November 26th 2007 - Central City

BANE

As i approached the warehouse, i cracked my knuckles and continued to look around for signs of a trap.

A Week ago, someone called Mockinbird rang my cell and told me that if i wanted a job, to be here at this place and at this time.

Afterwards, i accessed my database, and i couln't find any reference of a Mockinbird, who was this guy.

Either way, i decided to give it the b-o-d, and come anyway.

I approached the warehouse door, and entered through into the main large storage space.

'Anyone home?'

No one answered, i decided to go sit behind a box and wait for whoever this mockinbrid was to show up.



OOC: This si the warehouse where we all meet. Calculator and MockinBird won't be there in person though.

November 26th 2007 - Undisclosed location

CALCULATOR

I sat and looked at the clock, 10 minutes until when i had to link my slef and MB to the main screen.

MockinBird had apparently approached me first, and before cutting off one of my legs had demanded i work with his team, and no one else.

Then he had threatened to cut off my other leg.

9 Minutes to Go.

Talia al Ghul

I was early, but only by about ten minutes.

I slid around the building keeping to the shadows my body moving gracefully.

Still I wondered who thid Mockinbird was, how did he locate me and what was this job he needed me to do.

Every hair on the back of my long neck stood up as I slid along the building hugging closely to the wall, not caring if I should be approaching in this manner, the theif in me always came out when I sensed danger and the air smelled of it tonight, every breeze bring it to my nose heightening my senses.

Looking around the corner I watch waiting to see if anything is amiss.

Parasite made his way down the street. His feet were light enough, barely touching the concrete. He made no real sound, nothing like boots in gravel. Perhaps, something more akin to slippers over wood flooring.

Not quite, not soundless. Anyone with a good set of ears or listening device could have heard him slouching slowly towards the warehouse. He made himself neither too loud, nor too quiet. He would not blend into the night, nor would he stand out among the crowd.

There were two double doors in the front. One purple hand came against each one, and opened them. The old warehouse showed it age, as the doors creaked and grumbled their disgreement with being forced open. They had spent a good three years now collecting dust and cobwebs, their days of being a door were over.

Now they stood open and gaping, a missing tooth in the mouth of a child. Parasite walked through this, highlighted from behind, his whole body casting a real life shadow on the ground.

It had taken little strength to do that. He still felt good, still powerful inside. He had drained someone earlier today, a cabbie. The guy looked just out of the military, but it wasn't true. He had never served a day in his life, just a gym nut. It didn't matter, those guys had power, strength. Parasite could lift a car with what he had inside of him right now.

He had a good three four hours of juice left.

It looked like a warehouse. Nothing too fancy or too new here. Some boxes that looked about as old as the doors he'd forced open, some rats running through the pools of light that shined from above.

He wished that guy had been a secret ops man. Those guys had wisdom, they knew how to stalk people, how to find out if someone was hiding, or if they were being followed. If he had that, he could probably know who else was in here. As it were though, all he knew was how to get max reps from his deltoids.

Not useful information.

"Hello?" This Mockingbird was supposed to be waiting for him. Parasite took another look, "Is anyone here?"

Nanaue wasn't thrilled with having to walk to the warehouse, it wasn't quite waterfront and that bothered him. This Mockingbird had sent him a message though, and he felt that it was the will of his father that he go.

But it's hard to blend in when your nearly 10 feet tall and weigh almost 400 pounds. Blue skin and teeth that are nearly four inches long don't help either. Still knowone got in your way when you were this big. The Warehouse's main entrance was open, and he walked right in.

Without a word he stood off to the side of the door. There were other people here, several of them, and he was getting hungry...

I watch from the shadows as others arrive, the feeling in my gut telling me to leave and do so now, not to stay and listen the mockinbird but curiousity got the better of me.

I walk into the light my hair shining in the pale light my hips swaying seductively as I walk through the doors of the warehouse.

At least if it was a trap I would not be the only one caught in it.

