Before them the three members of the justice league had fallen, their bodies almost lifeless as their blood slowly spills upon the pavement floor. The plan had gone exactly as planed, they had been taken by surprise and out numbered by members of the society that was suited for the particular task of taking them down. In this case it was as few as Cheetah, Dr Light, Killer Frost, Bizzaro and Mr freeze.

“Oh such a pretty kitty, seems a shame to destroy such a prefect face” I watch on as the living feline that is the Cheetah goes to rake apart the beautiful face of the justice league member known as Vixen, however her hand is stopped as it impacts against what can only be perceived as an invisible barrier.

“What is this?”

We all stop and stare towards Barbara, as she continues to repeatedly slash at an invisible wall of uncompromising strength.

“Something is wrong, we should leave now”

It is the scientist known as Mr Freeze that speaks out in protest first, “You scare far to easy child. Perhaps you should return back to where it is safe. But rest assured that an empty hand is not so favoured amongst the people with whom you now associate”

“I’m telling you Victor, something is amiss”

“What gave it away, the invisible barrier or the fact that you’re now surrounded”?

The invisible barrier falls, as does the magical illusion constructing it, as the powerful Zatanna now stands before us, her hands glowing with unearthly energy. To her left the Green Arrow, who’s face seems unfocused with rage as he stares upon the fallen body of Vixen. Hovering above them both however is perhaps the greatest threat right now; she wears a uniform almost identical to that of her cousins, if not a tad more revealing. She is the first to strike, a red blue blur as she uproots the creature that up until now had been our ace in the hole. I watch on as Bizzaro is thrown with the impact and strength of a rocket, his overgrown body slowly disappearing into that of a pinhead before finally vanishing from sight.

“Everyone fall back now”

“You are not the leader here cupcake, in fact it was following you that got us into this mess”

“For once the cat has a point” I’m shocked and unsure of what to do as both the Cheetah and Victor rally Dr Polaris into facing the heroes directly.

With but a word I see the witch freeze the very bones of Mr Freeze, his own armour turned into a prison. A quiver of arrows fills the skyline before blasting Barbara’s body with a multitude of different explosions, impact, ice, fire and electricity soon overloads her body as she blacks out completely.

In the end Dr light has fallen back towards my position, his hands extended as he throws up a protective barrier around both our fallen companions and me.

She hovers into position; in her hand she holds the unconscious body of our final teammate. She drops him to the floor before finally speaking. “Your plan failed” she speaks the truth, in the hands of Green Arrow Vixen already stirs, whilst Donna Troy proves that Amazons are built for combat, having already roused and rushed to the aid of Dick Grayson. “We have you outnumbered and beaten, surrender now and we promise it will reflect in your sentence. There is no need to continue this fight”

I react without thinking, for I realise I have no thoughts of my own, my voice speaks with the reassuring sound of something or someone else. The mighty strength of the simple worm that is the almighty psychic Mr Mind.

“Fools, this was nothing more than a test, and we proved what we needed to, that we could hurt you. Rest assured that next time we meet we will not care how many members stand before us. In the end it will not matter”

My hands also react with my consent, releasing a tempest of swirling snow; in seconds a full-blown blizzard swirls around me, with a chill that falls well below zero. Dr Lights power envelopes everyone including Bizzaro, and just like that in a flash of light we are gone.

“I don’t care what that little green thing says, today was a joke”

“I agree, I hear both Bizzaro and Victor are so badly injured that they’re not going out on any more missions”

“Really you hear that, from who”

“Non other than the Cheetah herself, heck even she can barely walk. She says she took on both Super girl and the Green Arrow”

I suppress a laugh as I once more move invisibly between the crowd, as I do so I’m forced to listen to greater and greater tales of Barbara’s acts of strength that border on the side of psychotic tales, at the same time my own gut stirs as our loss at the hands of the league has created a wave of panic amongst many of the society’s recruits.

I hear his thoughts enter mine; telling me to come to the top table and instinctively I do as he commands. I know I need to talk to him about this constant possession of both my mind and body. But against his might I fail to even stare him in the eye as he perches himself upon the shoulder of his personal pet, Stegron.

He speaks like a real leader, twisting our tale of failure and turning it into a rallying battle cry that shows the leagues weakness. Cheers from the crowd grow as he implies they had to overpower us, and that if not for the greater numbers we would have killed several key league members. For many within the hall the prospect of Nightwing’s death is almost to much as their cheer becomes more of a frenzy. By the time he finishes his speech not a single member decides to leave, in fact several members who were on the fence decide to join up. It is at this point that I believe every word the small worm says, I look around at the power we now possess and realise that the leagues days are slowly coming to an end.
