Let me put a bug in your ear... (DARK)

"You think you're so smart," Rocketgirl wheezed, beginning to regain her strength. "Just because you got the drop on me and you have a few fancy toys at your disposal. But you're so unoriginal. A mind map? A clone? Honestly. Everything you think makes you special is mine. You're just copying me. But let me tell you something, Ms Kyoto. You're no Rocketgirl. You'll never be as good as me. And I actually am smart. I'll find a way to beat you. Just you wait."

Ms Kyoto smirked. "That settles it. I know what to do first. Oh, boys!" she called, and her henchmen came shuffling into the room. "Please make our guest comfortable. Let's say...in the honeymoon suite?"

Five burly men grabbed Rocketgirl's torso and limbs. She struggled mightily but was still too weak to defend herself properly. The men handled her roughly as they carried her into a posh suite with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. Her limbs were shackled to the four posters of an enormous, firm king size bed. The men disappeared and Ms Kyoto wrapped an arm around one of the bedposts, looking sexily down at her captive.

"I think we're alone now, Rocketbod," she drawled, crawling slowly up from Rocketgirl's feet. Her fingertips danced teasingly up Rocketgirl's legs, then she gently tickled the heroine's labia.

"Get your hands off of me, you filthy cunt," Rocketgirl growled.

"My, such language!" Ms Kyoto chided her. "Or...is that a hint?" she teased, plunging three fingers into Rocketgirl's pussy and swirling them around.

"Noo...uuunnnnnnh," the heroine moaned in unexpected pleasure. Her eyes widened as she stared up at her grinning enemy. "Ohhh, unnnnh, hmmm!" she writhed under Ms Kyoto as she felt her body climbing closer and closer to ecstasy.

Her eyes clinched shut as Ms Kyoto rubbed her clit slowly at first, then faster and faster. She squealed as she felt her pussy clench and lubricate around Ms Kyoto's fingers.

"Are you ready, Rocketgirl?" Ms Kyoto's husky voice drawled. "Are you ready to cum?"

"Yes...ohh, yes!" Rocketgirl whispered.

Ms Kyoto removed her hand from Rocketgirl's pussy and crawled up to look into her eyes. Rocketgirl gasped, her eyes flashing open and darting about in search of the source of pleasure that had been so harsly removed.

"No orgasm for you, my sweet," Ms Kyoto said. "We could have started with that, but then you had to go and insult my intelligence. You think I'm stupid? You'll soon find out what stupid is."

Rocketgirl frowned in shame and fear. She couldn't believe she'd almost let this woman bring her to orgasm.

Ms Kyoto reached into a pouch on her belt and retrieved a small glass vial with a cork stopper. She held it before Rocketgirl's eyes so the heroine could see its contents. Inside, a thin yellow worm, no longer than half an inch, wriggled, struggling to grip the glass walls.

"I'm so smart, My Lissa, that I bred this creature in my lab. It's one of my first experiments in genetics. I call it an earworm. Let me show you why."

She uncapped the vial, then used her left hand to turn Melissa's head and push her right cheek into the mattress.

"Owwww!" Melissa wailed. "Stop it. Stop it! Get off of me! Let go of me!" she screamed.

But Ms Kyoto pushed down hard, not giving Rocketgirl any leverage. Melissa struggled to see out of the corner of her eye when the glass vial touched her left ear. She heard the air close around her ear as Ms Kyoto turned the vial upside down around the entrance to her ear. There was a muffled "tap, tap" as Ms Kyoto tapped the bottom of the vial to loosen the earworm.

Suddenly there was a cool, sticky sensation as the earworm fell into Melissa's ear. "Nyughhh!" she squealed in disgust. Again she tried to wrench her head from under Ms Kyoto's hand, to no avail.

The glass vial removed from her ear, Ms Kyoto gently flicked the worm's hind end from outside Melissa's ear to join the rest of the worm inside her ear. Then Ms Kyoto leaned down, her lips milimeters from the mighty Rocketgirl's ear.

"Go on, my precious little earworm," she cooed softly. "Crawl into Rocketgirl's ear. Go as far as you can, my love. Wriggle deep inside her head and you'll find a nice, soft, warm brain to make your new home in."

She blew gently into Rocketgirl's ear, watching as the worm crawled further inside, gradually disappearing from view.

Only then did she release her hand from Rocketgirl's head.

The heroine whipped her head around. Her left ear tickled as the earworm crawled further inside her head. All sound was muffled for a moment as the earworm crossed her eardrum and found its way to her inner ear. "No no no no!" she screamed. "Get out! Get out! Get it out of me! Get it OUT!" She beat her left ear against the pillow over and over, harder and harder, **** to shake the earworm loose. But its grip was too strong, and it was already too far inside her head. It wouldn't come out; it only kept crawling deeper.

"Hm, yes, good plan, Rocketgirl," Ms Kyoto said sarcastically. "Yelling at a worm inside your head and beating your head against a soft surface to try to shake it loose when you know perfectly well it's never coming out. Got any other brilliant ideas in that brain of yours?"

Melissa glared daggers at her, twitching mildly at the discomfort of having a worm crawl into her head. "Fuck you."

"Oh, no, my dear, that ship has sailed," Ms Kyoto chuckled. "Remember? You called me stupid, so now I'm going to show you what stupid really means. There's something you should know about that earworm crawling around inside your head. It eats brains." She stopped talking and just smiled broadly down at the heroine.

As the earworm entered Rocketgirl's brain, Melissa's eyes rolled around and she felt queasy. She gagged briefly. "It...it does what?" she stammered.

"Reached your brain now, has it?" Ms Kyoto asked rhetorically. "Not to worry. Eventually you may not even feel it in there. After all, you won't have any brains once it's done eating them."

"NYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Rocketgirl screamed as she felt an indescribably sharp pain inside her head.

"Oh, it's already started eating! How marvelous. I wonder how long before it starts reproducing."

Rocketgirl's eyes practically bulged out of her head. "Before it starts WHAT!?"

"Oh, did I neglect to mention? The earworm reproduces asexually. It doesn't need a mate. It just needs to be healthy and well fed. And with a brain as big, powerful, and smart as yours, well, your new little friend should be plenty well fed. Or, don't you think?" she asked, finger to her chin and head cocked to the side.

"No," Rocketgirl whispered, then more feverishly, her volume rising, "No, no, no, no!"

"Ohh, yes, my dear," Ms Kyoto replied. "Now, you won't have anything to fear for a while yet. What's the saying, humans only use 10% of their brains? Well, I've got a detailed map of your brain at my disposal, and I've programmed your earworm to target your lobes in a very specific sequence. This earworm, and all of its offspring, will start by targeting the 90% of your brain that you're not using anyway. That shouldn't be so bad, should it?"

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHH!" Rocketgirl screamed as the earworm took another bite.

Ms Kyoto shrugged. "Admittedly, it doesn't sound like you're enjoying the experience. But at least you won't lose anything important until the process is 90% complete."

"That's never going to happen, Ms Kyoto," Rocketgirl said through clenched teeth. "I'll get out of here, I'll get your stupid earworms out of my head, and then I'm taking you down."

She pulled futilely at her bonds, which didn't emphasize her point very well.

"Sure thing, Rocketbimbo," Ms Kyoto winked. "I'll just bet you will." She stood to leave the room.

"Ms Kyoto," Rocketgirl called after her. "If they eat 90% of my brain...what order will they eat the rest?"

Ms Kyoto beamed. "Aww, Rocketgirl," she cooed. She put her finger to her lips. "I wouldn't tell. It would ruin the surprise!"

She shimmied out of the room as Rocketgirl screamed again.
