Cadmus

As the energy around her began to dissipate, Kara felt her feet return to solid ground and she took stock of her surroundings. Based on the concrete walls and the cold hard ground as well as the stairs leading upwards to a closed door, Kara assumed that she was in a basement of some kind. Unfortunately she couldn't see much else without her powers.

Movement to her right reminded Kara that she wasn't alone and that Roulette had come along for a ride.

"Are we in the right place?" Kara asked, risking another spanking.

"We better be." Roulette replied for once not caring if Kara spoke out of turn. "I'm going to be quite annoyed if I got fake coordinates."

Kara briefly considered asking who paid for her but before she could work up the courage, the door swung open and a group of armed men walked down. They stopped just short of Kara and began to smirk at the display. Up to now, Kara had almost forgotten her exposure but the new audience only reaffirmed her embarrassment and she wondered if it would be worth it to try and cover up. One look from Roulette dissuaded her from trying and she simply bared her body to yet more strangers while waiting for whoever leads them to speak up.

Kara looked closely at the men observing her. She had seen their uniforms before. They were exactly the same as the ones Cadmus soldiers wore which would mean that the person who paid for her is...

"Ms Luthor." Roulette said. Kara looked up and saw the woman herself, Lillian Luthor standing at the top of the stairs looking at Kara with a mix of amusement and derision. "So glad you could join us."

"Sorry for making you wait." She replied before walking down the stairs and standing in Kara's face, ecstatic to have her enemy in such a compromising position. "How gratifying it is that after all the times you've disturbed my plans, you now come before me humiliated and abandoned by your allies."

"Naked and alone, I still have more dignity than you ever will." Kara spat out defiantly.

She never saw Lillian's hand move but she sure felt the slap across her face that sent her to her knees. Kara fought back against the tears welling up in her eyes, she wouldn't cry, not now, not in front of them. That was even worse than being seen naked. As soon as she hit the floor however, Roulette was there helping her up.

"I want to remind you, Ms Luthor," she said with sharp coolness. "That you did not pay enough to damage my product.

Kara wasn't sure what to feel. On the one hand, Roulette was actually helping her avoid any further pain but on the other hand, she just referred to her as a product.

"Very well" Lillian said. "As long as she stays in line, I won't hurt her further."

"She will" Roulette said. "Won't you dear?"

Kara's cheek was still stinging like crazy but she managed a weak nod to appease her tormentors. Seemingly satisfied, Lillian motioned her henchmen to escort their nude prisoner up the stairs towards whatever Cadmus had planned for the Kryptonian.
