The meeting had started and all around people of stature had taken seats, however in his grand speech upon which the small worm known as Mr Mind had introduced his new Monster Society, he had called me specifically his protégé. As the cold-hearted killer that he has slowly made me, I take my seat with a pursed lip smile that chillingly spreads across my face.
I take my time to look around the hall, at the back I see faces that I have seen before, like in a dream their names recall with a light vagueness that washes over me, I know they are all bad people, but the facts surrounding their no doubt incarceration escapes me. A female shaped like a giant cat, her name represents that for she is the Cheetah. Next to her is a man wearing a simple containment suit, strange I look at him and remember he artificially generates my own powers, the simple cold-hearted killer that is Mr Freeze.
Stepping up out of my seat, I try and make my way through the crowd, which despite the personal introduction from our benefactor, mostly I go unnoticed as I walk between the many faces that make up most of Gothams; if not the worlds crime rates. I’m not sure as to why I blend in so well, after all my skin is blue and my body still radiates a certain degree of cold which Mr Mind believes is still a temporary side effect of my mental condition, he believes that deep down somewhere in the recesses of my brain I still long to be something more than a killer.
But like the very concept, I push the thoughts of anything other than the business I was sent here to achieve to one side, this is nothing more than a large scale recruitment drive. I reach the female animal and introduce myself, at first she almost ignores me, that is until I shake her hand. My natural generation sends a chill amongst her palm, she pulls away as the freeze burn sinks in deep.
“You’ll pay for that b###h”, she goes to strike me with her claw, I cover my face but am surprised when no attack comes, instead my ears are filled with the sound of an impact on metal. I open my eyes and see the armoured arm of Victor Fries.
“What are you doing Freeze”
“Stupid Girl, touch her in anyway and that little worm will turn your brain to soup before you would even take a second breath” I lower my hands and feel a sense of embarrassment as I feel his eyes grace over my body. “Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Victor, but to most I am Mr Freeze”
“I’m called Killer Frost and I’m afraid I no longer have a secondary name, this one suits me just fine and tell your little cat that should she ever raise a claw to me again, I will personally solidify every blood vessel within it, before shattering its core to just below the elbow, do I make myself perfectly clear” I no not where the words come from, just that it seems natural, my eyes wash over Barbara’s body and my glance penetrates her own, eventually she backs down and diverts her eyes.
“So, what do you think of his offer, can I count you in?”
“This team has been tried and failed before girl” Once more I shoot a look at the feline and she once more turns her head.
“Perhaps, but this time we have a real power leading the helm, if you have doubts why don’t you both come with me on today’s mission?”
“Really, you have my interest dear, but what’s in it for me?” Mr Freeze’s question is a valid one, but in my head I feel a familiar buzz, as the small worms mind enters my mind and gives me the answer I need.
“Simple, the humiliation of the Justice League”
I watch as the two super villains stare at each other before turning and speaking with a unified voice “Where in”

“So now what”
I hear the sense of distrust in her voice, but ignore it. “Simple Cheetah, Mr Mind is blocking the Martian, at the same time the bracelets we now ware give of a low level gamma radiation that prevents the Watchtowers transporters from placing any superheroes from teleporting within a nineteen mile radius”
“So how does some bracelet humiliate the justice league?”
“Foolish child, let the lady explain”
Once more I feel Freeze’s voice rise to my defence, but he need not have concerned himself, already I explain the mighty worms plan.
“Simple, the inability to place league members means they will use the nearest, right now we have Nightwing, Vixen and Donna Troy posted nearby. Which means by now they are no doubt already on there way, we shall engage them before transporting our own members directly on to the battle field.”
“And then?”
“And then my dear Barbara, we humiliate the Justice League”
“Humiliate us? Two pop icicles and a common house cat that from the looks of things isn’t even house trained, I think not”
All three of us turn and look at our chosen targets, Cheetah responds first, her history with Wonder Woman means that its her practical twin that tastes first blood as she pounces upon Donna Troy. As for Victor, he finds himself being leapt upon by the acrobat turned crime fighter Dick Grayson, which leaves me facing the superhero/supermodel, known as Vixen.
“Girl do you give up, or do I have to get serious?”
Strange I find the beauties tone to be almost reassuring, she is confidant that they have the winning team. That is until a burst of light reveals the several dozen super villains to appear out of thin air as if by magic. I see her face and have to admit, that for a black woman she looks remarkably pale.
“Come now, you didn’t think I would come alone”, she charges at me with all the strength of the rhino, only to be batted aside by the power of Giganta, her enlarged form swatting aside the hero like a toothpick.
Around me I see a similar pattern, as Dr Light blinds the ever evading Grayson, who without his sight finds his agility fails him, as for Troy, she has strength and even a lasso with which she seems to channel the power of the gods, but against the creature that is Bizzaro, she staggers and falls. I watch on as the heroes around me fall and realise that surrounded by the blood and chaos there is a sense of power and joy at the hands of the men and woman that are tearing apart the three justice league members.
“To the end of the League and the birth of the Monster Society, All hail Mr Mind”
To Be Continued by anybody….. or if not me next week
