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: (chuckles) I guess you do!  Please, please, have a seat!  We’ll get started right away.  I know you have a very busy schedule, especially this time of year. LG: ( she takes a seat, brushing her hair aside ) Oh yeah.  You bet. Liberty Girl gets settled.  She glances around the room. LG: Pretty interesting place to conduct an interview. TJ: Well, you know.  I want...

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... No, Liberty Girl.  Stop.  You're not done yet.  There's still time.  They'll make a mistake.  You just have to... Do something... Even though you're tired... And weak... And powerless... 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:...

It's been days since the Equalizer and Megan first captured Liberty Girl and forced her to partake in their sick project.  Since then, she's been beaten up, tied up, and generally messed up in a number of ways.  Will there be any end to our poor heroine's torments?  Or will her foes profit off her humiliation for the rest of of her days? Liberty Girl Loses #10: Liberty Girl versus MMA Woman: We join Liberty Girl in the middle of her tenth fight, this one against a tall woman in athletic gear.  It doesn't seem to be going well. Woman: If I can beat a superheroine... She punches Liberty Girl in the face.  She stumbles backward. Woman: Then I can beat anyone! She hits her again.  Liberty Girl seems stunned. Woman: Lights out, Liberty Girl! The woman delivers a roundhouse kick to Liberty Girl's upper body.  The impact spins LG around and down to the ground.  She lays unconscious.  The woman holds her hands up in victory. Woman...

Despite being beaten, tied up, and almost forced by way of her own magic lasso to reveal her secret identity to the world, Liberty Girl has managed to survive the first segment of "Liberty Girl Loses" with her dignity (mostly) intact.  Unfortunately for our heroine, there are many more installments to come... Scene One: Liberty Girl, once again chained up and in her cell, tries to sleep on the hard bunk.  But there's this loud voice on the intercom... The Equalizer: Wake up, Liberty Girl!  Wake up! Liberty Girl, groggily moves to a seated position. Liberty Girl: Ugh.  I'm awake. EQ: Good.  Your next fight will start very shortly. LG: Next fight?  But I just got done with the last one... EQ: No one likes a whiner, Liberty Girl. LG: Yeah, and no one likes a lopsided fight, either. EQ: That's not entirely true. LG: I need sleep, Equalizer.  And you have to give me food at some point, too.  You can't have your star wither aw...
