PLACE: BASEMENT of the ICE BERG LOUNGE

The basement is cold just the way Oswald Cobblepot liked it. In a large room the shadows of figures could be seen at an elongated table.

'It's freezing in here Cobblepot', Grodd protested. 'Put some heat on.'
Grodd rolled his chair back and angrily gestured to the Penguin.

He stood at the head of the table. Along the table sides were seated Clayface, the Fly, the Penguin, Shadow Thief and an elderly, timid looking gentleman with a suited up doll in his hand.

Standing near the doorway were the group's muscle. The two reptilian humanoids, Stegron and Killer Croc.

At the end of the table was an empty chair. It was decorated as though it were someone's birthday. Balloons balanced in the air, dancing to the air currents. Noise makers and other party favors made up the place mats. A single party hat stood erect on the table.

In the center of the table was a metal brief case. The briefcase called to the others to grab it and take its contents but they knew the fury of their small alien leader.

'Grodd, we can wait no longer. Begin the demonstration', the small alien worm known as Mr.Mind scurried down Grodd's neck and onto his shoulder.

'Gentlemen before you is what we call the Gotham Pest Control Kit. It was created with you in mind, the fine denizens of Gotham. With my mentor's extensive knowledge in technology we will create weapons and defensive weapons to help rid fair Gotham of Bats, birds,cats, bows and arrows, sword wielding lunatics and even the ever so-scary RagMan and Creeper.'

Just as Grodd gets everyone's attention, Croc and Stegron open the door and pull a shadowy figure inside the room... a figure that doesn't need any introduction.

'Our special guessssst, Grodd.' Stegron says.

The person's arm falls off in Stegron's grasp.

'Hey unarm me Godzilla!!', the man begins to laugh at the protestetic arm. The laugh is undistinquishable.. the Joker...

'Sorry I'm late kids. Who do we have here? Grodd, put on a few pounds haven't you? Chester old boy, did you get a nose job? Oh and there's my shadowy friend, Shadow Thief.. love the gimmick but the name.. stupid!'

'Joker, we've prepared your seat. Please sit I think we're about to blow your clown shoes off.', Grodd points to the chair and Joker gleefully has a seat and blows on a party favor. The trick tongue lunges forward with a whistling noise.

'Good. Now that we're all here let's talk about why you're here. Let's talk about VIBRANIUM!!', Grodd is interrupted by the clown prince of crime..

'Vibrators!! Did you say vibrators?'

'No. VIBRANIUM!!! An element only found in Wakanda. An element that is able to absorb vibrations. It's powers are limitless.' Grodd continues to sell the product.

'One of you is wearing shoes with vibranium laced shoes. To exhibit the power of Vibranium one of you here is able to climb walls because of Vibranium. I'll narrow it down for you, four of us don't even wear shoes.'

The villains look at each other puzzled.

Joker gets up and takes his shoes off. He brings up to his nose and sniffs.
'Ain't mine. Still smells nice and rosey.'

'It's Penguin you boobs. Chester please try to climb the wall there.' Grodd points.

The Penguin laughs as he looks down at his shoes. As he gets up and makes his way to the wall Grodd reaches into the briefcase and pulls out a small gun with a satellite-like dish appendage on it. He hands it to the Fly.

'Go on Penguin, one foot in front of the other.'

The Penguin laughs sarcastically but reaches up and grabs a chair guard railing. He lifts one leg up and pushes of the ground. To his amazement, it happens with ease.

'I forgot these Chester. Try these mesh lined vibranium gloves.' Grodd insists.

Penguin slips them on and to everyone's astonishment he begins moving and adhering to the wall.

'So what's with the gun, Grodd?' the Fly asks.

The Joker sitting at attention with a huge smile on his face and a party hat on his head says,
'Yes Grodd you have my attention. What's with the gun?'
