Eleanor Bishop had always been a woman of power, and her job as a secret agent only amplified that. But after the invasion of New York in 2012 and the death of her husband, Eleanor took on a new persona - that of a dominatrix. It was a way for her to channel her pain and anger, and to feel in control once again.
As a dominatrix secret agent, Eleanor's outfit was always black leather, with high-heeled boots, and a whip on her hip. She carried a variety of kinky weapons with her at all times, from handcuffs and rope to paddles and vibrators.
Despite her newfound persona, Eleanor kept her job as a secret agent a secret from her daughter, Kate. To Kate, her mother was simply a successful businesswoman who worked long hours.
But one night, after returning home from a particularly intense mission, Eleanor decided to tell Kate the truth. She knew it was time for her daughter to know the reality of her job and the lengths she went to in order to protect their country.
"Mom," Kate gasped, seeing her mother's outfit for the first time. "What...what is all of this?"
"Eleanor Bishop is my work persona," Eleanor said, her voice low and commanding. "I'm a dominatrix secret agent. It's how I cope with the stress and pain of my life."
Kate was shocked. She had never expected her mother to be involved in such a risqué profession. But as Eleanor explained the reasons behind her decision to become a dominatrix, Kate began to understand.
"I had to do something to feel in control again," Eleanor said, her voice softening. "And this persona, this job, it gives me that control. It's a way for me to channel my pain and anger into something productive."
Kate listened as her mother spoke, her eyes wide with amazement. She had never seen her mother in such a vulnerable state before, and it made her feel closer to her than ever before.
"I don't want you to worry, Kate," Eleanor said, placing a hand on her daughter's shoulder. "I take all the necessary precautions to keep myself safe. And my job is important. I'm protecting our country, and I'm doing it in a way that makes me feel powerful."
Kate nodded, still processing everything her mother had told her. But she knew that she loved and respected her mother more than ever before.
As the night went on, Eleanor showed Kate some of her kinky weapons and demonstrated some of the techniques she used in her job. Kate was both amazed and terrified, but she couldn't help but be impressed by her mother's skills.
By the end of the night, Kate had a newfound respect for her mother and all that she did. And Eleanor felt a sense of relief knowing that she could finally be honest with her daughter.
"I love you, mom," Kate said, giving her mother a hug.
"I love you too, Kate," Eleanor said, returning the embrace. "And I promise to always keep you safe, no matter what."
