Gotham

The sedan with a Gingold Soda can surreptitiously affixed to its bumper glides down the freeway, then twists and turns through a number of side streets, arriving at twilight outside a seemingly abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Gotham. A decrepit old sign reads "Wayne Industries," in a logo the company hasn't used in more than thirty years ( Read more... )

Oh great...The abandoned werehouse district. Why didn't God above take all these out in the darn earthquake?!

When she hears the Psycho Pirate, though, she freezes. "You..." she breathes. It's the only reply she can think of.

What? Is that how you greet an old friend. Sue and I go back, boys. Waaaay back. Before the worlds ended kind of back.

And NOW she's going to be my new bestest friend!

"Now you see here," says Jordan, struggling against the goons that moved quickly -- VERY quickly -- to restrain him. "I don't know what this is, but leave her out of it."

No can do, pops. You and Sue -- hey, that rhymes! -- You and Sue are integral to our plans.

*Hayden beems -- a manic, distorted smile slithering across his face.*

You like that? That's my favorite part.

See, god is an artist. There's no way you can't look at the world and not see a design there. Plus, I was there when the big hand came out of the sky and createed the whole thing, so I know what I'm talking about.

*He's pacing now, excited.*

But this is the 21st century, y'know? Art itself can be a medium for art. You take something old and re-arrange it so it has new meaning.

Remix reality.

*There's a dramtic pause, and the earth begins to rumble. A third figure appears in the crystal, likewise drenched in a halo of light. Geo-Force?*

It's all very postmodern.

We got "Rolling Stone" at Arkham, y'know.

Once in awhile.

"And it's been awhile since I've been to college," she quips. "What is it and what does it do? Explian it to the dense housefrau, would you?"

This is the specialist machine in my entire factory, Charlie. When my new partner ... enhanced me, he unleashed all kinds of wonderful abilities. But this is what allows me to use them on a larger scale.

*He stops, and looks up at the machine, as if searching for something.*

Oh yes. I almost forgot.

*He waves his hand, and the fourth crystal is consumed in flame which, rather than spread or die out, seems to soak into the crystal. Slowly, a female form begins to materialize inside. Sue's never met her before, but it seems likely this is Firebrand.*

When this is finished, I can unleash my power across dimensions. We've been experimenting with it, but it's needed some fine tuning.

Think of it. Where once there was one world, soon there will be five. How can that not be a good thing?

"The same reasons collecting fifty cats in your house with only one litterbox." She spits out. "It stinks and there's only so much reality can take? Or maybe it's the reason I don't let Ralph change the oil - those aren't extra parts when you put the engine back together? Maybe there will just be more people that will just be that much more pissed off at you?" She does her best to shrug. "You really don't think things through, do you?"
