There is a man in the Nexus.  This is, truly, nothing new.  Truthfully, the fact that he's talking to himself, muttering various incomprehensible phrases about the various injustices that have been committed against him.

This, too, is nothing new.

Heck, even the trenchcoat, hat, and silver-faceplated mask are probably nothing new.  Or, maybe they are

"I hear nobody's makin' them right." Simple question, simple answer. Rollbar straightens up a bit, where he's lounging, and considers this guy.

"'Making them'... now there's an idea..."

[alterrainterror]

"It's the best way, if you know what you're doing."

[once_a_man]

Or it would be, if he wasn't a bit down on his luck. But it's just a temporary setback!

"Or can sssteal it..."

"Well, the good guys offer dental plans, so most of the decent help goes there. You really need to up your benefits package if you want to stay competitive in the market."

Ali has no idea who this guy is. She's just in the mood to mess with people today. And it seems to be amusing her green baby boy.

That's true. Full dental and a robust 401k would probably go a long way toward attracting the savvy henchperson.

"And cover chiropractors, for all those on-the-job accidents. Heavens know nobody wants to deal with the HIPAA lawyers. They're vicious."

Nothing wrong with a green baby, as far as a snake-themed super-villain is concerned.

"Do you have any idea how expensive all of that already was?"

The decent ones want good pay and don't take much abuse from their employers.

"Working for a great mind like mine should be reward in and of itself!"

[tastes_of_honey]

Ja? With the verbal abuse, the lousy pay, and having my tail whipped on a daily basis by a team of wholesome Americans, I'd have to kill myself in shame.

"That is base slander!"
