*It had been a night of success....and a night of unpleasant surprises. The Schemer had developed the perfect plan to blackmail gotham city. The plan was simple. through the use of sympathetic vibration....he planned to have his daughter...the lovely Alyssa Shake the gotham stock exchange and force them to pay ransom to the clique in return for protection against such action. It was a brillant offshoot of the usual protection racket scheme done often on less lofty levels. It also was coming just in time. The supervillain awards were coming soon and the Schemer wanted to make one more big splash before the ceremony to ensure his victory.
As the scheme unfolded...several events unaccounted for occured. First...the justice league arrived...but they were dispatched via Alyssa's stunning vocal powers...which placed Wonder Woman and Green Arrow under the control of Alyssa and Hard Core.
Lark turned up on the boat and caused much in the way unwanted distraction. And now...with Gotham PD out in force...Gino decided the were on the menu as well as the police.*
Traitor Lizard!! *The Schemer roared shaking his fist at Gino as he appoarched.* How dare you attack me!! I'm your meal ticket Oaf!! I'm the one that pays millions to keep you in cod and haddock!! And this is the thanks I get!!
*But these remarks did not stop the monsters appaorch.* Blast!! Retreat!! Everyone into the sewer!!
--
She furrows her brow...Gino wasn't acting like himself. She had to wonder if their one of a kind lizard was one of a kind or not...either that or they breed asexually.
She shakes her head at the notion, but urges her wonder prize towards the sewer, hoping at least the underworld dwellers down there would respect her claim to the woman.
--
Llyron/Namor sighed but inwardly was very happy. He loved seeing Winnie's schemes fall apart. And infiltrating the a front row seat, and chance to defame Namor's ... um, name. Even if Namor made a rare appearance elsewhere, Llyron could claim THAT Namor to be a fake or impersonator.
"Schemer, I shall engage the great one. I will attempt to lead him to Blackgate or Arkham."
With a tap, careful not to crush their human strength skulls, Llyron knocked the two human heroines unconscious and tossed them into a fishing net ... then flew toward Gino. Would his scent give him away ?
"Hey big guy ..."
--
Gino would get his scent then went to hit the side of the boat. Something in Gino was snapping. It was his liking towards the Clique. Then again it wasnt the Gino they knew. He growled as his back plates were beginning to glow. He wasn't going to let those that harmed his father go without taking them out.
--
Alyssa was not about to get her new Choo’s all mucked up in the sewer, so she carefully removed Green Arrow’s quiver and slung it over her own back before she jumped onto his back, piggy-back style and pointed him in the direction that everyone else was going with a soft sigh. “Come on, dad. We’ll at least get a good start before something else goes wrong.”
--
He's all yours....er....Namor. Live it up. *The Schemer was more intent on fleeing the scene...as it were than engaging the traitor brute of a lizard. Although his scheme had not gone as he wished....the clique were still the winners here. The Schemer believed he had personally defeated Batman and his teenage twerp of a sidekick. Wonder woman and Green Arrow were captured. What a triumph that would be....showing up at the supervillains awards show with two captured heroes.....and the knowledge batman and been slain. It would certainly put him over the top and get him the award...finally after 15 years of being nominated by not winning. No more would he be the Susan Lucci of the supervillains awards.
While Llyron in the guise of Namor engaged Gino...the Schemer followed Alyssa....watching Gino destroy the boat behind them. No matter. Batman had left the perfect mode of escape.*
Behold!! The caped creep left his batcopter for us. Or should I say....hatcopter!! Everyone pile in....we rided home in style!!
--
She raises a brow seeing the Batcopter, and tries not to groan when her darling refers to it as the "hatcopter". "Right, those who can't fly on their own accord..."
She was still wondering if Wonder Woman could fly or not, as rumors continued to swing either way. Instead she kisses the woman's cheek and sends her into the copter, figuring that Alyssa could keep the woman under control should anything happen.
"Where are we meeting, darling?"
She glances back towards the monster lizard and the pinkish "Namor" before lifting herself into the air slowly.
--
"Gino, please don't use your breath. The radiation will poison the local people ..."
Gino WAS impressive. He really needed to clone a few of those. It was just difficult to get a biotank that big. The big bastard was powering up his radioatcive energy breath ... even if it didn't hit, it would make the dust from 911 seem like aromatherapy. The batcopter ... it would obviously be radiation sealed. That's when he did it. He meanted to put his hand on the big lizard's huge cheek, and accidentally poked him in the eye.
"Um ... would you believe that was an accident ..."
--
He depowered the energy blast but not the hurricane breath. He opened his mouth as wind of dangerous speeds and strength was released. He was poked in the eye but he shrugged it off. He was in a very bad mood. And the clique was the main reason. He was hoping to ground the copter.
--
She sighed and settled into a seat with Green Arrow next to her and smiled a little. He really was good looking and muscular, she could feel her form wasn’t that off-putting to him. They would surely have some good times ahead of them.
She blinked a little and sat back in her seat as reality crept back up to her and she looked around, paying attention – somewhat.
