No twists, but he'll be watching

“Remember, no trying to get dressed,” he said. “I’ll be watching, and I’ll be sure to stop you. It could always get worse.”

There was a sudden flash of light; Alex blinked, and suddenly she was alone in the alley.

Alone, and still very naked.

She yelped, whirling on the spot again. Someone walked past the alley, thankfully not noticing her-

Damn it, she’d spoken too soon. They’d walked out of view, then walked back to do a double take.

“Stop staring!” Alex pleaded; she even tried to wave them off with one hand, flushing as she exposed her boobs to do so.

This was not how she’d wanted to spend her day off.

The alley wasn’t a good place to hide any more. Flushing, Alex backed away, gaze darting from side to side as though she’d find some miracle solution.

But no. No clothes, no help from Supergirl, just being dropped off in the middle of the city, with a godlike imp intent on watching her expose herself.

Part of her wanted to straightened, to not give him the satisfaction, but she couldn’t. Part of it was the doubt as to whether it would work; Mxyzptlk could get just as much entertainment out of how everyone reacted to her.

But more of it was the fact she couldn’t bring herself to do so. She couldn’t expose herself, she just couldn’t!

Somehow she found she could blush even more as she turned around, reluctantly flashing her ass to the stranger at one end of the alley, and she ran to the other end.

At least she was further away, but she was still on the street. And damn it, people could still see her.

To say nothing of Mxyzptlk, he said he’d always be watching, following-

Alex faltered for a moment. Wait a second.

She knew how they’d dealt with him before; for some bizarre reason, making the fifth dimensional creature say his name backwards would banish him back to his own dimension. Last time Kara had made him write it.

But… If he was following her, and if he left some kind of trail, anything from ripples in reality to just basic particles or heat, she could make him leave a mark. Mentally she spelled it out.

Kltpzyxm. If she ran in that pattern, made him follow in that pattern, she might be able to get rid of him.

But that was a long way. A long, long way; she couldn’t just zigzag across multiple streets, he wouldn’t need to follow then. She’d need to cover whole blocks, actually make him zip invisibly after her.

It might not work, but if it did…

Alex gulped. Eight letters, each line a decent length of street. That was a long way to go while stark naked, a long way to expose herself.

She squirmed still, hands struggling to cover herself. Fuck, she’d been seen!

But it wasn’t as though she had a choice. Praying she remembered the layout of the streets well enough to do this, embarrassed beyond belief, Alex ran.
