Conspiring minds...

Watching the group in front of them chatter and quip at the return of the pink dressed floozy, the trio of Susans **** into the corner of the living room watched on with utter contempt. Watching as the demonic woman kowtowed to the cowardly harlot who ran off from her display of power, then embracing one another as if the entire ordeal was some misunderstanding was enough to make Malice grit her teeth. The abomination and animal woman were no better in her eyes, the two sharing a laugh together in some sickening display of comradery.

It took all of Malice’s self control to hold back her rage. She wanted to strangle the life out of ALL of them, tear them apart like ragdolls with her own powers and bath in their screams. Instead, she was **** to watch on impotently as a cheap family sitcom played out in front of her. “Sickening… How much of this must the Queen of Hatred endure?”

“I agree. If I still had the capacity to still do so, I would wretch at the sight of such fond tenderness.” Hissed the vampire woman behind her fanged teeth, her blood red eyes glaring at everyone present, carefully studying their gestures and movements. Finding anything she could use in the future to her advantage.

The metal clad and green robed woman next to them glared incensed at the family as well, her arms crossed and her eyes livid behind the expressionless mask she wore. “Peasants… I am held hostage by peasants.”

“No… By that THING that hovers in the lab.”

“Yes. I am loath to admit it, but her power is beyond measure. Beyond MY measure.” Sneered Malice, her attention diverted back down the hall where she and the others came from. Whoever that woman was, how she had possessed such great power, that was the true focal point of her rage. Because of her, she was **** to bide her time and be docile to these pale imitations of her being, but worst of all was the sight of the man who smiled and hugged and embraced his wife while the others watched on with fond admiration. The mere sight of this man made the woman’s blood boil.

“So, she kept him alive…”

“Who?” Asked Lady Doom, her head tilted to address Malice with curiosity and following the leather clad woman’s gaze to the man and woman at the heart of the group in front of them.

“Reed…” She hissed the name with such barely held back spite. “In MY reality I killed him… AND the others.”

“As did I.” Replied the vampire, watching intently as the couple spoke and addressed the others. “His blood tasted so sweet when I sank my teeth into him, as did Johnny and Ben’s. Now I am **** to watch on as they thrive and live about with their blood still in their veins. The audacity of it all”

“Had I access to my kingdom; this hovel would be a smoldering pile of ash and molten glass by now. These miscreants would pay for their transgressions against me and the house of Doom!”

“I like the way you think sister, but if you wish to cause suffering amongst this rabble, then we must deal with our TRUE jailor.”

“There must be a way to circumvent her will, is she aware of us in here? Even now?”

“Caution must be taken, if we are to win our freedom, we cannot do so alone.”

Turning to address the two, the steel-clad woman raised her chin imperiously, eyeing the two identical women to her and extended her gauntlet. “I propose a truce… for the time being, we have a common enemy, and until we can deal with that enemy, I am **** to admit that I cannot defeat her alone.”

“Or at all…” Eyeing the family still talking to one another and the two at either shoulder of her, Malice sneered once again and extended her gloved hand, as did the vampire who begrudgingly did the same. “We have a pact then, for the time being.”

“Indeed. Now it is only a matter of time and observation to plan our strike. Do try to keep up with it all, I’d rather not want to pick up the slack you two will most likely leave in the plan.”

Narrowing her eyes with a smug grin behind her mask, Lady Von Doom enjoyed the barely contained wrath from the two women. For now, they would do as pawns in her schemes. for now, she would use them for her goals. For now… She would be ‘civil’ with the civilians. Looking back to the group, she found their Susan Storm breaking away from her husband to approach the three of them, giving the trio a stern look as she rested her hands at her hips to make an announcement.

“Reed is going to try and get the dimensional portal up and running again, and unless you want to spend the rest of that time in a SHIELD holding facility, you’re all going to stay with us for the time being. And THAT means being on your best behaviour.”

Seeing the faces of two of the three villainesses react to her proclamation, she could see them bite their tongues in barely contained fury, but their anger was abated when the green robed one of them extended her arm out to calm her compatriots and step forward. With a flourish of her cape being swept behind her and her free hand to her metal mask with a curtsy, a hiss of air could be heard as the metallic plate detached. Standing back to her full height and pulling back the hood to her cloak, the Latverian Queen pulled and shook her long blonde hair loose and smile back with a haughty grin to the woman.

“I Queen Susan Von Doom accept your invitation to stay within your… Home. Please, tell us where we shall be staying.”
