::The Empress runs a gloved hand down the wood finish of the bar::
Oh yes, Eye remember. This is one of those places Eye conquered. Eye'm sure they will be so happy to have their Empress back.
Hm...this 'semi-destroyed, rainbow-barf' interior displeases me. Eye think we should have more appropriate decor, don't you?
::The I nods, and green energy arcs throughout the bar, transforming it into a copper and emerald-colored velvet lounge, glassy and futuristic while still tasteful.::

::The Empress lounges on a velvet-colored loveseat. Her clothing ripples and transforms into something more casual::
Hmm....the servants should have appeared by now to service my every whim and need. Eye wonder where they are? Thirty lashes for all of them for being tardy!

Hmm....Eye seem to recall a place around here with a beach...and several handsome slaves...I, could you be a dear and look around?
::The I flies up through the skylight to inspect the Nexus::
Eye mean, really. Nobody feeding me grapes yet? No cooling fan being waves to soothe my brow? No wonder Eye forgot about this place.

::The I returns, floating in through the roof and bobs in the air in front of the Empress::
What? No Cabana boys? Hm...it would seem that this was a terrible place to waste time conquering. Eye will have to see what Eye can do to rectify that.
::The Empress sits, deep in thought as she lounges, plotting...::

*Black Mask walks in. He eyes the Empress for a moment. Then he shakes his head.*
Great. Another Alpha female. So, what’s your story? Didn’t you try to take this place over already?

Aren't you the presumptuous one?
Eye am Sarya, Conqueror of Vengar, Leader of the Fatal Five, Scourge of the galaxy, enemy to the Legion of Superheroes and wielder of the Emerald Eye of Ekron.
Are you the grape-holder or the fan-waver?

When you got nothing, you can afford to give attitude. I mean, what are you gonna do? Kill me? Been there, done that.
Me? I'm Black Mask. Killer of Orpheus, enemy of Catwoman . . . the b***h . . . and Gotham gangleader.
I DID manage to frame Batputz for murder once, though.

::The Empress cracks a smile::
Eye like your attitude. Eye don't think Eye'll kill you.
::The I backs off from Black Mask::
Eye am familiar with "Gotham" and Eye seem to faintly recall meeting a "Catwoman" the last time Eye was here...Though Eye do not recall if it was good or bad.
::She leans on the lounge and smiles at the Black Mask::
Perhaps we should discuss what sort of intentions you have, my friend...

My intentions? I'm not really sure.. I'm thinkin' of going into the rackets. This place, by all accounts, is surprisingly free of mob activity. And me? I specialize in those tactics.
But . . . well, it's like Deadshot was sayin' last night. There are a lot of metas around here. Not like I can run protection on Lantern's, right? Hell, even this place is run by that card throwin' guy. Bullseye? No . . . the other one. Gambit.
So, I'm still deciding what would work best.

What you lack in firepower, my friend...Eye can make up for, in spades.
::The I zaps a green martini into Black Mask's hand::
Whatever scheme you decide to do, consider keeping me close by. Eye do recall now an annoying number of "heroes" in this place...especially Superboy...

Heh. You know. I like your style. And you ain't too hard on the eyes. I'll definitely keep you in mind when it comes time to fix this place.

Yes, it does seem rather in need of fixing, doesn't it? Before Eye came in, this place was a smashed, depraved little dive. Eye've made it much better just by being here.
Have you a place we can meet that is less...public then this?

Not yet, but I'm lookin'. I thought about II. But that's Luthor's place, and . . . I really don't wwant to throw my lot in with him. He's too big and flashy. I'mm more of a get-it-done kinda guy.
I DO like the sound of Wormwood's place though. It's smallish, out of the way. A nice little vice den of scum and villainy.

Wormwood's....that sounds familiar to me. Eye approve. Eye certainly hope you have as good of taste choosing other partners in this venture as you have shown by choosing the Emerald Empress, Black Mask.

I'm definitely lookin' at my options. I've thought about callibn' Joker on the matter. He's got experience handling metas. Then again, whenebver HE joins a mob, it ends up bein' HIS mob. And I don't feel like having a power struggle with a psycho.
That and he didn't seem so amused by me impersonating the Bat.
Deadshot's not exactly "inj" with us. But he's open to some freelancing if we need it.
I wish Cobblepot was here. If for nno other reason than the fact that he's always organized. Nice and easy to squeeze.
