Baby Talk

Mommy Dearest stared at Kate for several seconds as she began to wonder if she had made a mistake. Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. An idea that was so wicked, so vile, and so diabolical that she wondered why she hadn't thought of it before.

“Yeah, this isn’t going to work out…” The hypnotist said as she shook her head. Sitting the little woman down, Mommy Dearest pulled out a pocket watch and hung it a few inches in front of Kate's face. To anyone who didn't know better, this didn't seem like anything serious. To Kate, however, this meant that she was in serious trouble! In less than a second, Kate was under the hypnotist's power.

"Every time you open your mouth to say something," Mommy Dearest said, swinging the watch back and forth, "all that will come out is incoherent baby talk. Only you will know what you are saying to other people. And if you try to communicate through writing, you will immediately draw nothing but squiggly lines. Nod your head if you understand."

When Kate nodded her head, Mommy Dearest chuckled darkly as she put the watch back into her pocket. "When I snap my fingers, you will awaken."

Mommy Dearest snapped her fingers, causing the little woman to awaken from her trance. As Kate rubbed her eyes, wondering just what her archenemy had done, the little woman let out a gasp as she saw the hypnotist mockingly waving goodbye as she swung her bag back and forth.

"See you later, Little Squirt!" Mommy Dearest shouted, turning around as she ran out of the alley.

"Get back here! We made a deal!" Kate shouted after the woman.

Mommy Dearest actually cackled loudly as she ran off. She wasn't sure what Kate had said, but all she heard was the little superheroine spout off nonsensical baby talk! She had finally done the one thing those snobbish super powered supervillains could only dream of: she had finally gotten rid of that menace Little Helper!

Kate merely stood there as she watched Mommy Dearest make off with her clothes, unsure of what to do next.
