A Musical Sequel
My Lullaby
Queen Bee strolled into the room, a few of her servants behind her carrying the unconscious Psimon.
Her empire had been ruined. After the fiasco with the team of sidekicks, she had lost the throne. No amount of her power could stop it. Now, she wanted revenge. And with Psimon, she would have it.
Psimon woke up on a bed in the middle of a large room. Queen Bee sat in a chair next to him. He quickly sat up and turned to her.
"Did you have a nice nap?" she asked.
"What's going on?"
"You were in a coma after your defeat by the Martian. You recently recovered and I broke you out of prison. You were hit by a dart with sedative on it on the way out, which is why you were unconscious just now."
"What do you want with me?"
"I want you to help me take care of something. Something that took away everything I had."
She pushed Psimon back to a lying position. He was exhausted, but that was really strange because he had been asleep for so long.
"Hush, dear Psimon; you must be exhausted.Sleep, dear Psimon
Let your dreams take wing
One day when you're mentally strong
You will take out the League"
She turned as if to leave, then started talking to herself."I've been exiled, persecuted
Left alone with no defense
When I think of what those children did
I get a little tenseBut I dream a dream so pretty
That I don't feel so depressed
'Cause it soothes my inner queen
And it helps me get some restThe sound of Superboy's dying gasp
Miss Martian squealing in my grasp
Nightwing's mournful cry
That's my lullaby."
She turned back to Psimon and talked to him again."Now the past I've tried forgetting
And my foes I could forgive
Trouble is I knows it's petty
But I hate to let them live."
Psimon tried to understand just what she was getting at.
"So you found yourself somebody who could set your kingdom free."
She smiled grimly.
"Oh, the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me.The melody of angry shouts
All the heroes running about
A symphony of death, oh my!
That's my lullaby."
The queen grew melancholy, like she truly felt sad about what had happened. Then, in an instant, it was gone. She started talking to herself."My throne is gone... but I'm still around
To take care of this man
Till he helps me take them out
Then the world will be all mine!"
She turned back to Psimon, but she was distracted, like she wasn't quite there anymore."Sleep, ya little freak!
Uh- I mean, helpful partner!
One day when you're mentally strong
You will take out the League!The pounding of the drums of war
The thrill of an armies mighty roarThe joy of vengeance
Testify!"
She came close to him.
"I can hear the cheering
Psimon! What a guy!Payback time is nearing
And then our flag will fly
Against a blood-red sky
That's my lullaby!"
She left, and Psimon knew that this was the craziest thing he had done, but it would be fun taking out that little Martian who left him in a coma for years.
