The Skarlette One

With a stroke of the pen, businesswoman Penelope Pays had accomplished what her superheroic alter ego Platinum Panther had never managed to achieve: End the threat of Absinthe Industries. With Terence Tartarus behind bars, the tech company specializing in illicit mind control technology found itself in dire straights. Penelope had leveraged half her fortune to secure a controlling interest in Absinthe Industries, so she could put an end to it.

But a billion-dollar company doesn’t end overnight, and Penelope wanted to be certain she understood every facet of the operation. Anything worthwhile, she would save, while cutting out the evil sections.

That was how the third-richest woman in the world found herself at hidden sex club, debating just how to shut down Club Absinthe. The easiest would just be to fire everyone, recycle the furnishings, and sell the building, thought Penelope as she toured the dimly-lit rooms.

The music shifted to a higher rhythm and a new array of dancers took the stage. It’s not exactly fair to these hard-working ladies to throw them out on the street. It’s not their fault they were hired by a supervillain.

As the sway of the dancers’ bodies seemed to mix with the potent incense, the driving beat of the music, and the delicious burn of the 12 year old scotch Penelope sipped. They seemed to mingle somewhere deep inside the heroine, igniting a desperate longing within her that she had suppressed for too long. Maybe this place isn’t so bad.

One of the dancers approached her, hips swaying in seductive rhythm. “I haven’t seen you here before.”

“I’m the new owner,” Penelope said, pulling a hundred dollar bill from her billfold. “Why don’t you take me in the back and show your new boss just what you’re willing to do for a bonus?”
