Sorceress was pissed. Like, set fire to a building pissed. Yet another supervillain with hypnotising singing, and she was a girl that was dating Music Meister! Dear lord Meister better hope they were from a different world, because if they were from the future, he would be a lump of charcoal. And not to mention she was stuck in a nutzo world where they were all being watched like an episode of Total Drama, and Sorceress had no idea when (if ever) they were going to be let out.
And I have to get out. Sorceress thought, reaching into her pocket.
"Miss Sorceress?"
Sorceress quickly stuffed the photograph back into her pocket and turned her head to see M.M. walking beside her.
"Yes?" Sorceress asked, trying not to snap.
"I just have a few questions." M.M. replied, "Firstly, what are we looking for?"
"Anything, really. Something helpful that might be able to help us get out of here."
"Okay." M.M. nodded, "Then, second, what exactly are your powers and your, ahem, mental status?"
"I can make and control fire, telekinesis, flight and a power I ain't tellin' you about." Sorceress replied flatly, "And until a shrink at Arkham says otherwise, I'm sane."
Well that's…relieving. M.M. thought with a frown.
"Any other questions?"
"Just one." M.M. replied, "Are you always as, how do I say this, irritable as you are now?" Sorceress chuckled under her breath.
"Yes and no." She replied after a moment before looking upwards, "Isn't it funny that just when you have plans, some little midget decides to fuck them up?" M.M. didn't know what to say, and Sorceress flew upwards before he could reply anyway.
~O~
Bat-Mite watched all of the drama (with wicked glee) on his television.
"Hmmm…" He said before turning to the audience, "Should I cut them a break?" The whole thing zoomed out to show Bat-Mite and his apartment on a large projector screen with a large audience watching. The audience all gave mixed shouted responses, some even getting to their feet and throwing popcorn at the screen.
"Maybe just a little slack." Bat-Mite smiled as it zoomed back in again before snapping his fingers.
~O~
Music Mistress stopped walking and looked up at where Sorceress was flying in the air.
"Does she always do that?" She asked, and Music Meister stopped walking and looked up.
"Actually, no." He replied with a frown before turning to Music Mistress, "May I ask you a question?" Music Mistress raised an eyebrow before glancing at M.M. as if to ask if it was safe. M.M. wasn't dangerous, so why should this Music Meister be?
"Okay."
"Could you tell me a little about yourself?" Music Meister asked, "I'm confused about, well, everything." Music Mistress considered her answer before M.M. walked over to the two of them.
"I'm afraid Music Mistress and I wouldn't want to disclose any information that might endanger us." M.M. explained, putting a protective arm around Music Mistress's waist before gesturing to Music Meister, "I do apologise, my unbelievably talented and handsome friend." Music Meister smirked and was about to reply when the ground began to rumble and shake like an earthquake. Even Sorceress's felt it, wobbling like the sky was shaking.
"What the hell is going on?" Sorceress exclaimed. Music Meister, M.M. and Music Mistress all stumbled and tried not to fall before cracks appeared in the ground. The cracks glowed red as they split, red light spilling through and Music Meister let out a shout as he slipped off the edge.
"MEISTER!" Sorceress exclaimed, swooping down and grabbing Music Meister, bringing him back away from the edge. They landed on the ground, Music Meister first with Sorceress on top of him protectively, looking at Music Meister with worry.
"Thank you." Music Meister managed to get out and Sorceress gave a sigh of relief before they both heard shouting. Sorceress got off of Music Meister, allowing him to sit up and see Music Mistress clutching at the edge of the now very large and jagged hole in the ground, very close to falling to her doom. M.M. had a hold of her arm and was trying desperately to pull her up.
"ELIZABETH! HOLD ON!" M.M.'s voice was close to a scream, teeth gritted from the effort. Music Meister's eyes grew wide before he turned to Sorceress, who was watching nonchalantly but with a hint of something sinister.
"We have to help them."
"No we don't." Sorceress replied simply, stifling a smile as she now sat cross-legged casually. Music Meister's jaw almost dropped with shock and horror at Sorceress's heartless attitude.
"Sorceress…" He said with a warning tone before he heard another shout and turned to see the ground crumble beneath M.M.'s feet, both he and Music Mistress starting to fall.
"SORCERESS!"
"Fine."
Sorceress flew like an arrow up into the sky before heading down into the hole, both arms snapping out in front of her. M.M. and Music Mistress stopped falling sharply and Sorceress grunted from the weight.
Why the hell do they weigh anything? Sorceress thought, gritting her teeth. Usually nothing I move with my powers has any sort of weight. Sorceress flew upwards slowly like she was almost literally dragging M.M. and Music Mistress up with her arms, continuing to grunt and mutter swears under her breath. Music Meister helped M.M. and Music Mistress over the edge, the two landing heavily on the ground.
"Never…fall…again." Sorceress panted, collapsing in a heap.
"I thought objects were weightless when you used telekinesis?" Music Meister remarked, raising an eyebrow, and Sorceress lifted her head off the ground to look at him.
"So did I!" She exclaimed before lowering her head again, "There's two of them!"
