I look at the town I'm now in. Gotham… the only reason I've come here is too help out a friend. Even though I'm a superhero I would never come to a town with so much criminal activity on my own will. Why people even call me a superhero is beyond me. I don't have powers, I'm just really good a hand to hand combat and have a couple cool gadgets. The closest I have to a power is good agility, limberness and speed. But I've gained those over the years. My friend is also a 'superhero' but has no powers. He's Batman, the Dark Knight, protector of Gotham or whatever you wanna call him; I personally call him Bats like most of his cohorts and enemies.
Well, onto why I'm actually here. Batman called in a favor I owe him. Apparently one of Gotham's more dangerous villains escaped Akrham. I swear, there's not really a point of Arkham at this point! Villains are always escaping from it, if anything they use it as a little place to take a break from their villainy. It's probably a vacation spot for them at this point!
I'm not exactly sure who this particular villain is; the name had something about music in it. I wasn't paying the best attention when Batman had told me about the villain; it's not my fault though. I was sort of trying to stop a villain in my own city. Yea, there are villains in my city, but nowhere near as many as in Gotham.
I spot Batman waiting for me on the rooftop of a building. I quickly jump into the air and do some fancy maneuvers on the walls of various building. I admit, some of the moves were unneeded and meant to showoff; but it's only because it's been forever since I've seen Bats and I've progressed a lot in my ability. I'm up to the roof within five minutes at most. "Bats," I smirk my greeting.
"Angela," Batman greet back. "Good to see you again."
"Same to you," I say. "So what's this about you needing my help?"
"The Music Meister has broken out of Arkham."
"Who?"
I look at Batman with a confused beyond belief expression. Just because I'm a hero doesn't mean I know about every villain in every city. Heck, I barely know all the names of the villains in my own city! I have a horrible memory when it comes to names. "The Music Meister."
"And he is?"
"He can sing in a pitch so high that he can control whoever hears him."
"Ah… so why do you need my help? You've put him in Arkham before haven't you?"
"Only with the help of Black Canary, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. They're all away in other towns on missions."
"Oh… okay then. So where's this Music Meister guy and what's he look like?"
"The Music Meister,
Sings the song that the world wants to hear!
A new hero won't stop the melody,
It will flow to every ear!
And with its power,
The world will soon belong to me!"
"Where's that Music coming from?" I ask, though I find myself singing the last word.
"Quickly, put these in so he can't control you!" Batman says, holding out some earplugs.
"Why am I singing?!
This is too weird!" I sing in a voice much higher than that of I talk in.
"Singing my dear,
It's the only to express yourself!
Just follow my lead,
And sing out to the world!
All your pains and fears,
They'll soon be heard!"
I look around frantically, my will suddenly beginning to blur. A man in a very dark purple, almost navy blue, zoot suit with green music notes as the buttons, what look to be tap shoes, some music note cuff links, a feathered hat, bright red hair, a very prominent gap between his two front teeth and a pair of white glasses that look like sheet music (musical notes and all) leaps right in front of me. He wore a smirk on his face as he grabs my hand and spins me around and away from Batman. "Enough of these silly games,
Come with me and realize where your true strength lies!
Fighting villainy,
Why do that when you could help in ruling it?"
His singing is so nice… hypnotic even. I blink as he stops spinning me, I'm facing Batman. For some reason I feel the need to fight Batman, like he's the enemy. "The Music Meister!
He's right,
How could it have taken me so long to realize what was right in front of me?
You're the real foe,
Everything told to me before was a pile of lies!" I sing, my voice sounding strange and foreign.
"Don't do this Angela," Batman says, blocking my jump kick.
All of my fighting feels strangely choreographed for some reason, as if I'm dancing. I manage to swipe kick Batman, making him fall. "Yes, yes!" the Music Meister laughs before grabbing my hand again. "Now come,
Come and join me!
Singing a duet with me,
Your beautiful soprano with my gorges tenor!
Our duet shall be perfect,
You and I will rule the world with our voices!"
I immediately nod my head yes, not taking one second to think about it. The way he's singing it makes it sound like the only right, or possible, option I have in the world. "Of course,
Our duet will be the best to ever be heard!
No one else will stand in our way,
Together we'll rule!" I sing, though somewhere in the back of my head I know this isn't right. It seems wrong. All of it seems very wrong.
(Please realize that I've only just started watching the show but I loved the episode so much that I just had to write a follow up story to it. Hopefully this isn't too horrifically and hopefully the continuity isn't horrible with the show. I just Black Canary, Aquaman, and Green Arrow being in the episode so I figure they're in Gotham every so often. Angela is my own OC)
