, just maybe, this hero is different from the others. Maybe he actually cares about keeping his word.* She meets his gaze, her eyes searching for any sign of deception. *Only time will tell, I suppose.*

Steel grabs her soft hand with his metal one, knowing the feeling of his cold metallic skin would be unpleasant for her. "Deal," he replies without hesitation. *Never thought I'd be willing to lie for a villain,* he muses internally as he begins thinking of plans for their ambush tomorrow night.
