Fall of the Sunbird (M/F)

[Deleted User 1255]

It was a quiet fall night in the small town of Shoreville. A cool breeze blew through the practically empty streets. At this hour the only people out were just heading home from their closing work shifts.
In a small town like this, very few stores stayed open until 11 pm, one of which was the town hardware store. Business was typically good for this particular store, as the residents of Shoreville were a tough and resilient bunch, anyone of whom had above average skills with home repair.
The hardware stores success was no secret however, and as a result had been on the receiving end of a few attempted robberies. The key word there is attempted though, because Shoreville had its own guardian angel of sorts. Any burglar, vandal, or gun wielding lunatic had someone worse than the police to answer to. The city of Shoreville are patrolled by the Sunbird.

None of the residents knew who the Sunbird was. The only details that were known for sure was that the Sunbird was a girl, likely in her early 20’s and adept in hand to hand combat. She was about 5’6”, with chest length brown hair, and pale hazel eyes, which peered out from behind her crimson red domino mask. Matching crimson lip gloss adorned her lips. She wore a similarly coloured one piece suit, complete with gloves and boots, which was interwoven with Kevlar to protect against knife attacks and some small arms fire.
The Sunbird had been Shoreville’s vigilante protector for around 6 months, and since her arrival in the town crime had been on a fairly steady decline. That’s not to say that crime had been completely eliminated as every few nights there was some sort of low life set on causing some trouble.
This night happened to be one of those nights.

Adam Lake felt a powerful chill run up his spine, likely a combination of the cool fall air and the act he was about to commit. He was perched on the hardware store roof, waiting for the closing staff to close up and head home. Dressed in an all black bodysuit, with black gloves and running shoes. He had elected to go without a mask as he had meticulously pored over a few schematics he had acquired of the store, and had managed to separate and disable the stores security measures. As such his flowing blonde hair, blue eyes, and defining facial features were completely exposed.
Lake had been a resident of Shoreville all his life, and believe it or not had been a model citizen. He had been an honour student throughout his entire school career as well as being a tremendous athlete, captaining his school hockey team and being a top long distance track runner. He graduated high school at the top of his class, and had received several scholarship offers to big city universities. He was set to move out and start his life come September.

However in just one night, all of the success Adam Lake knew would be taken from him. A few drinks, a few aggressive guys making advances on every girl in the bar, and Adam found himself standing face to face with a crimson clad vigilante, with blood on his knuckles and two incapacitated ‘tough guys’ lying on the ground behind him.
Unfortunately for Lake, the court wasn’t interested that he was standing up to a couple of drunken bullies, Shoreville’s judge was well known for being very strict. Lake got 6 months jail time, immediately had all scholarship offers withdrawn, and as a result of the sentence he would likely be unable to attend any university for a full year, if there even was one that would still take him.
Lake made parole based on good behaviour pretty early into his sentence, or at least that’s what the residents of Shoreville heard, but upon release he was lost. Unable to find employment, and with no schools willing to take a chance on him just yet, Adam Lake was a man without a purpose. Hence the situation he found himself in tonight. Shoreville had labelled him a criminal, and so a criminal is what he would become.

As the last few closing employees left the building Lake made his way to the ventilation unit. Laying out his tools on the roof he began working on unscrewing the cover on the vent. Within a few moments the cover was off and tossed to the side. Lake grabbed the tools he would need for the task and entered into the narrow vent. It was a tight squeeze for his 5’10” frame but he could make it work.
Guided by a blueprint highlighting the ventilation layout and a flashlight, Lake painstakingly made his way through the shafts until he eventually found the vent he was looking for. He slowly unscrewed this vent cover, taking great care to not let it drop to the ground when it finally came loose. Pulling it back into the vent he set it aside along with the flashlight, blueprints and screwdriver. Lake then retrieved a long coil of thick rope that had been wrapped around his shoulder and torso, with a large metal hook attached to one end. He drove the hook into the floor of the shaft, and let the rope uncoil and fall to the floor.

Within seconds Lake had repelled down to the floor of the hardware store, and set out immediately to find the cash registers. The vent opening had dumped him in an aisle near the front of the store so he just needed to reach the end of the aisle and he’d be at his objective. As he jogged to the end of the aisle and rounded the corner the row of checkout lanes came into view. Lake set out to the first cash but couldn’t have made it more than a few feet when suddenly a figure dropped from the ceiling, landing gracefully in front of him. The Sunbird had arrived.

