Sue Is Already Hypnotized, She Just Doesn't Know It

"...no, I'd rather not." Sue Storm said. Her eyes were already closed, her body limp in the chair, voice soft and dreamy.

Seated opposite her, Moonstone's demeanor was entirely different. The villain's body was tense, her fingers gripped the arms of her chair, stare intensely fixed on the Invisible Woman. Light flowed visibly beneath her skin, and her eyes glowed from within; a luminescent halo of light surrounded her head and made her hair seem to glow. The implants which Doom had placed in her skull heightened and refined the villain's ability to manipulate gravity to an incredible degree. Where once she had used the alien gemstone as a hammer, now it was a scalpel. She could trace the flow of blood in Susan Storm's brain, and microgravitic waves had knocked the heroine into a suggestible state.

The Invisible Woman was at her mercy, and didn't even know it.

"Of course not," Moonstone said, in her Dr. Stone voice. "We'll proceed without it. Wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable, after all. I'm here for you."

"Thank you..." Sue's voice sighed. The heroine's blonde head lolled against her shoulder.

In this state, Moonstone knew, she could implant almost any idea in Sue's head. Yet she knew that any excessive or immediate change in Sue's behavior would be noticed, traced back. She had to proceed carefully, at least at first. To break up the Fantastic Four, she first needed to sow disastisfaction within Sue's marriage with Reed. The villain had a good idea of how to do that.

"Do you look at porn, Sue?" Moonstone said.

"Not really. No time...dirty..." Sue said sleepily.

"It's not that dirty, is it?" Moonstone said. "Human bodies are beautiful. Sexual activity is a natural, healthy act. You like sex, don't you?"

"Yes..." Sue said.

"And looking at naked people, at people having sex, it's fun, isn't it?" Moonstone pressed.

"Yes..." Sue agreed. In the state she was currently in, Moonstone knew the agreements were sinking deeper into Sue Storm's consciousness. Becoming her own ideas.

"When I asked you if you looked at porn, you said 'not really.' That means you watch it sometimes, don't you?"

"Yes..."

"So you like it?"

"Yes..."

"It makes you feel good?"

"Ye-es..." The blonde's forehead wrinkled slightly. There was hesitation there. Feedback. Some part of Sue disagreed. Moonstone bared her teeth.

"It makes you feel dirty, doesn't it?"

"Yes..." Sue said, and her forehead unwrinkled, the tension eased from her body.

"Dirty and nasty," Moonstone said.

"Yes..."

"That's sort of thrilling, isn't it? Being a dirty girl."

"Yes..." Sue said, and her cheeks blushed a little.

"That's not an entirely unpleasant feeling though, is it?" Moonstone said. "That naughty feeling."

"No..." There was a tremor in Sue's voice. An unsureness. Yes Moonstone was sure she'd found her way in.

"It's okay for adults to feel a little naughty. To do naughty things. As long as no one sees them, right?"

"Yes..." Sue said, more sure of herself.

"So it's okay for you to look at porn?" Moonstone said. "To feel a little naughty?"

"Yes..."

"You should look at more porn," Moonstone said, and her voice phrased it as an order. "Not much. Every night, before you go to bed. You can spare a few minutes to do that, can't you?"

"Yes..."

"You don't have to masturbate to it. In fact, perhaps it's best if you don't. Just spend a few minutes each night looking at porn. Don't touch yourself. Just let the images sink into your brain. Enjoy that bit of naughtiness. You enjoy looking at porn, after all."

"Okay..." Sue said.

"When you awaken, you won't remember what I've said. We've been discussing your marriage, the stress you're under as a wife, a mother, a heroine. Do your understand?"

Moonstone licked her lips. She stared at the heroine's long smooth limbs, those plump, motherly breasts. A part of her knew she could do anything to Sue at this moment, and the Invisible Woman wouldn't even remember. Yet that was dangerous. If Sue remembered, or even suspected, she had been mistreated or manipulated, the game was up.
