Kassy stood, invisible and soundless, listening to the rabble talk. It was wonderful what you could learn when people thought they were alone. SO far she'd found that they worked for the Penguin (not at all a flattering name, honestly), and she had most if  not all of their names. Interesting that this Penguin employed women too- she'd often seen villain squads that were very male, which made little sense to her. Why cut out 50% of potential warriors just because of breasts? 

The one named Reece was obviously a weak link- she could go for him first. Weak willed people, cowards or fearful types, were the easiest to manipulate. She could turn this man, or simply terrify him. The chaos would spread. She stepped in closer, and reached her hand out toward her target. Then, she whispered, not into his ears but his mind.

[i]'Are you on the right path, Reece? Are you sure you can handle this work?'[/i] It would start out as an echo, a reverberation of a thousand voices in a whisper. [i]'You heard him. One toe out of line, and the Penguin will kill you.'[/i]
