Suddenly, without warning, the Silver Surfer appears directly in front of me. A moment I hoped that would never happen is now here in the blink of an eye, right after a fight that's already taken a ton out of me. I can feel the power radiate off of him like the bass coming out of the speakers at a concert. Whatever he is, where ever he came from, he's possibly the most powerful being on the planet. Superman couldn't stand up to him. The Flash couldn't either. I don't know if Wonder Woman can. But I know I can't.

Even if I'm going to try.

The bald bastard starts going on and on about some conflict. Something about stopping chaos. It's all a bunch of bullshit considering what he's already done since arriving, but he sells it well. He's clearly bought into all this. He has the mega church, televangelist preacher vibe mixed with a Rain Man like lack of emotion.

This isn't gonna end well.

Cocking my head to the side, I hold my hand up to the Surfer, [color=ec008c][b]"Listen, Shiny Vin Diesel. I'm gonna stop you right now. You've got the sales pitch down real well. If you were offering me a Slap Chop or some commemorative plates, maybe I'd go steal my dad's wallet. But I'm not much of a 'joiner', especially in an army of some weirdo. Some weirdo named Darkseid, was it? Man, if he's looking for people to join him he should really think about changing his name. Branding is just so important these days."[/b][/color]

Jesus Christ, Gwen. You're seriously machine-gun quipping the guy who went toe-to-toe with Superman. You have a death wish, don't you? Sure, not the best plan I've ever had, but maybe I can get him to slip up. I can fight him. Not straight up. But keeping him both occupied and annoyed may just do something.

Granted, that something may end up being getting me killed...but hey, no going back now.
