Another Mission


The remaining supervillains gathered on the soft red leather corner sofa in the Villain’s Liar, the yet to open bar in the Elixir Spa Resort Hotel and Leisure Complex; The Dropped Apostrophe sat on one of the stand-alone throne chairs, whilst Bubblegum, Matthew Mist, The Lady, Rust, Jordan Gra(i)nger, and Tattooed Tina all shunted along so they could be opposite him.

‘Tina, this is a private meeting,’ The Apostrophe said, ‘but whilst you’re here could you bring us all, yes, tall glasses of lemonade, and then you can get back behind the bar.’

‘We aren’t open…’ Tina began to speak, but The Lady leant forward, held her right palm towards her, and said, ‘he means move away from us, dear, we have business to discuss’.

Tina grumbled and moved away, huffing as she did, and the sofa sitters shuffled about so they had a little more space between them; ‘firstly, where are Moonbeam, Ellova Palava and the other one…’ The Apostrophe asked, ‘The Upside Down Man?’

Bubblegum replied, ‘The Opposite Man has left the group, something about it not being his cup of tea, his right bank account, or some other excuse… Moonbeam is currently on your mission, and Ellova has returned home to her own country for a month or two…’

‘Home to that hostile country, …er, whatsits,’ The Apostrophe sounded shocked as he interrupted, ‘where there’s been a coup… she may need rescuing… forget this meeting and Lady, form a task force with Jordan and Rust and go and get her out.’
