There's a boy reading a comic book in the Nexus - maybe one of the wandering super heroes will be able to make out the shadowy figure taunting the off-page heroes if they're good at that - and he looked perticually grumpy

"Because they're amateurs," said a woman sitting on a couch, drinking a soda.

"Any villain worth their salt knows when to gloat and when not. Personally, I'm a bit of a talker - bad habit, I know - but I know when my plans are going to succeed, and I prepare accordingly. A good villain always has contingency plans should something go wrong. If a good villain gloats, it's because they can afford to. Naturally, for every good villain, there's a couple dozen amateurs who don't know what they're doing, but that's fine. They make good pawns."

"Oh ho! Then those are the villains that should get written about! The best they seem to do is escape at the end to try again. Really makes me wonder how they sell this stupid story and make any profit."

"Well, I can't say I know much about that. I'm not terribly much of a comic book reader. I've got other things to concentrate on, I'm afraid.

"Of course. What kind of things are you up to?" This was much more interesting then any stupid comic book.

She laughed her most mischievous laugh. "Now now, a good villain doesn't reveal her plans so early♥"

And he gave his best pout. "Awwww, not even a little? I won't tell. That'd ruin the fun."

"Hee hee. Sorry, a woman has to have her secrets.

Perhaps when you're older, I'll even let you join in!"

And with that, she vanished into the shadows.

There was a long pause before he blinked at where the lady had vanished. "Why do I get the feeling that she wasn't talking about any various forms of destruction...."

[serpent_bitch]

The narrator stayed long enough to point out that she probably did. Maybe more, but definitely destruction.

Then she vanished as well.
