"Let's go inside, ladies!" the warden ordered, "Move it!"
Moving as fast as their shackles allowed, they were led inside the prison and brought to a fairly large room.
"Stand on that line and don't move," an Amazon guard directed them to a yellow line drawn across the floor.
It was interesting to observe the body language of each former heroine as they stood at attention. Wonder Woman was trying to remain stoic, refusing to show any weakness. Squirrel Girl kept fidgeting nervously, her tail struggling vainly against the shackle
that held it. Susan kept her eyes downcast, completely detached form everything around her. Cassandra seemed to be sizing everyone up, trying to analyze everything about her situation.
"Remove their transport restraints," the warden addressed the guard who'd been in charge of bringing them to the prison. The guard produced a remote control from her belt and with a few button taps, the wrist and ankle shackles on all four new prisoners, including
Squirrel Girl's tail shackle, unlocked. Several guards approached them and collected these restraints. Squirrel Girl was particularly happy as she gleefully wagged her tail.
While their limbs were free, the power dampening collars still remained in place around each of their necks, ensuring they couldn't call on their metahuman abilities. While Cassandra had no powers, she still wore a collar as it served two additional functions.
It allowed the guards to track her location and it could deliver an electric charge to paralyze her should she attempt to escape or resist the guards.
At the same time they gathered the shackles, the guards also placed plastic boxes in front of each heroine. Their purpose became obvious with the warden's next command.
"Strip down!"
Obeying the order, the four women slipped out of their orange prison jumpsuits, matching orange cloth shoes, and prison-issue underwear. These items would be shipped back to the SHIELD holding facility for use there. This prison had its own uniform they'd
be issued after they were processed.
Some of the guards seemed to be enjoying the sight of their naked bodies a little too much. Wonder Woman and Cassandra glared back defiantly. Susan was still lost in her melancholy. Squirrel Girl was too busy caressing her freed tail to notice.
"Alright, ladies, if you'll come along we'll begin your processing."
