Avarella Dawes, the superheroine known as Stardame soared through the evening sky of Starling City. She had been the city's most famous superhero. She took the city's name into her superhero identity to be its protector.
She had just apprehended a bank robbery a few blocks from where she was flying now.
"Isn't there anything fun to do?" She muttered under her breath. Night after night she dealt with thugs. Lowly thugs. She longed for a challenge. The last time she faced a supervillain was a month ago when she fought Red Lightning -- a Meta with electricity powers
She was almost defeated by the villain, but she managed to gain the upper hand. Now, the rogue meta is confined ad Blackgate Prison.
Avarella can now see her apartment on the 18th floor of the building in front of her when her earpiece started ringing.
She pressed the tiny console on her wrists and it showed the caller's image. Jeremy Harris.
Ava rolled her eyes at the sight of the caller's picture. Jeremy Harris is a millionaire focusing on inventing gadgets to help fight the rogue metahumans of the city. The man was super rich and extremely handsome, but Ava disliked the man.
Harris has her direct line in case he or his labs were under attack -- a decision she regretted. Harris has been calling her frequently, not to ask for help, but to ask her out on a date.
Like most men, he wanted to have the most famous and extremely beautiful superheroine on a date.
Ava has been rejecting his advances and him calling her now annoyed her nerves.
"Harris, what is it now?" Ava answered the call in an annoying tone.
"Stardame!" Harris's voice shouted. "We're under atta-" The call was ended and static filled Ava's ears.
"Oh, shit!" After turning off the call, Ava smiled to herself.
"Finally, some challenge before the night ends!"
Not wasting another second, Avarella/Stardame zoomed past the towering buildings of Starling City and flew to Harris Labs.
***************************************
The pavement shook when Stardame landed right in front of Harris Labs' entrance.
Her eyes scanned the area and saw several masked figures standing around the facility. Her gaze narrowed and her lips curled into a wicked smile.
This would be easy...
"You!" A figure wearing all black pointed his finger toward her. "I've heard so much about you." He laughed evilly. He scanned his eyes all over the beautiful heroine's figure.
"Pretty, pretty!" The man said as his eyes ogled the gentle curves of the heroine. His gaze took in the sight of her blonde hair.
"Hot damn." He muttered as he admired the way her body looked with her white bustier and leotard costume. Her long, shapely thighs looked amazing.
Stardame sighed in annoyance. "Why are you robbing the lab?"
"None of your business!" Another masked figure said.
"Look," Stardame sighed and placed her hands on her hips. "I came here expecting to fight someone strong, but I'm disappointed that it turned out to be another bunch of lowly thugs."
"You arrogant bitch!" The man in the black jacket shouted.
Stardame snickered. This guy looks like trouble. She thought to herself.
The masked thug lunged forward, his fist aimed straight at Stardame's face. Before his punch could land, the heroine ducked and grabbed the man by his neck. She lifted him in the air and threw him across the street.
As soon as the thug hit the ground, his mask fell off revealing who he was: a young boy.
"That'll teach you to mess with me," Stardame said while looking down at the child.
Another masked figure charged at Stardame. She easily dodged his attack. As the hero moved away, the other two thugs followed suit. They rushed toward her one after the next.
'One more should do it," Stardame mused as she readied herself.
It took less than five seconds for Stardame to take them down.
"Well, that was easy." She said.
"Easy? How about this?!" A man appeared in front of her with a gun in his hand.
Before the man pulled the trigger, Stardame activated her powers and summoned a layer of force field in front of her. It stopped the bullet in midair and deflected the bullets into the nearby wall.
"What the hell are you doing?! You'll kill us!" One of the thugs cried out.
Stardame shrugged. "Maybe. But then again, maybe they won't. If you guys were smart enough to rob the lab, wouldn't you know how to use guns properly?"
After seeing that no one else will come forth to join their side, the remaining thugs surrendered.
"Come on boys," Stardame told the captured thugs. "Let's go somewhere safe to talk."
She led the group inside the building and headed upstairs to the top floor. There was a conference room in the left corner.
*********************************
After Ava tied the men up, she started questioning them.
"Okay, boys. Where is Mr. Harris?" She asked the man who looked like the leader.
"We locked him up in Lab #3." He replied.
"Wow, you're unexpectedly cooperative." Ava chuckled. "Thank god I didn't have to beat the information out of you."
"Alright, then!" Ava said as she started to the door. "Just stay right there while I save Mr. Harris."
She laughed at them as they helplessly wriggled through the ropes.
"See you later, boys." Ava said then closed the door.
"The bitch doesn't know what's in store for her." The leader of the thugs said to his fellows.
"Oh, she's in for a surprise." The man beside him replied, then the thugs laughed as the heroine went to save the billionaire.
**********************************
Ava sauntered into the narrow halls of Harris Labs. Her footsteps echoed to the empty halls.
"Aha! Lab number three!" She exclaimed when she saw a laboratory with a steel door.
She pushed open the heavy door and walked in.
Inside the large room, Ava spotted Jeremy Harris handcuffed to a metal table.
The billionaire sat in a chair with a bag over his head.
He wore a brown shirt and jeans underneath the plastic bag.
Jeremy Harris' face was covered by the dark hoodie which made it impossible to tell whether he is alive or dead.