Mockingbird. She felt like she had heard the name before. But then, there were way too many wierdos out there, with wierd names. She grinned a bit though. She always had a little something for wierd men who went by a bird's name. And a warehouse. She didnt like these. Werent really too friendly to the plants. That didnt mean it made them any weaker for her to use. Just that they didnt like the dark warehouses.

She got their early, waiting in the shadows, by the corner. She had a natural camouflage here. She had summoned up a vine and stood behind the vine in her plant dress. She looked on eagerly as all of them piled in.

3 minutes to go. She decided she could now step out. She always liked making dramatic entrances. Not today though. The note sounded pretty serious. She will keep it low key today. She flicked her fingers a bit, and the vines circled around her, picked her up and grew all the way out. The vines extended into the middle of the room, keeping her high above the floor, and then swooped down to place her next to the others, in a flurry of small leaves. 'Nice and low key today." She thought to herself.

"Nice to see you all here today. are we waiting much longer yet?"

Bane

I grinned, as Ivy made her entrance, I had watched the others enter the room, recognising them all. After all, I was considered to be the Criminals Uber-Batman.

I stepped out from the shadows.


'Well, well, who do we have here...
...Poison Ivy, The Mother of all Plants...
...Parasite, The Living Vampire...
...King Shark, The scourge of the seas...
... Ms Talia Al Ghul, An exceptional Assassin...
...And Me, Bane, The Man who Broke the Bat.

Now all we need is the crazy Millionaire running for president, the insane pyschopath, and the deadly viscous alien.

I presume, you were all also invited here by Mocking Bird?'

Calculator

I grinned as i listened to Bane speak, and decided to make my presence known.

I turned on the warehouse lights, shuttered all the windows and doors, and turned on the microphone.

'You forgot me Bane, Calculator, the Criminals Oracle. Yes, Indeed you were all invited here by MockinBird, for a Job. Well, truth be told, several jobs. He will soon be there with you, to discuss this. Just hope and pray he doesn't try and persuade you like he did me.'

I showed the camera, and thus the villians, the stump of my leg.

'This man means business.'

Poison Ivy stood there, waiting for the mockingbird to join them. She didnt mind anyone there that much. Except for maybe Calculator. She had always found him spooky, with how he did wierd things. Now with a stump for a leg, he definitely didnt look any better. she didnt care mcuh though.

She just waited, hoping it wont be too long. In her mind though, she was already planning escape routes if Mockingbird had a trap setup, or if things got nasty.

I stand there taking it all in, the others who have been summoned, and this guy the Calculator.

Planning in my mind the lay out of the building thinking of the quickest escape routes, I pay no attetion to the others, they could find there own way.

A man willing to cut a leg off to get what he wanted was the type of man she dealt with daily in her life, her father had hired all sorts for his criminal empire.

*shrugs*

Nothing to do but wait.

"So where is this Mockinbird and who is he exactly?"

I am sure we all wanted the answer to my question.

Nanaue was getting bored, and with boredom, came hunger. As always. His father had given him many gifts, amazing strength, powerful claws and teeth that could not be broken. The Hunger that came with these gifts, well that was alittle less amazing.

He ached for food.

"When does this Bird man arrive?" He growled as others voiced similar questions.

How impressive. Just letting his fingers spread out he could feel such power in here. Someone had spent quite an effort to bring all of them in one place at one time.

He closed his eyes, feeling for anything more. No electricity ran through the building. Those old lights overhead were dead sockets, shining back at them in maddening silent stares. Light blared in through the street lamps though, cutting the world of the warehouse into stark light and inpenetrable shadows.

Some of the villians used this to their advantage. Most of them were only half seen, the others barely a silhouette against the wall.

Parasite took no care. He did not hide himself, nor show himself either. If they wanted to look, let them.

And if they wanted to touch...

A small smile scraped his purple lips.

"He'll be here," Parasite spoke up, for the first time. He had a deeper voice than usual, must be from his latest victim.

"These guys always have to make an entrance, don't they?" Case in point half of the people here, who thought one way or another to show themselves. Parasite had walked in, stopped, and was now waiting more or less patiently.

"He'll be fashionably late, and then tell us why he's brought such a powerhouse together. Maybe we get to join forces and take the bat down..."

