Lorna Dane floated in midair, not wearing the classic all-green skintight comic-book suit that showed off her lovely figure.
She wore a leather jacket draped with chains and metal shoulder armor, ultra-short denim shorts, and knee-high leather boots, exposing most of her pale thighs. The metal belt buckle even bore a skull in a deliberately tasteless touch, carrying her androgynous style through to the end.
