In reality, that was more in line of an introductory chapter for “worst life decisions to make”. It was like trying to out snark [i]Spider-Man[/i], you really were going to lose from the onset. Whoever the Brotherhood member who thought it’d be a [i]genius[/i] move to go at Captain Marvel wasn’t probably the real threats, but a tertiary distraction made so they could pull off whatever their intention in Coast City was in the first place. Then again, nobody knew who was running the organization since Magneto tried to assassinate President Kelly. Though they probably were expecting a different response team and not the [i]JLA[/i]. [list][b][i]THUD![/i][/b][/list] The mutant who had leaped at Carol was now laying firmly and rather uncomfortably on a silver 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer. Carol winced, she hoped they had metahuman insurance. However, this wasn’t the only thing she winced at— whoever the car had been owned by also had installed an alarm system. Which due to the impact of the mutant’s fall was now distorted to the point it sounded like if Trent Renzor decided that a car alarm would make for a great experiment on the next Nine Inch Nails album. Carol sighed as she slightly lowered herself as her enemy grumbled on the crushed automobile. She held her arms out in a disappointed manner. [b][color=gold]“That’s it? Brotherhood really ought to recruit better members.”[/color][/b] However, as Carol stood there in full “I am going to emasculate you now, k?” mode something flung itself at her back; the pink vibrant energy slamming into her back and making her stumbled into a nearby lamp-post. [color=gold][i]Ow.[/i][/color] [b]“Stop playing around!”[/b] Carol straightened up as she turned around… to see the mob of peaceful protestors from earlier begin to swarm in to surround her; all of them holding random blunt objects. Now while she easily could take care of her problem with a few Kree-style energy beams… she noticed something in their eyes. They were [i]blank[/i]. That’s when Carol caught sight of a member of the Brotherhood she did recognize. Lani Ubana AKA “Lorelei”. The power to psionically hypnotize and control people of the male persuasion. Thus this now amounted to a moral standing of being unable to hurt the people in front of her because it wasn’t in their control… and while she was completely able to take the beating Lorelei suggested them to inflict… she didn’t [i]want[/i] to. She was about to kick up her feet and get back to the skies when the presence of another superhero appeared. [i][color=gold]Took them long enough.[/color][/i] [quote][b][color=ed1c24]“So. This is going well.”[/color][/b][/quote] The Flash. The world’s fastest hero and one of the few league members who could match her quip for quip. With him here to help it shouldn’t take too much longer if more crap didn’t come out of the woodwork which… it probably was going to. It [i]always[/i] did. [i]Every single time.[/i] [b][color=gold]“Always first to the show, huh, Flash?”[/color][/b] Carol quipped as she took flight; dodging to the right as a tire iron swung to her left. [b][color=gold]“Be careful, we’ve got one of those Brotherhood ladies that wants to get in your head. [i]Literally.[/i]”[/color][/b] [/indent]
