An anonymous, sterile ceiling fills her vision. Mary Bromfield wakes, brown eyes widening with slow-dawning terror. Her wrists are shackled to the headboard, her body laid bare. A red ball gag stretches her jaw, muffling any cry. The memory of the frat party returns in a sickening wave—her roommate's coaxing, the tainted drink, the violation. She heaves against the cuffs, the chain rattling a harsh, metallic protest. The cruelty of it twists inside her: she is Mary Marvel, a being of divine power, reduced to this trapped, exposed thing. The magic word that unlocks her might is imprisoned behind rubber and humiliation. She is captive, drugged, and defiled, her sharp mind racing for an escape her sealed mouth cannot voice.