--
Lark does not really want to be here. She just wants to get back home in time to work on her blogs and watch the bachelorette. But after nodding off on the boat she has no choice but to be involved in her daddy's scheme.
She starts towards the sewer but Alyssa makes off in a direction and her daddy follows. So stupid. Why does she get to call the shots. She is such a Lark want to be. Lark is quite sure she was deliberately born with the same sort of powers Lark has just so she can upstage her. What nerve. And the way she is checking over Green Arrow is so low class.
Hard Core is just as bad slobbering all over wonder woman. "You want a napkin or something. My god. Why don't you just get a room or something. And why is that lizard here. What's his problem? His breath stinks. I hate that breath. Llyron honey! Can you give the Lizard a breath mint. Some spearmint or something?"And don't poke his eye. He won't like that I think."
She hops into the back seat of the batcopter still talking and mostly complaining.
"Why are we here? I hate gotham. It's all dark all the time and there's bats everywhere. So stupid. I want to go back to New York, daddy. I want a new dress or something. I don't like white anymore. White makes me look fat. Pink and powder blue are the colors I like. You know this daddy but you get me white? Why daddy? Why"?
--
*The Schemer grinned devilishly as he got behind drivers seat of the 'hatplane'. What a glorious day! this might turn out to be the shining moments of my criminal career!
*He glanced over his shoulder at the others.* Buckle up everyone!! We're getting out of here. *With that the Schemer guided the helicopter upward....trying to steer it as far away from the lunatic Lizard as possible But....he felt a pang of concern for Llyron as he apparently poked the big lizard in the eye.*
Hard Core....you might want to get out and help him. *As Lark was whining in the background of the 'copter'.....the Schemer cocked his thumb towards her.* I don't want to take any chances. If he dies....we're stuck with her forever.
--
She chuckles and starts to fly towards the giant lizard, then gets sent back fairly hard by the tuna breeze that errupts from Gino's gaping maw.
"Good lord, Gino...what have you been eating...do I smell shark in that?"
She pushes herself forward, keeping her wings in as the drag they'd have against his hurricane force breath would make getting to him impossible.
--
Alyssa looks over Lark and sighs resisting the urge to make the comment that EVERY color made her look fat… She couldn’t help but chuckle a little as her dad made the comment about being stuck with Lark.
It really was a good thing that Alyssa couldn’t hear Lark’s internal monologue about her, because really, explaining how she DIDN’T have the same powers as Lark AGAIN would just be exhausting because her idiot half-sister just didn’t listen…
“So dad, how long do you expect our new pets to be missing from their original homes before we have to worry about retaliation?” she posed gently.
--
Lark does not get an answer from her daddy which only means there will be more whining and complaining from the backseat. This is really true since her father makes the comments about being stuck with her.
"You people are just jealous because I am the sexy siren that will marry Llyron. Then I will be queen of all the seas! All the oceans and that. And oceans cover like ten percent of the earth so I will own all that. And I have a part in a play now in broadway production of the wizard of oz. I am so going places.."
The lovely lady that is only slightly shady watches as Hard Core follows her father's request and goes to help Llyron. She thinks maybe she should go help too. LLyorn is her future meal ticket so he must be saved. She flips her back over her shoulders in her lovely, larky way and hops out of the helicopter calling forth with her sexy siren sonic scream to keep herself aloft as she appoarches the battle scene.
--
It will be hard for them to gain vengence on us when they have no idea where we are dearest Alyssa. And besides...I would never want you and Hard Core to be befret of your toys.
*While Gino was being occupied....he made certain to gain distance and altitude. He moved out over the ocean....heading back over the long Island sound towards the clique's country estate on the shores of southern long island.
As they 'hatcopter' fled the scene....Lark decided to hop out and help LLyron and Hard Core. The Schemer nearly told her to get back into the 'copter'...then thought better of it. Glancing back at Alyssa he said.*
This might be the break we need...maybe Gino will kill her. Then we can't be blamed...and we'll be rid of that annoying twit forever. *A telepathic summons went out to Hard Core.*
You should return to the helicopter. Let the mouth and he husband to be handle Gino while we escape. If we're lucky....they'll both up as fried.*
--
Good...so long as the intelligent ones are safe...
She distracts Gino a bit more, though half making sure he gets the scent of Lark, who had been dealing with Aquaman and might smell a bit fishy herself. Her eyes move to the copter with the two non-flying Clique members, then gives the lizard another quick punch before making her way towards Long Island, hoping that Gino would have enough distraction between the fish and the future fish wife.
--
She smiled back to Schemer a little and nodded. He wasn’t planning for a rescue op… soooooo that meant she needed to get her fun in and fast before something happened. Or maybe plan for it herself… something to think about.
“Dad… I need to ask… how did you end up with Lark anyway?”
--
Gino seems to lose interest in the battle and Llyron also. So Lark turns around and starts back towards the helicopter. She notices the helicopter is slowly down and assumes it because she is returning. She is way too valuable to lose.
So with the battle seemingly wo she heads back to rejoin her want to be half sister, her eventual mom and her daddy. If they are lucky they will get home in time for big brother.
