It was a clear, cool summer night that would have set the perfect atmosphere for Senator Kelly’s presidential rally. However, since Kelly had made the mutant ‘problem’ a primary focus of his campaign, it was just a matter of time before a radical group of mutants would show up and shut him up. It just so happened that the group that happened to crash the party was none other than the Brotherhood of Mutant Supremacy.
“Don’t anyone try anything funny, mates?” Pyro shouted out to the crowd, “One wrong move and then BOOM, your toast!” Pyro then raised his arms up into the air and shot out two streams of flames into the air, showing what he meant by that they would be ‘toast’.
“Don’t sweat over it, Pyro. I already handled it.” Lorelei said as she walked past Pyro and towards the Parkman Bandstand, where their target, Senator Kelly, was standing. When Pyro peered again at the crowd, he noticed that all the men in the audience, who had come out to see Kelly speak, were now restraining everyone else in the park. Lorelei had a special gift that could allow her to persuade almost any man to follow her bidding. Even the officers and the security guards succumbed to her powers. It is quite useful power when half the human population, give or take a percentage or two, is male. However, Pyro wondered whether she has used her powers on him and the other guys in the Brotherhood just for laughs. “Well, at least she’s own our side.” Pyro thought.
“Shouldn’t we be watching the windows of the buildings across the street? If those crime shows have taught me anything, it is that they’re going to be placing marksmen up there to snipe us!” Toad complained while scanning the upper-levels of the buildings that he had just mentioned.
“That shouldn’t be a problem.” Avalanche pointed both of his hands in a fist towards the upper stories of those buildings, sending out vibrations that shattered the glass windows, which caused shards of glass to rain down onto the street below. “Problem fixed.”
“Has anyone seen Blob?” Pyro said as he scanned the crowd for his ‘super-sized’ ally. "I haven't seen him in a while. Where the heck could he have gone?" However, when he felt a slight quake, he knew that the Blob was close by.
“Tastes like chicken. Yum.” Pyro heard the Blob state aloud as he chewed on something.
“Blob, please don’t tell me you ate someone. That’s gross, even for you.” Pyro exclaimed in disgust.
“What? No! I was talking about these tiny nuggets that fast food chains pass off as chicken.”
“You didn’t ransack the Mickey D’s that’s a block or so away, did you?” Toad asked.
“Being evil
always makes me hungry! I just cannot help myself!”
Meanwhile, Lorelei was returning where the ‘boys’ were, followed closely behind by two hypnotized guards who were dragging Senator Kelly along with them.
“I’m a United States Senator and a potential candidate for the President of the United States. Killing me would only prove my point that you all are a danger to society and a threat to national security!”
“Who said anything about killing you?” Lorelei taunted Senator Kelly. “Why in the world would we try to transform you into a martyr against our cause?”
“Then what do you want?”
“I’m sorry.” Lorelei said as she patted him on the head, “Why would I tell you a thing like that?”
“I also do believe revealing your master plan to your enemies is against the rules stated in that Evil Overlord’s List that's on the internet!” Toad pipped in after Lorelei had finished speaking. Lorelei ruled her eyes when she heard Toad's additional comment, not believing that she is stuck with these imbeciles.
“I suggest that you let the senator go and surrender now before anyone else gets hurt.” A voice that none of the Brotherhood recognized said from behind them. When they turned around to see who it was, the Brotherhood saw a blonde woman floating in midair, wearing a red and black costume with a golden, eight-point star centered on her chest.
“Hey, who invited the chick with the huge tits and the fat ass?” Blob blurred out, not really thinking about the repercussions of his actions.
“Blob, I don’t think you should be using the adjectives
huge and
fat, especially together in one sentence, when talking about other people” Lorelei chided her over-sized ally. It took Blob a few seconds to understand what she had just said.
“Hey! Are you inferring something, Lorelei?” The Blob shouted in protest.
“Oh, no. You inferred it. I only insinuated it.”
“This is your last chance.” Ms. Marvel ordered the five mutants who were standing below her. The agitation in her voiced revealed that the Blob’s recent comment on her physique did not settle with her well. “Surrender now and no one will be going to the hospital tonight.”
“You and whose army are going to stop us?” Pyro shouted back at Ms. Marvel.
“Yeah! There’s eight of us and one of you!” The Blob rashly blurred out again.
“Five, Blob, five! There are five of us. Can’t you count?” Lorelei berated him. In response, the Blob just shrugged his shoulders and mouthed ‘my bad’ to the sole woman of these five mutant terrorists. Meanwhile, Pyro blasted two streams of fire at Ms. Marvel, which caused her to be engulfed by flames.
“That’s why you don’t mess with the Brotherhood, mate!” However, it seemed as if Pyro had celebrated too soon since, when the flames that had engulfed Ms. Marvel had finally dissipated, the red and black clad heroine was still floating there, unscathed. In addition, a yellow aura began to glow around her entire body, while a yellow light radiated out of her eyes.
“Does it look like I need an army?” Ms. Marvel yelled at the five mutants after their first attempt at taking her out had turned out to be a complete failure. While she clinched her fists, a glow that matched the yellow aura and the light shining form her eyes appeared around her hands. “So which one of you wants to be the first to be vanquished?”
