The first thing she saw as she climbed out of the pit was his shoes. They were black, and probably were supposed to be leather, or would be if they were real. Her eyes drifted upwards to his grey suit, and then to the clipboard in his hands. Until now, she hadn't noticed it was red.

"You successfully dispatched all of your targets. Although your consistency was almost nonexistent, the fighting style completely ludicrous, and you have almost no concept of realism or anything remotely logical, I must admit, the stylistic and visceral choreography was breathtaking. You've got style kid, and that's the most important part of being a Sue. Congratulations, you've made it to Mary status Miss…what is it this time?"

"Dael. It's Lioslaith Dael."

"Of course it is. I'll just let you write the certificate then." He looked down into the abyss of forgotten Sues. "Shame these were never updated, they had promise. Oh well, better to take them off hiatus then to add dead weight, right?" He smiled cheerfully, and whistled as he flipped through his magnificent manilla envelope once more. Once he found the sheet he was looking for, he handed it to her.

"You've come a long way, not many make it through a complete multi-chapter story, let alone one over 20 chapters. Now, here's your first assaignment. If it seems harsh that we are making you go against Number 1, then you'd better leave. She's one of the last remaining vestiges of the old ways. Dark, but yet still bubbly and gloriously insane. And she's passed the threshold that every female OC dreams of, becoming part of the cannon. But, she doesn't fit in our world, and her prescence only hinders the Sue's future plans for future conquest. Defeat her, and you become the Ultimate Sue."

"I thought that honor went to Bella Swan."

He glowered. "Granted, you could learn a thing or two about your craft from her, but remember, you are never allowed to disrespect the Published. You will never be in their status." With that, he walked back into the shadows. A fitting way to end a last meeting.

Knowing that she could not do anything until she opened the file, she carelessly flipped it open. As soon as she read her target, she screamed.

No. She couldn't face HER. She would devour her whole, utterly destroy her. To Sues, she was their worst nightmare. Tentatively, she picked the sheet up from the floor to make sure she read it correctly.

Sure enough, with her blue eyes blazing, and possibly a large mallet hidden behind her hands, giving off a sly smile, there she was. Harley Quinn.
