SCPD gets new powers

Erin stood up, wandering over to where the nude Dinah was sitting, arms hanging over the side of her chair. Standing over her really did give a better view.

She paused for a moment, idly wondering whether Dinah or Laurel seemed the most flustered; even when their bodies were relaxing, Erin knew she generally only controlled actions. She could make them do what they'd never do, but the only time she influenced opinion was when she made them her friends.

So even with them sat where they were, Laurel behind the desk and Dinah closer to the door, relaxed as if fully clothed, she could still see the embarrassment in their eyes.

"Ok, not a lawyer here," Erin said. "What fun tricks does a DA have up their sleeves? Anything to offer the conversation, or are you just a prosecutor?"

"Normally," Laurel said. She was just a touch breathless, but friendship made her answer. "Most places it's just dealing with cases, but Star City's a bit different. Corruption's not much of a secret, and after a mayor turned out to be married to someone that almost nuked the city, the office was empowered to help criminal investigation too."

"So if you wanted, you could give Dinah here a few more tricks to enforce the law with?" Erin said.

"If she wanted," Dinah said. "We've talked about it. There are a lot of things the **** needs." Dinah swallowed, glancing over to her men and her cheeks flaming as she realised they were getting an all-too-clear side view of her seated body. "Can one of you go out and get me-"

"Never mind that," Erin interrupted. She focused, calming the officers with a little friendship. "What matters is helping this city. I'm nothing if not a concerned citizen. Interested in taking ideas?"

Laurel squirmed slightly in her chair. Erin debated whether to renew the 'never,' deciding against it when the increasingly embarrassed Laurel crossed her arms, pulling herself closer to the desk and trying futilely to cover her tits. Arms hugged tightly against her chest did such wonderful things for her cleavage.

"From you, sure," Laurel said.

Erin beamed; that'd be the friendship.

"Strip searches," Erin said. "Whoever, whenever, wherever, give the SCPD the freedom to search anyone they feel's acting suspicious."

"I... don't know," Laurel said. "As much as I'd love to catch Diaz, people might object."

"That's your problem?!" Dinah said, her voice slightly hoarse. "We can't just go around getting people naked!"

Erin sighed. Goody-goods were no fun.

Sometimes she wished she could just control minds. It'd make this a whole lot simpler; then again there was something satisfying about getting things to work regardless.

"If you make it about Diaz," Erin said to Laurel, "Repeal it when he's caught, people might not object so much. Plus a few less people might be willing to get up to shady stuff in this city."

The red-faced Laurel paused, considering. Meanwhile Erin sent a dash of 'never' to Dinah, plainly opening her up to the idea she'd so disliked.

"I'd support it," Dinah said, eyes widening at her own words.

"As for public outcry, I think there's a way around that..." Erin said.

Honestly, Erin was kind of proud of herself. It took sustained 'friendship' and 'never' pulses, with constant verbal encouragement to keep their minds on the prospect so that 'never' would have the desired effect. She focused, watching from the sidelines. The sidelines were always the best place to be, especially when this was the view she had.

She'd managed to talk Laurel into calling an emergency press conference, and once that had started there was only one thing that Laurel and Dinah absolutely didn't want to do. So, of course, they did it.

Laurel stood at a podium in front of a rather understandably shocked gaggle of reporters, cameras and microphones all pointing at her. It was almost a shame they could only see her tits, thanks to the podium in the way, though Erin was lucky enough to be watching from the side and getting a full-body view.

Still, they'd seen the rest when Laurel had walked to the centre.

Rather more exposed was Dinah, sat down to Laurel's side and without the cover of the podium. She didn't even have her legs crossed, thanks to Erin's influence.

God, Erin hoped this was being broadcast live. Dinah's mortified expression as she realised the city was seeing her pussy was something to behold.

Though it didn't quite compare to Laurel's blush and slightly shaky words.

Erin sent a little more 'never,' urging her on.

"Using the power invested in me as District Attorney of Star City, and the powers this office has been given," Laurel said. "I am hereby empowering SCPD to perform strip searches of persons of interest whenever they feel it is necessary, in response to the threat posed by Ricardo Diaz. I understand that this will be controversial, which-"

A whimper escaped Laurel's lips. She swallowed, trying again. Erin sent a little more 'never.'

"Wh-which is why, for so long as this situation persists, I as the DA and Police Captain Dinah Drake will remain completely naked, in solidarity with the people of the city who will need to undergo searches. Th-that is all, no questions!"

Erin could've made her stick around, but honestly she rather enjoyed the sight of the DA squeaking, thoroughly embarrassed, and turning tail to run back to her office, baring her ass to the reporters. Dinah wasn't far behind her.

And the best thing was, because it was reported, it wasn't going to be easy to walk something like that back.

She was going to enjoy hanging around Star City.