“What the hell are you doing here!?” Lake demanded. “I could ask you the same thing, but I think the answer is self explanatory.” Replied the masked heroine. “Look, I don’t want any trouble, I’m-” Lake started but was cut off. “If you didn’t want any trouble, you wouldn’t be breaking into locked up stores at night.” The Sunbird began walking towards Adam, who stood his ground. As she approached she sort of leaned forward, in the way you might if you thought you saw something familiar. “Wait a second… You’re that bar fighter guy aren’t you? Alan or something like that, right?” Adam snorted with disgust. “Yep that’s me, Alan the robber.” He replied with sarcasm dripping off every word.
“Well if you’re going to be rude about it, then this conversation is over. You’re going back to prison. Now!” Sunbird shouted and began to quickly advance towards Adam. “I’m not going back, and you’re not going to stop me this time!” Adam shouted in reply, but his body language betrayed his confident nature in this moment as he began to back away. “So much for good behaviour, let’s just get this over with.” Sunbird said impatiently. With that she pounced.

Or at least she tried to pounce. She only just got off the ground when something snagged her ankles and went taught immediately, causing her to crash to the floor only a foot away from Adam. “What the hell?” Sunbird muttered to herself, shaken up slightly from the impact. She rolled onto her back and turned her gaze towards her ankles.
“What the hell!” She repeated angrily as she saw a coil of white rope wrapped around her ankles and cinched in the middle. She reached to untie the rope when something in her peripheral caught her attention. She turned her head to the right just in time to see another white rope come flying out of the darkness. Sunbird instinctively raised her hands, now clenched in fists, in front of her face.
The rope latched onto her right wrist and pulled it around behind her back so quickly she could barely process the action. Within seconds the rope had attached itself to her left wrist and was now quickly winding its way up her arms, growing ever tighter with each rotation. Sunbird gasped as her arms were pulled behind her by the living coil, so tight now that her elbows were touching. She began to panic as she looked over her shoulder to see several knots being made now at her wrists and across her forearms, then felt another knot being tied at her wrists.

Adam seized the opportunity to begin calmly emptying all the cash registers of their money, which he then placed into a large bag he had brought with him. “Hey! Stop!” Called Sunbird as she struggled to get to her feet. “No, I don’t think I will.” Adam mockingly replied. Sunbird, determined as ever to do her duty, began comically hopping over to Adam. Noticing this Adam couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.
“You won’t be laughing when I kick your ass!” Sunbird angrily shouted. Not taking her seriously at all Adam replied “You’re really cute when you’re mad, you know that.” Sunbird glared at him angrily in reply. “How’d you do it?” She asked. “Some kind of drone tech in the ropes? Or are you a wizard or something?” At this Adam’s demeanor changed slightly, his smile faded and he seemed to focus more on the task at hand.
“The night you arrested me at the bar I knew I was in the right. Nobody else wanted to see it that way and I was sent to prison. It may not have been a long sentence, but when you know you shouldn’t be there at all, you’ll go to great lengths to get out.”

Adam looked up to see Sunbird no longer struggling, but actually listening to what he was saying. Adam continued “About a week and a half into my stay these government officials came in, said they were looking for candidates for some new experimental tests.” As Adam spoke he continued to raid the registers, while Sunbird hopped along beside him.
“I volunteered under the promise that as soon as the tests were done I’d be set free.” Sunbird waited for Adam to continue. “I won’t get into what they did to me, but you can believe it wasn’t pleasant.”
“What were the tests for?” Sunbird interjected. Adam stopped, both the story and his stealing, but only for a moment. “The experiments were neurological, meant to create a more advanced kind of human, by means of unlocking the unused power of the human mind.”
“Soooo what you’re super smart now? That explains the drone ropes.” Sunbird commented. Adam sighed with impatience. “There aren’t any drones. I control the ropes myself.” Adam looked at Sunbird and was met with a confused expression.

“Ok pay attention.” Adam said and held his hand out to the dark expanse of the aisles. Within a few moments two mid length coils of rope came forth from the darkness. The coils began wrapping around Adam’s arms, like a couple of snakes. Sunbirds eyes went wide with shock. “You’re a telekinetic?” She whispered.
“I am now.” Adam responded rather nonchalantly. He held his right hand up and looked at the ropes as they began to slither up his arm, flowing around his hand. Suddenly Adam’s expression changed, from one lost in thought, to angered determination. “I am now.” He repeated, malice creeping into his voice. “And I blame you.”
Before Sunbird could even react the two coils of rope shot forward out of Adam’s hand and began wrapping their way around her legs, above and below her knees. Without saying another word Adam summoned more ropes from the darkness which were quickly and cruelly applied in a tight rope harness around her chest and breasts, causing them to pop out against her already tight suit.

