She nearly had you.
For a second, your usually well-honed mind malfunctioned, letting your emotional half take the controls. Feeling her bare foot brush against your groin invoked a very interesting reaction, to say the least. Despite how pleasurable that sensation was, you had to remind yourself what would happen if you gave her just a second more to really get into it.
Then, you woke up.
Narrowing your eyes, you knocked her foot off your body armor before she could continue to seduce you, proving that her illusions of grandeur were only that: illusions.
“What are you..?” came her startled reply, clearly taken aback by your indomitable will, reminiscent of a certain test pilot.
Then, as what should’ve been the pinnacle of your comeback, you swooped down on her, hurling an emphatic right fist her way to finally wipe that smug grin off her face.
Eyes widening in half shock, half disappointment, she looked as vulnerable as ever, until her fear soon gave way to love.
“Aarrgghh!” A powerful blast from her head gem knocked you backwards, nearly singing off your bat insignia in the process. As you were catapulted backwards thanks to her own cosmic firepower, you were beginning to wonder if you would even survive this battle, much less win it.
Landing flat on your back, you quickly grabbed your already lacerated shoulder, the pain only aggravated by the fall. Smoke trailing out of your torso, you grunted in pain while somehow summoning the will to carry on.
On the other hand, Star Sapphire wore a disappointed scowl as she simply levitated to her feet, lifting off the ground like someone possessed. Aiming her ring at you, she merely clicked her lips together disapprovingly, making the tsk-tsk sound.
“You should’ve taken my previous offer, Batman. You could’ve had your heart’s desire: my feet,” she sneered, sauntering towards you in her usual runway strut.
Still clutching your midsection, you glared at her irritably, while casting an almost longing look at her bare foot. Perhaps it was a side effect of her emotional manipulation, but a part of you still longed to once again feel the touch of her soles against your skin. It was almost..hypnotic.
Playing possum as she approached, you quietly reached into your utility belt, and grabbed a few more smoke pellets.
“I will never understand your deterrence to my feet, anyways. It’s not like they stink or anything. At least, that’s what Hal tells me. What do you think, Batman?” she smirked, stopping to extend her foot towards you.
For a brief moment, you hesitated, gazing like some lovestruck dolt at her naked foot. Spreading her toes out, she giggled as she caught your wandering eye, right where she wanted it.
"Poor darling. You really are in love with them, aren't you?" she giggled, feeling the unfiltered lust radiate off you yet again. Only this time, it was so strong that your mind couldn't break through.
And she knew it.
Flexing her painted toes, she knew your eyes were dead set on her bare foot. But what she didn't know, was that you wouldn't fall for the same trick twice.
Just before she could reestablish that same connection, you narrowed your eyes, then hurled the pellets her way.
Her overconfident grin soon melted into a grimace as the trio of smoke bombs rolled across the floor, coming to a halt right next to her big toe.
“Oh, you’ve got to be kid-” She started to complain, before they exploded, right in her face.
Coughing violently, the smoke cloud soon overwhelmed her. Seeping into her nostrils, she hacked and gagged incessantly. Turning away from the smoke, she was so distracted that she didn’t even see you coming.
Your fist rammed into her mouth with a startling brutality, knocking her out of the smoke cloud and unto the open.
Lurching backwards, she groggily raised her forearm as you flung electric Batarangs her way, with discharges swirling around the steel projectiles.
Widening her eyes, she just barely conjured up a violet gauntlet shield, blocking the Batarangs from connecting. They instead fizzled out against her cosmic constructs, buying you enough time to follow up.
With a cry, you plowed directly into her left shoulder with all of your force behind it, knocking her off balance before she could create any more constructs. Driving her into another generator, she winced as you lunged at her yet again.
Before she could even catch her breath, you threw another punch her way, with no quarter given.
The punch impacted the steel where her forehead just was, leaving a brass knuckle-esque imprint in the surface.
She resurfaced with a two-handed sledgehammer construct. Ramming right under your chin with enough force to knock your front teeth out, the construct nonetheless did its job.
Stumbling back with a slightly glazed over look, you tried to push your jaw back in place when she came at you again wielding her sledgehammer construct.
