Early in her superheroine career, long before her tussle with the Equalizer and looking for some good P.R., Liberty Girl agreed to an interview with a local journalist.  Or someone she thought was a local journalist, anyway... The story is told from the POV of The Journalist (TJ).  We join him in a small warehouse room, sparsely furnished.  There is a wooden chair before him, and a door behind the chair.  The door opens.  LIBERTY GIRL (LG) walks in. TJ: Liberty Girl! You made it! LG: Hi there! And you know that I always keep my promises!

TJ: Well, you know.  I wanted to keep it discreet.  I know how you superheroines

Weeks have passed, and still Liberty Girl is a prisoner of the Equalizer.  Her effort to convince the superheroine American Babe to help her ended with both girls unconscious.  With her resolve crumbling and her body beaten and bruised, will our heroine ever be able to escape her evil captors?  Or will "Liberty Girl Loses" be an internet sensation until the end of her days? Scene One: Liberty Girl sits silently in her cell, chained up in the usual way. LG (internal monologue): There's just... No way out.  They've won.  They've beaten me.  I can't...

MM (via intercom): You awake in there, Liberty Girl? LG: What do you want? MM: I just wanted to read some stats to you, and let you know how the business is doing. LG: I don't care. MM: Listen
