Chapter Text
Morgan woke up, their head pounding and arms tied together. She looked around, slats of light shown through metal bars. 'oh shit,' they thought, 'this can not be good.'
"I think they are waking up boss." a voice from outside the bars spoke. Morgan craned her neck to see who it was but all that came was an increase to the pounding of their head.
"are you awake in there?" a different voice, presumably the boss.
"uh... Yeah?" Morgan answered weakly, "I am."
"okay good!" the boss clapped their hands together. "here's the deal. I captured you in the last battle with the Freedom Syndicate. Gross. Oh.. Um sorry."
"it's fine I guess" this was weird. Who was this person and what the fuck where they talking about.
"anyways, you are here because you are going to use your power to transport Metahuman to me. Got it?" they paused waiting for an answer.
"see that would be a great plan" Morgan started
"because I'll kill you if you don't." the boss interrupted.
"not what I was going to say, but uh thanks for that. Um I can't."
"why not?"
"Because I can only use my power once a month and I already used it."
"oh." the villain looked around "um. Okay... We'll just hold you you for ransom?" they looked over to their partner and shrugged.
The partner shrugged back and nodded.
"Yeah sounds good boss. I'll draft a demand and get the production team together for a video shoot." the partner said already texting a million words a minute. He turned and walked away into darkness.
"Since you are going to be here for a while, we should make a formal introduction. I'm Superior, that's my villain name not a declaration."
"right"
"but as an official guest now, you can call me Alex." Alex paused a moment. "and you are..."
"no" Morgan answered, "if you don't already know who I am, I'm not going to tell you. That would be stupid."
"fair enough" Alex gave a little laugh. "I'm starting to like you mystery hero. I'm going to call you.. Justice."
"absolutely not." Morgan responded. " don't call me that."
"oh have a little fun spoil sport! I'll see you for dinner in about.." Alex looked down at their wrist to a watch that wasn't there. "six hours? Yeah. See you then."
Alex vanished leaving Morgan alone with their thoughts.
"what the fuck." Morgan whispered to themselves. Wait... A ransom? Oh no. Oh no no no. The Freedom Syndicate would never ransom for them. Would they even notice she was gone?
Morgan groaned. This was going to be rough.
