Just A Little Sneak-Peek At The Latest 'Snapshot' - ~Just One Step At A Time :: And Closer To Destiny...~
The Home Of The Reeveverse Alternate Universes Fanfictions
Bad things happened to heroes. That wasn’t news. Steph had been threatened, beaten up, and kidnapped (once by her own dad), and a couple times the bad guys had tried to kill her. None had succeeded, and even during the other stuff she hadn’t felt like she was in a huge amount of danger. Well, not most of the time. There was always Batman or Batgirl or Robin on the way. Plus the people who tried to hurt her often underestimated her, and that worked to Steph’s advantage. Especially as Robin—the bad guys were too busy laughing at a blonde Robin with boobs, and they let down their guard enough for her to get her licks in.
Now, though, she was scared. After standing up and moving her arms rhythmically within the limits of the cuffs, she got enough feeling back to try working on escaping. First she took stock of her situation. The cuffs were welded to a chain that ran up to a high ceiling somewhere in the darkness overheard. She was nauseous from the blow to her head, and aching all over from the fight earlier and hanging unconscious by her wrists. Her kit was gone, including the lock-picks normally stashed in her gauntlets. She just had her costume itself and her wits.
After a few moments, Steph realized why this situation frightened her so much. It wasn’t being held captive, it wasn’t waking up alone in a big dark room and having to wonder what the bad guys wanted. It was a small detail: the welded cuffs. Someone had taken the time and trouble to weld a set of steel handcuffs to a chain. That meant they used this setup a lot, and didn’t want any chance of someone slipping away.
It meant this might’ve been an unplanned capture, but whoever had her had done this before.

And this is just the start. ;)
Ah yes, the moment when things turn on a dime (assuming this goes to his reveal).
Nope, not quite that far. This is just the first save.
As in the helicopter save? Because that's what I meant by "reveal." Oh and your icon? *points to my Lois* You know she's gotta love it on occasion.
Oh, okay. The helicopter save is it. :D I'm hoping we'll have it knocked out by the weekend. I REALLY want to get this one up and posted. I really like the history we came up with.
