The Misadventures of Super Slut, 2



Super Slut screwed up again. Gave too much info - one of El's 'suggestions.' El Muchacho could have been instructing her in "proper" protocol, as his partner, but he fought her efforts every day. Tried to confuse her by giving advice that only sabotaged her work.

That's it. I can't take anymore. I have tried to deal with him. She finally figured out that he did not communicate on a profound level with anyone. In perpetual mega-denial, he thought he could buffalo her like he 'kind of' used to. He hadn't really, but she let him slide too many times.The Men were a wiser council than El Muchacho hung with. Had he asked for their help? Were they aware of his communication difficulties? Super thought to send them a message. No. It would be intercepted, andEl would only feel threatened.

Super had to get through to him. Or leave. Time was running out. TheWickeds were plotting to block her escape route at the border. El continued to correspond with them. A double agent. No longer pissed,she had ceased to track his every move. She did not care about the others. They were doing nothing illegal as far as she could determine. Only El mattered.

She was hurt that other women, mostly lesser superheroes, knew things about El Muchacho that she did not. He knew everything about her. El is so thick-headed! Super Slut was normally very forgiving, but this was such a tremendous blow to her pride. She was a superhero, but she was also his wife. With feelings. Asshole.

El had tried to control her. She figured out that he had passed much information about her activities to The Wickeds. Super Slut also realized two rather hard-to-face facts: one was El Muchacho's gift for acting ignorant and innocent; the other was that she had always been too willing to believe his act. She started to pay more attention to his patterns, expressions (verbal and physical), and to when he did or did not hesitate to speak. She began to notice the types of questions he asked to probe her and grew even more adept at not letting him derail her focus.

Like so many others, El had always underestimated her. It was evident he did not think she would leave him. The part of her that still loved him did not want to. Super Slut decided to go for it on 4th and thirty. Her final play. A sister act.

Super Slut had an incredibly risky plan. Success depended on her sisters. Would they help her try to convince El Muchacho that his defense would not hold up against her ultimate move? If they did not want her to become a dangerous, calculating solo agent, they would side with her against him. If the plan failed, she would lose El. Forever.