As the assault of ropes continued to descend on her body Sunbird cried out, “Please stop this, it’s all too tight, just let me go!” But Adam didn’t stop, and within moments more rope had been wrapped around her shoulders, below her breasts and around her back with this being repeated around her midsection and wrists, pinning her arms to her back.
More rope was added from her elbows up to just under her shoulders, completing the rope armbinder and painfully crushing her arms together behind her back. Finally, more rope wound tightly around her thighs, and across her shins.
Sunbird fell to her knees as she was overwhelmed with the tightness of her bondage. She was trussed up so tightly that she could barely move. There was no slack at all in the bindings, she’d been rendered practically immobile.

As Sunbird squirmed to the best of her ability and grunted in pain and frustration, Adam crouched down beside her, a few final coils of rope in hand. He took one length of rope and threaded it through the rope binding Sunbirds ankles together.
“What the hell are you doing?” Sunbird managed to get out between grunts. “I haven’t had these abilities for very long, I’m more nimble with my hands than my mind right now.” Adam replied. Continuing his work, Adam pulled the rope from her ankles up to her wrists, pulling as excessively tight as possible. Sunbird gasped in pain as her ankles were now practically touching the back of her thighs.
“Just let me go.” Sunbird whimpered, as tears started to well up in her eyes. “Oh right I almost forgot.” Adam said with a smile, stretching his hand out towards the ceiling vent he descended from. Down came a small brown box, coming to a rest in Adams hand as if it were a trained bird.

“I had a feeling I would run into you tonight. Aside from this store making the most money in this city, I figured it would also have the appropriate tools to take care of Shoreville’s glorified street fighter.” Adam quickly opened up the box. “Well, all the tools except maybe this one.” Sunbird shifted her gaze and her jaw dropped as she saw what Adam was holding. In his hands was a large bright red ball gag.
“Oh hold that pose!” Adam shouted and the ball gag quickly left his hand and entered Sunbirds mouth. “Ghhhffff!!” She cried in shock at the unwelcome oral intruder. The gag was quickly and tightly buckled at the back of her head. “Mmmggg!” Sunbird tried to cry out, tears now streaming down her face.
“Well, that wraps everything I’m after.” Adam proudly proclaimed. “I’m sure somebody from the opening staff will be in to free you. Go ahead and tell them all about me. I’ll be long gone by the time you’re loose.”

With that Adam returned to the rope he used to enter the building. Levitating the sacks of money up into the vent, he then climbed back up the rope and was gone. Sunbird squirmed and moaned into her gag. Her tears fell onto the ground, a result of the pain of her bonds, and the embarrassment of the situation. After hours of fruitless struggling she’d exhausted herself into slumber.
Sunbird was groggily awoken by the sound of footsteps approaching her. Groggily she opened her eyes to see a blurry form approaching her from down the hall. “Mmmgghh.” She weakly moaned, lifting her head up slightly, disgusted by the puddle of drool that had formed by her face overnight.
She attempted to stretch, forgetting for a moment that she was inescapably bound. She was quickly reminded of her predicament by her stiff and painful joints. “At least it’ll be over soon.” She thought to herself.

Suddenly she felt herself being hoisted up, the sudden change causing her to cry out into her gag. “Oh relax, it’ll be better for you.” Came the figures voice. Sunbirds heart dropped. She looked up at her supposed rescuers face. Long flowing blonde hair. Blue eyes. It was him! She began to buck and struggle as ferociously as she could, while Adam merely floated her towards the back.
“Yeah I decided that it would be too much of an inconvenience for some poor teenager to find you, so you and I are gonna be spending significantly more time together!”
Sunbird continued to struggle vigorously, screaming into her gag and starting to cry once again. “And don’t worry, the camera’s are still down from last night, so no one will know you’re missing. I imagine no one actually knows you dress up like this every night?” Adam continued
“MMMGHGGGH!!!” Sunbird desperately cried in response. “Wonderful! You’ve made this exceptionally easy for me.” Adam gleefully declared.

The backdoor to the store opened and out walked Adam, Sunbird floating along behind him, still struggling as best she could. Adam walked over to a black SUV and popped the trunk before lowering his captive damsel in. He laid her hogtied form down on her side. “Try to get comfortable, we’re gonna be on the road for a while.”
With that Adam shut the trunk door. Panicked breaths escaped Sunbirds nose, amplified in the silent darkness of the trunk. She began crying again, as the reality of what was happening settled deeper into her mind. Soon the car engine could be heard revving up, and then moving along, carrying her to her new home. Captured, silenced and alone, Sunbird settled in for what was likely to be the longest ride of her life.
