Nobele’s Café: Paris:

They have been small talking for the better part of an hour, their work in part of the group that was Checkmate has lead them to become close friends, over two highly priced coffees they smile and laugh. Vixen had promised Ted that this café was one of the best and as always having now tasted most of their desert list; he slowly had to agree with her.
“Feeling sentimental” Vixens smile was like a cat, it shone from ear to ear. Her natural beauty made it clear why she is still one of the world’s top models.
“I don’t understand” Ted’s tone spoke the truth, he hadn’t a clue what Mari was driving it and had learned long ago to just ask, rather than keep pushing at unrevealing the hidden answer.
“Well the last time you brought more me here, well we did some damage Ted and anyone that knows you like I do, understands that your brain steers you in ways even you don’t see”
“Well I…”
“I knew it, so come on tell me”
“Ok I went to go see Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, withmy aim to bring about a new league”
“YOU DID WHAT” Mari’s voice carried all the passion of a lion, people seated nearby had no choice but to begin and stir, noticing she repeats herself, this time with the gentleness of rabbit, “you did what”
“I went to the big three and asked them to reform the league”
“So what did they say”
“They said no of course”
“I knew that, I mean lets face it ted they have the power to save the world themselves. Heck Bruce has always been a lone gunman and Diana after the whole what she did, heck I wouldn’t even show my face. Thought Superman was made of bigger stuff”
“Whoa their Vixen, all I said was they said no. They want me to start the league”
“YOU” once more people stir… “You”
“yeah, I was as surprised as anyone, but they felt after how I dealt with Max that I should lead, as always they will be there for any real threat that we cant handle”
So then that only leaves one unanswered question Ted”
“Which is?”
“Why are we here?”
“Come on Mari, you was par of the line up the last time they formed the league, you’re a heavy hitter, you have tracking abilities and your smart”
“You left out beautiful”
“And beautiful, we need you”
“I’m not so sure it’s that black and white, I mean I like the league. But…” Mari brings her arms ups around, the temperature hasn’t changed it’s the conversation that’s gotten colder. “I have my own lead I’ve been working on and I’m not going to lie to you Ted, I could do with backup, but are we ready”
“Ready?”
“To take over the power, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman hell even J’onn they all had a role and I don’t just mean the powers. They are the league, for Christ sakes I been saving the world for better part of a decade and I’m still known as the beauty queen”
“Then we change that, starting now and just what the hell is this lead you’ve been working on. I heard something that you had just escaped from Waller, I didn’t even know she was still operating”
“You had better believe that snake would never lay down and die, heck it wouldn’t surprise me if she was the devil”
“Waller is a tactician, she plans for worse case scenario”
“Yeah and where it, hell Ted she’s even tied up with Lex”
“Have you any proof?”
“No but I believe I could get it, damn it they wanted information, she’s planning something and when it hits the world will feel it”
“So then you’re in?”
“I’m in ted, but on one condition”
“Name it” now its Ted’s turn to smile.
“No matter what happens, we keep pushing with this one, call it woman’s intuition, a sixth sense. Something bad is coming”
“Then the league will be there to stop it”

“Come on J’onn what is this, do I look like I’ve just been born?”
“This is merely a test Vixen, with Wonder Woman and Superman of the team we need to understand everyone’s strengths so as best utilise players in the field”
“This isn’t chess J’onn and I’m not a pawn”
“Merely a choice of phrase. Now defend yourself” j’onn’s words become sharp as the communications line goes quiet. Instead the holographic projectors immerse me in a vision of fields and warm son.
However all of the illusion is shattered as my opponent comes out of hiding, materialising in front of me, her American coloured clothing reveals the body of a woman in full bloom, her golden lasso hangs elegantly to one side as tiara shines in the light.
“You have got to be shitting me?”
