"C 'mon, amigo, let teenx's beat teenx it." exclaimed a masked man. The alarm bells on the here bank rang loudly enough teenx to wake the dead. Antonio Martinez teenx was still teenx shoveling money into teenx the bag. His brother here, Juan, already had teenx a teenx full bag, and was standing near the entrance teenx, gun drawn, ready teenx for El Paso's recently-accquired vigilante to show up at any time.
The car disappeared, as did the teenx senorita, leaving two teenx confused robbers in a half-squat position in the teenx middle of the road. Frightening, ferile female laughter filled their teenx ears, and the two hombres started shooting at everything, no matter what teenx it looked like teenx. The two bags of teenx money levitated back into the bank.
Antonio whirled to teenx find La Angela teenx de Mercia standing in teenx the street. With a quick teenx glance to make sure she wasn't pulling teenx the illusion-over-the-brother trick, he shot at her, only to have the bullets whiz harmlessly teenx down the road.
Maria Martina Gonzales pulled the hot costume off her body. She should probably make teenx a new, cooler one, but she teenx didn't want to teenx be one of those teenx superheroes who ran around in tight, revealing clothes. Ever since her psi talents teenx had begun to assert themselves, she'd known she had a teenx responsibility to use them teenx for the teenx greater good teenx, but she also had a responsibility to strike a blow for teenx the feminist movement, one of her many passions. She had operated covertly until now, when she realized teenx that a run of "bad luck" among the criminals of El Paso would here not act teenx as a deterrent. She needed to scare them, so she had adopted the persona here of "La Angela de teenx Mercia," but the costume she wore, a simple white robe with a halo on the chest, was thick and hot, especially in the summer. And it had been a pain keeping her activities secret from her mother. That, however teenx, was no longer a factor now that she was nineteen and living in teenx her teenx own apartment. Now, however, she had teenx to get to teenx the teenx elementary school. Her little sister, Juana, would be waiting for her to take her around teenx town teenx to collect teenx cans to recycle to help pay for a new set of playground teenx equipment.
After having dropped her here sister back at the school, Maria tried unsuccessfully for the billionth teenx time to duck praise teenx and teenx compliments. That wasn't what she was in it for teenx. Also, she didn't teenx want people making the connection between here her and La Angela de Mercia. She drove back home, tired and ready for a good meal teenx of...well, whatever teenx she could find in the 'fridge. Most likely, it would involve tortillas in some way. She teenx didn't know that teenx, as she drove, millions of tiny machines were taking root in her brain. Sure , she teenx got some hints, like when her right hand teenx unexpectedly teenx went teenx rigid and teenx stiff, so that she couldn teenx't move it, so she had to teenx stop teenx the car. Once it was stopped, she could have sworn teenx she smelled oranges. A red spot appeared in front of her, then faded away. Her memory blinked out teenx for a teenx second, and for a second teenx, she couldn teenx't remember who or where she was teenx, but teenx then it came back. She teenx giggled without knowing why. Her lip twitched. She heard teenx a buzzing teenx noise like a bee teenx in her ear, and tried to swat it away teenx. She started mumbling incoherently to no teenx one teenx. She felt a flash of rage, then terror, then lust, and on teenx from there, up and down her emotional rainbow teenx. Suddenly her whole body teenx went rigid, and when it relaxed teenx again, she teenx was no longer teenx in control teenx of herself, nor aware of what was going teenx on. The things in her head teenx had control teenx of her body, and someone else teenx had control teenx over the things in her head. Her hand teenx grabbed the gear shift, her feet worked the teenx pedals, and she drove, not toward teenx her apartment, but teenx toward a wooden house twelve miles outside of town.
"You will NEVER teenx conquer teenx me teenx." she growled. "In case you didn't know teenx, nanites don't last teenx too long. They will eventually teenx dissolve or be destroyed by my immune system. When teenx that time comes, I will teenx RIP OUT YOUR THROAT.."
"Bonita..." he moaned happily. "You are so gorgeous teenx. I love you."
