Tiara Mae sat upon a roof over looking the ruckus below, the cyborg called Gaurdian was thrashing a regular guy. She wasn't going to even come for rations this week, but those in her territory were complaining about the tax she imposed. She popped the last bit of green beans in her mouth and dusted off her hands. She turned and dropped off the side of the building and right before she hit the ground, Tiara Mae threw a hand out. Ice formed beneath her and she began sliding down the alleys. Those who saw her coming moved out of the information brokers way. She had enough information to sink most of the Glasgow camp.

She stepped off her ice slide and walked into the old library. Her people looked up and saw their leader with a box of food. They turned back to their various tasks set to them by the bosses. She dropped her box off to one of her lower members. Finally she turned to her second in command.

[color=6ecff6]"Put this with the rest of the stash. Leanne, status report."[/color] She said bluntly to the young woman. Leanna was a young burnette who work in the American Special Forces as a liaison.

[color=f6989d]"Miss, most people have paid their taxes for our protection against the other factions. We have also finished this months routes of the squads. As well as the Cyborg known as Gaurdian 78's travel routes. We still cannot figure out it's motivation. I must apologize though, no one has yet to figure out anything about the occupiers. We have studied everything we have on the Seven Day War, and still cannot find a weakness."[/color] Leanna pushed her spectacles up on her nose as she watched her bosses reactions.

[color=6ecff6]"Do you know what happened to the last person who brought me no useful information."[/color] She said her demeanor changing. [color=6ecff6]"I froze every bone in his body, and shattered them one by one. Do not bring me nothing on the aliens again, understand??"[/color] Leanna shook her head curtly, knowing full well what happened to her ex-superior. As she turned to grab paperwork for Tiara Mae to look at, the door busted open. Several men came stampeding in looking angry.

[color=ed1c24]"Freeze Frame!! We are tired of your taxing of the people!! Our families are starving, and you haven't given us an ounce of protection from the squads!!"[/color] A burly man said acting as the leader. The men behind him grumbled their agreements, Tiara Mae stood and slowly walked over to the men.

[color=6ecff6]"Upset that I haven't dealt with the Invaders are you?? I don't remember when I took control if this area, ever promising to deal with them. I do remember telling you I would protect you from the other supers running around the city. Do you want the robot running things?? Or how bout that Shoggoth creature?? Do you think they would give you the freedom I do?? No, all I ask is for some of your provisions. My poor people here are so busy working all the time to protect your poor defenseless families that they don't always have time to go to the ration lines."[/color] Tiara Mae began steaming as her face took on a dangerous smirk. The men took a step back, no longer holding any conviction in their plan of action.

[color=6ecff6]"I think I have been very fair, but I see my being nice as given you the thought that you have a voice in this. Maybe I should remind the rest of those I own, why I am not a hero, but a villain instead."[/color] Before the men could even scream, ice encased their bodies, silencing them forever. [color=6ecff6]"Do the usual, break them up and dump them in the sewers."[/color] She said to Leanna as she walked away, grabbing an ear of corn.