You ducked underneath her armpit as she swung the cosmic sledgehammer, then reappeared right next to her. Raising your forearm, you then proceeded to elbow her right between the eyes in a straight jab.
Catching herself before faceplanting, she reared back towards you before you could stomp her lights out.
A violet whip suddenly lashed out at you, slicing across your already wounded left shoulder. As soon as the spiked tail flicked across your exposed skin, you cried out in pain.
Lurching away as she scrambled to her feet, crimson red seeped through your fingers as you clutched your aggravated wound. Feeling a fresh wave of pain pulsate through your shoulder, you stumbled backwards while giving her ample distance to get up.
“Hah!” Snapping her wrist back towards you, the violet whip tore through the air once again, coiling around your neck like a cowboy trying to control a wild horse.
Wincing as the energy construct tightened around your throat, she dug her heels as she yanked you closer to another awaiting hammer construct with her other hand.
“Ugghhh..” You were literally fighting to keep your eyes open as the hammer connected against your lower chain, once again rattling your teeth. Arms hanging loosely at the sides, you were just about ready to collapse out of fatigue, while Sapphire relied on her capacity for love to fuel her resilience.
With your head drooping downwards, and your hands anywhere but up, you had unknowingly put yourself right in Star Sapphire’s area of expertise.
Lifting her right foot above your head, she kept it hovering above your head perhaps to savor her victory. Blood still dripping down your lower lip, you could only glare up weakly at her triumphant grip, before her foot dropped down on you neck.
With a howl, you fell to the ground as the ball of her bare foot drilled into the base of your neck. Jolting your head downwards, you collapsed headfirst at her feet.
“So disappointing,” came her demeaning sneer as you struggled to get up. The axe kick had shifted your brain matter downwards, and you were starting to lose a firm grip on consciousness.
Before you could push yourself up on your palms and knees, her foot suddenly stomped down on your neck, forcing you back down. Your lips tasted the cold floor as she almost posed in her hubris.
Her sole almost began caressing your neck as you cringed instinctively. Feeling her smooth skin stroke your armor once again created an arousing sensation in your groin area, one you somehow began craving.
“You know for a detective, you really can’t see the big picture, can you Batman? I mean, you could’ve had this stunning body.” She paused for a moment to strike a sensual pose, cocking her hips to the side.
Then, her lips curled into a coy grin. “Plus, I know you like some parts of my body more than others.”
Her toes formed a sweaty embrace over your cowl, stroking it like a paintbrush. A light moan escaped your lips, but you quickly shook off the perverted fantasy.
“Go to hell!” you snarled, before reaching into your utility belt.
She merely shook her head in pity. “You never learn.”
Her hammer construct then transformed into a medieval looking spear, with the metallic head inches away from your face. Now fumbling for one of your leathery pouches, you only had one trump card left.
Letting her toes trickle down your cheek, she brandished the spear expertly with one hand. Lifting your chin up with the shaft, she mockingly blew you a kiss goodbye before cocking the weapon above her shoulder.
Fingers closing around the trigger, you narrowed your eyes, refusing to give her the satisfaction.
Then, just as she was about to finish you off, a familiar object suddenly materialized between you two: the grapple gun.
Her triumphant look soon melted into a surprised whelp, as you aimed the gun at her midriff, and fired.
The grapple hook caught her directly in the stomach, launching at her at top speed. And without a protective shield to kill its momentum, she was carried along for the ride.
“Oomph!” She was catapulted off her feet and through the air. Sailing past countless rows of generators, Sapphire still had that surprised look on her face before she crashed through a mountain of crates.
Almost instantly, she was buried beneath the wooden debris and industrial tools. As the cable retracted back to the muzzle, the only visible parts of Star Sapphire were her legs and arms, albeit barely.
Wincing heavily as you clutched your still bleeding shoulder, you managed to get up. Your costume had now gotten a crimson paint job. Every joint in your body was screaming in protest, but you limped towards her to make sure she was down.
"Actually, I do," you replied, answering her question.
Literally dragging your feet, you reached into your depleted belt for some kind of Nth metal restraint to hold Sapphire down, before a shadowy figure suddenly entered your peripheral.
Your mouth widened in shock as the shadowy figure pounced on you from her vantage point, claws outstretched and foam pouring out of her mouth.
