Something about an Orchid - Marvel: Earth-USB Saga (Part 17)

I usually prefer to add bondage even after I feature sleep darts, even if it's less realistic, but given MJ's personality it was logical she'd try to make things less uncomfortable for the innocent bystanders like Amanda or the janitress.

maybe she . . . used some paralyzing serum on the guard, and threw some paralyzing dart at the guy behind the camera. Or maybe she went for lethal and the nurse was just lucky.

I actually really like the idea not using bondage when a sleeping dart has been used. Don't get me wrong, bondage can be very sexy. However, it just makes sense when the woman has been drugged and will not wake up for many hours. Why waste time tying her up. In this case the mission would be long over by the time the two women wake up so why take the time.

It's funny, when I first read the scene I actually pictured it as Taylor just grabbed a syringe that was lying around in the lab, not necessarily something she brought with her. I kind of imagined she might not know what the drug would do other than incapacitate the woman one way of the other. I guess the real idea is that Taylor brought the syringe with her and we can make our own decision on its true effect. Whatever it was it had a powerful effect given the way the woman spasmed before collapsing. Taylor certainly was rough on the poor brunette guard.

I agree that when I add bondage after a sleep dart, it's usually purely for aesthetic (fetish?) value. But I like the idea of changing things from time to time, and it felt logical both MJ and Gwen would rule against bondage when it can be avoided.

The syringe is indeed something Taylor brought with her. So the jury is still out on what was inside... No matter what was inside though, she was indeed rough on the guard. On the other hand, the guard was complicit in what was going on in the lab, so she's not exactly an innocent bystander either...