--
*Observing from his pilots chair the Schemer Noted Hard Core was heading towards them and reduced speed a bit to allow her to catch up. She had done her job well.*
Ah yes...what a success today has been. Wonder Woman and Green Arrow a pair of mindless clods serving the clique. Batman and Robin finally destroyed. and a good portion of the docks in gotham destroyed. Not the way I drew it up.....but a wonderful result.
*At this point....nothing can spoil his mood he thought....until Alyssa asked how he came by Lark.*
That's quite a story actually. You see...her natural father was a member of the justice department. The cretin learned my true identity....and planned to expose the clique. Iwas forced to.....well...how shall we say...remove him and make it look like an accident. A gas explosion in his house. Lark was a child at the time.....andwas caught in the blast. She was struck in the head by falling lumber that accounts for her current state of ignorance. I discovered via my telepathy that she was a mutant so I took her in thinking she could one day aid the clique. As you can see....it was one of the few mistakes I've made in my life.
--
She flew over along side the copter, glancing back for a moment and furrowing her brow when Lark begins her retreat back to the copter as well.
d**n...she's following us home...
She flies over to the side and simply grips hold of the side and lets her feet rest on the landing strut to ride as opposed to flying herself. She had to wonder for a moment how much altitude the hot air balloon had gotten during the skirmish, half hoping that the Bat would be unconscious from lack of oxygen before the sudden decent.
--
Alyssa shrugged a little. “You could just tell her the truth, she’ll run off crying and maybe get caught or something?” She suggested and shrugged a little before changing the subject. “So when is your awards show?”
She looked over her new toy and gently ran a finger down his cheek and smiled a little. Such a good, strong chin…
--
*A devilish grin crossed the featues of the high lord of haberdashery as Hard Core returned. This days excellent haul was simply getting better and better.*
Yes....unfortunately. *He said in response to her comments about Lark coming after them.* Among her powers is the ability to hone in on specific sounds. She can detect or speen patterns and the sound of this helicopter from a great distance. I better slow down and pick her up. If anythng happens to her thatwaterlogged loser Llyron will probably send the atlantean army after us.
*He turned his attention to Alyssa at this point.* It won't work. Lark knows the truth and doesn't seem to care. And heaven help us if she got caught. The twit would probably inadvertantly spill the beans on our entire operation.
*there was a brief pause as he guided the plane back to pick up Lark before he continued* the awards are tonight. All of us are nominated. Hard core for best female supervillainess.....you Alyssa for best female newcomer supervillainess. And I as best supervillain. When we arrive at the awards with Green Arrow...Wonder Woman and flying in the batcopter......we'll all be winners!!!
--
“Ohhh… dad… I have nothing to wear.” She said in a matter-of-fact tone, not at all whiney like Lark would have sounded. “Did you… have anything to wear yet?” she asked Hard Core. “I mean, we could make a quick afternoon of it? Dresses, hair, nails?” she asked with a small hopeful smile. It might be nice to talk to Hard Core in a manner other than blasting someone’s head off or punching someone’s lights out…
--
"Best Villainess? Again? How much space do they think our mantle has?" She chuckles softly, looking in on the wonderful young woman who caught their prizes. She is tempted to simply render Lark unconscious, though mentally, it always seemed she was anyway.
Then she hears Alyssa and smiles a bit.
"I could always use a new dress...it seems that more and more of my nice ones get ruined lately...either by heroic interruption, or some other means."
--
*The Schemer grumbled under his breath. Hard Core had won in her catagory several times. Yet he...the mutant master of mayhem...the Schemer had been nominated 15 years in a row without winning. All the award trophy space was rapidly being taken up and all by her. He would be lying to state that he was not getting a little jealous over the fact. But now...this year....he would have his day as well. And besides....his catagory was much harder to win. After all.....how many bigtime super evil females were out there? the Cheetah? Giganta? Catwoman? It was not like going up against Doctor Doom, Lex Luthor and Magneto every year.*
Yes yes....but there's always room for you to win...........AGAIN....darling. *He said a tad gruffly to Hard core.*
Fear not ladies...I'll take you all to the dress shop of your choice when we get back to New York....pick out whatever you want...on me.
--
"I can't help it that I'm bad ass, darling." She grins a bit at Schemer, then looks back to Alyssa. "Actually...darling, let it be a girl's shopping run. You'll be paying for most of it anyway, but I'm sure we'd hate to bore you while we're getting our hair and nails done...especially the hair."
She had to wonder about her hair, especially as it was being considerably wind whipped at the moment...somewhat glad that it could at least be trimmed...and her nails, well, they never broke really.
--
She smiled broadly that her idea was well accepted. “I appreciate the offer, but I’m in agreement. Just drop us off and we can take it from there. Thanks though, for really letting me be apart of today’s caper? Can you… see to it that our pets get home safely? We want them ready for tonight as well…”
As the scheme unfolded...several events unaccounted for occured. First...the justice league arrived...but they were dispatched via Alyssa's stunning vocal powers...which placed Wonder Woman and Green Arrow under the control of Alyssa and Hard Core.
