Batgirl raced down the streets of Gotham on her custom made motorcycle. The people on the streets gawked as she went by. It had been a while since the citizens of Gotham had seen Batgirl, but she was still revered like a celebrity.

Batgirl was racing towards the Gotham Plaza hotel. She had gotten a tip that a Mesmera, Gotham's latest supervillian, was planning to enslave Hollywood superstar Emilio Rexon. Mesmera had been on the scene for about a month or so now, she was reputed to have
irresistible hypnotic powers. She had been turning local high profile business men into her mindless slaves, quickly signing over there life savings. That was all going to come to an end tonight though, Batgirl was going to stop the hypnotic harlet!

There was something strange though, Batgirl couldn't quite figure out how she got the tip about Rexon. She just seemed to know that he was in danger, and in room 4413. She couldn't worry about that now though, she had to focus.
Batman had been too busy trying to bring down Two-Face in the last few weeks to stop Mesmera's evil plan. Batgirl knew this was her chance to prove that she could be a reliable partner in Robin's absence.

Batgirl was able to pass thru the high security as easily as Mesmera. The pressure was really on now though. Hundreds of people saw Batgirl enter the hotel. They would know it had something to do with Emilio Rexon. Batgirl had butterflies in her stomach. What if she was unable to defeat Mesmera? She had never taken a supervillian on alone before. She was really beginning to doubt herself, but she still rushed to room 4413.

As she reached the room, she took one last deep

breath, then busted the door down with one strong kick. As she exploded into the room, she saw Mesmera on top of Rexon, obviously in the middle of hypnotizing him. Rexon just sat there, frozen, Batgirl could tell he was already deep under. Mesmera turned and stared at the black leather interruption in the doorway.

Batgirl could feel her stare, Mesmera's eyes felt so intense as they caught Batgirl's attention. Mesmera looked familiar, but Batgirl couldn't place her. She did notice how beautiful the villianess was though. She was physically perfect, the most beautiful woman Batgirl had ever seen. Batgirl knew she should spring into action, but she wasn't sure what to do next. She just stood

in the doorway, frozen.

Batgirl didn't even realize she was paralyzed at first. She was too busy studying Mesmera. Batgirl was surprised that Mesmera didn't even flinch when the door was kicked in. She just turned back to Rexon, looked in his eyes and said, "Sleep for me now, until I command you to awaken". Rexon's eyes closed. Mesmera slowly and fluently dismounted from the actor. Batgirl noticed how she moved with such grace. Mesmera stood up, and stared right at the frozen Batgirl. She would not break eye contact as she took off her evening gloves.

Everything Mesmera did during an induction was purposeful. Even the subtle message of removing the evening gloves was used to evoke a

subliminal reminder of the phrase, "the gloves are off." It was time to get down and dirty. Batgirl started to see that she was a little bit too fascinated with the villianess. She tried to think of what to do next. Before she could put together a thought, Mesmera spoke.

"If it isn't the famous Batgirl. I'm honored. Apparently I've just reached a certain level of status in this town. To be pursued by Batgirl must mean I am considered to be quite a threat...", Mesmera opened. Batgirl noticed how her voice was like velvet, it had invaded her mind. It was almost as if Mesmera's voice was coming from within Batgirl's head.
Batgirl did nothing, it was at this point she realized how paralyzed she really was.
"You can speak Batgirl, but do it quietly.", Mesmera permitted. Suddenly, Batgirl was able to talk again.
"How are you doing this?", Batgirl asked.
"I think you know", Mesmera said.
"Hypnosis", Batgirl admitted.
"Yes, my weapon of choice. Quite a wonderful weapon too. All of my 'victims' agree."
"I'm stronger than your other victims. I won't fall under your control so easily", Batgirl warned.
"Really? When I snap my fingers, you will be unable to resist answering whatever question I ask you, honestly and immediately.", Mesmera said, then snapped her fingers.
"I don't think so", Batgirl said stubbornly.
"What high school did you go to?", Mesmera asked.
"St. Martha's School for Girls in Gotham.", Batgirl answered, then chills ran up her spine. Mesmera had got to her. She was terrified.
"Well, you certainly are feeling cooperative, aren't you?", Mesmera toyed. "What do you think I'm going to ask next?"
"My real secrets have locks your little parlor tricks can pick", Batgirl defied again.

Batgirl was totally lost in Mesmera's eyes. She knew she was in a jam. What she didn't know was that Mesmera had set all this up when Barbara Gordon had been in her office that afternoon. Batgirl's magnified susceptibility to Mesmera's hypnotic power was the result of a post hypnotic suggestion Barbara was given hours before.
"Let's make this even a little bit more interesting, shall we? When I snap my fingers, you'll find that whenever you answer one of my questions, you'll feel a wave of intense pleasure course through your whole body. It will be an orgasmic, arousing, addictive pleasure, unlike any you've ever known.", Mesmera said then snapped her fingers.

"I'm not playing your games, Mesmera", Batgirl boasted futilely.
"Ok, what is your address?", the hypnotist asked.
"525 Oakdale Avenue, apartment 3b", Batgirl replied on cue. Then she felt it, a blissful glory like she had never known. It was amazing. She wanted more. But she knew she had to fight it.
"Was that nice?", Mesmera asked.
"Yes..mmmmm", Batgirl answered. She was trying to remind herself to fight it.
"Ok, I think that will do for questions. I'm going to leave now.", Mesmera told the heroine.
Batgirl didn't know what to do, she needed this feeling to continue, but she knew that Mesmera would start asking for truths that she couldn't share.
"Wait...", Batgirl started to say, then caught herself, "no, you have the right idea, you better escape now while you can."
"Is that so?"
"no....oh gawd, mmmm"
"You want me to continue, don't you Batgirl?", Mesmera said, her air of playfulness was gone.
"Yes", Batgirl panted.
"You know what I am going ask next, don't you?"
"Yes...ahhhh"
"Yes you do. You also know that you've already lost the struggle against me. With just a few more of my enchanting words, you'll be my willing slave. Deep down, you know that is true, don't you Batgirl?"
"I do"
"I want you to come kneel in front of me Batgirl", Mesmera commanded. Batgirl knew she had no choice in the matter. Part of her actually wanted to do it. She secretly longed for Mesmera to ask her the most private aspects of herself...and her associates. The young heroine suddenly realized she was able to move again. She slowly walked over to Mesmera, then knelt down in front of her. The girl knew she was falling under the enchantress' spell, she noticed herself gazing upon Mesmera's perfectly sculpted body in admiration and awe.