Or the boy scout. Let it be the boyscout. Parasite would like that. Nothing satisfied him so much as that kryptonian power swimming through him. It had moved him to do so much, his fingers twitching from anticipation.

At the mention of Bruce my eyes widen, is that why i was here.

It had taken me so long to get over him after the power struggle for my heart between him and daddy, god in the end I had to just walk away, I couldn't stand it anymore.

I wonder if he ever thought of me anymore, if he still missed me.

Turning I watch the door, waiting for our host to show, my nerves on edge now, every hair on my neck was standing up, what did he want.

The boss.

Suddenly a voice could be heard, though no one could be seen.

'I apologise for not been there in person with you all, but let me introduce myself. I am MockinBird, and i have chosen you six to be members of a criminal team i am organising named the secret six. The main goals for the team are to hurt the heroes and weaken them, going as far as to create a metahuman civil war, with us 6 safely out of the way, until afterwards, in which we will rule the world.'

the voice paused.

'So i ask Calculator, Poison Ivy, King Shark, Parasite, Talia al ghul, to join the team, and i ask you Bane, to lead this team. I warn you now, that it will not be easy, and the difficulty of each mission shall increase each time. So, are you all in?'

Bringing the heroes down. Creating a war. Now that sounded fun. Of course she was in. "I am in. But I want to know more about the person I will work for. Who are you? And why do you want to do what you are trying to do here? And which heroes do you have in mind?"

Mb

The voice cackled.

'I am not relevant, all you need to know about me at the moment is that i pay your wages. I am doing this because i am fed up of constantly being beaten by the goodie two shoes who fill this universe, and as for which heroes i have in mind, i have all of them in mind. Now for the rest of you, are you in? or shall Calculator and Poison Ivy go at it alone?'

Bane

Bane thought the offer over in his head.

'You got your leader, Bird man, now are you at least gonna tell us who our first target is?'

He bristled as he heard the reply.

'Why, my dear Bane, welcome to the Six, and i will tell you once the other 3 join. and, did i mention each of you will get a special present first before we begin.'

Poison Ivy thought this over in her head. special present. She thought back to Calculator with a stump for a leg, and she wasnt sure if she really wanted it. She would just have to be extra careful.

Mb

'And just so you know, it wont be a present like the one Calculator got. That was what he recieved for turning me down, once he'd agreed, i gave him some new state of the art technology, mixed with alien tech, thus making him better than oracle.'

Bent on world domination. Parasite could do without that. Too many of these evil geniuses thought they could pluck the world up and put it in their pocket. Parasite never had such ambitious goals.

He only sought power, pure and simple.

Still, this team could provide him that. The chance to get at some very strong figures, even Superman. Batman as well. If he could touch just one of them, things would be a lot different.

If nothing else he could turn on the team later, take all of their power and then go off on his own. Maybe even wait for this Mockingbird to emerge. Someone who always hid in the shadows, wouldn't even be in the same room.

It must be because of him, Mock didn't think Parasite would spoil the chance at having some fun.

Parasite cracked his knuckles, "Yeah, I'm in."

Mb

You could tell just from the tone of voice, that he was smiling.

'Good, just dont get any ideas of betraying us. Talia? Mr Shark? what about you two are you in?'

Nanaue smiled his teeth clearly visible. This sounded like a chance to deal with that fool Aquaman! The Atlantian had bothered him far too much for him too pass up this oppurtunity, and besides, Father would approve.

"I'm In Bird man so long as we can deal with Aquaman..."

Mb

'Good good, King Shark. And yes, we will also be dealing with aquaman in the near future. Now we simply wait for ms Talia's answer.'

I stand there and wonder what i was about to get into, but then again running the empire had never been my goal but I was good at it.

The more pressing issues was whether or not I could trust the team once i joined. not to worry though with my personal army of criminals I would have not problems dealling with anyone of them.

"I'm in as soon as you tell me what the first job is."

(OOC sorry to hold everyone up)

Mb

'good, now if you go the boxes at the end of the room, you will find a box each with your name on it. please feel free to look inside, then we shall begin.'
