[center][h1][color=ed145b]Maxima[/color][/h1] [sup]- Washington, DC - [/sup][/center] [hr] Maxima listened to Wonder Woman's briefing but her attention was directed to her silver-skinned crush. Compared to how Superman would always push her away, something about Captain Atom's frequent shyness around her with the way he would find excuses just to get away from her was just so adorable. In her mind, her forwardness and say-it-as-it-is attitude made Maxima think that she had an effect on the hero albeit gradually. It made her yearn for him more and she couldn't wait for the day that Captain Atom will finally give in to her. Alas, they would have to focus on the mission for now and defeat that overgrown zombie before he hurt more people. The Leaguers under the leadership of Wonder Woman dropped in at the area to intercept Solomon Grundy while the rest made sure the civilians were far from harm's way. She tried to use her telepathic powers to communicate with him but she got nothing. His mind was truly void of any rational thoughts. [color=ed145b]"I can't get a read on this buffoon."[/color] Maxima said through the coms in reply to Atom. [color=ed145b]"It seemed that the only plan of action we need is to beat him to a pulp before he reaches the masses. We can definitely do tha-"[/color] Before Maxima could finish her sentence, she saw how Grundy easily sent Union crashing into a meat truck and gasped as he backhanded Captain Atom like he was nothing. This enraged Maxima and she screamed in anger as she flew in to deliver a piece of her mind right at the zombie's jaw when intense pain hit the back of her mind. Thankfully, it didn't affect her that much due to her Almarecian physiology but a mental attack from a Martian was still painful. She fell down to the ground and groaned in pain. When she could focus, her eyes set on Giganta transforming into a White Martian. [i]'So the female muscle-headed gorilla was the spy all along.'[/i] Maxima thought to herself. As much as she wanted to attack Grundy for hurting her hunky captain, Maxima knew she had to help take down this white abomination of an alien first. She saw the Martian had taken hold of Wonder Woman and Union in two of her four hands as it seemed to be ready to attack the League as well. Her eyes glowed orange first and then the light fully encased her head in a fire-like halo. [color=ed145b]"You're not the only one here who could do things with their mind, b*tch!"[/color] Maxima screamed defiantly at the White Martian as she unleashed a bright orange beam of psionic energy from her head to attack her.
