Chapter 1
This meeting was quite unique. After all, which person dares to invite all the Flash villains at one place in Central City? The club was cleared of all unwanted guests and one person appeared in front of the crowd. This place was like a small movie theater with lots of lighting, no screens, and one exit. Chattering arose between the villains as they discussed the invitation. This man was in a costume similar to the Flash, except that the colors are reversed.
"Welcome, villains. I have a wish to start an organization with the sole purpose of permanently defeating the Flash. Each one of us has tried individually but has always failed. Even a fusion between two of the world's greatest villains, Lex Luthor and Braniac, couldn't take down our Flash. We've defeated him temporarily but he always comes back to send us to jail again. Now, we have an entire legion of superheroes backing up the Flash. Our top-notch criminals have been reduced to petty thefts. Today, I propose to form an organization to bring the Flash down permanently by any means necessary. My name is Professor Zoom. You may call me Reverse-Flash.
Now, I already have a few respected colleagues of yours endorsing my plan. I would like my enlightened acquaintances to come up to show you our growing support for this organization. These fine men will be known as the Rogues. They will be our top agents and are our alpha squad. These following villains are the Rogues: Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Weather Wizard, Heatwave, and Mirror Master.
Whoever would like to join can enlist with the Calculator, who has agreed to help us in exchange for a few favors. Think long and hard because we will appreciate all the help we can get. We will divide villains by different squads according to their use and their talent. We have plenty of refreshments and would be pleased to answer any questions. Thank you for your support."
As most villains climbed up to grab refreshments, Grodd thought to himself that he liked the idea of a criminal organization. Perhaps he should attempt to create one as well. Several villains talked to Calculator so that they could enlist while others had made way out the door. Grodd chose to stay to hear their numbers first. If it were any other villain, the meeting would not have been able to be considered. It was simply that the Reverse-Flash was the archnemesis of the Flash and was well-respected and revered in the villain community.
After ten minutes or so, Professor Zoom smiled and said loudly, "Now, now. We can't have too much fun when the party hasn't even started. The Calculator has a list of our current roster. If you would be so kind as to listen to him, you may find our roster quite large."
Calculator was a tan-skinned man wearing dark glasses, a black suit, black tie, and black slacks. He gave a creepy smile with his hands on his laptop. "Our current members are Professor Zoom, Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Weather Wizard, Heatwave, Mirror Master, Abra Kadabra, Pied Piper, the Top, the Fiddler, the Trickster, the Shade, the Thinker, Doctor Alchemy, Mr. Element, Golden Glider, Rainbow Raider, Razer, Turtle, and the Eel. That accounts for twenty Flash villains. All late additions are welcome. To all villains who have not either joined or left, you are given five minutes to decide."
Many of the villains who had not joined started to leave the club at this point and the rest were very conflicted. Who doesn't want to make a mark in history by themselves? But who can resist a chance to take down the Flash? Most of these villains were looking at Grodd to see what he would do. Grodd knew a good business opportunity when he saw on so he decided to enlist. Then the majority of the villains left decided to join the organization. Those who didn't left the building.
Calculator gave another creepy smile after the decisions of every villain in the building had been finalized. "I am pleased to announce that we have had several unexpected additions. These additions are Gorilla Grodd, T.O. Morrow, Eradicator, Cobalt Blue, and the Griffin. This gives the organization five more members which we are glad to have."
Professor Zoom said "Let us celebrate and rejoice for this event." So the party began.
