Thread: The Evolution of the Scarlet Flash {Methos & Fate}

It might have struck some that if one received a tip as to where a villains lair lay two possibilities emerged. The first being that someone in the know was careless or disloyal, the second being that it was quite clearly a trap. One rather incompetent guard at the entrance would no doubt have been a red flag for some, suggesting that things seemed too easy and that perhaps they should seek backup or assistance. Yet that was evidently not the case as the Crimson Flash dashed into the villain known as Evolutions lair. Naturally the man himself was quite aware of her presence. Although a flicker of irritation was noticeable upon his features as his trap had lured what seemed very much a second rate hero into it. The press of a button caused two steel doors to slam shut behind the Scarlet Flash, blocking the path of retreat for the young heroine. The room she stumbled into was relatively empty. The floor was solid rock as were the walls being chiselled into the hidden reaches of a mountain. Yet the far wall had a rather large mural upon it. The golden form of a phoenix was seen clutching the earth in its talons, with the words a greater earth, a greater humanity written in bold letters above it. An otherwise unnoticeable section of the wall opened up and through it a tall blonde haired man soon appeared. Blue eyes rested upon the red haired woman whom had blundered into his lair. A faintly amused smile graced his lips as he remarked Perhaps I shall have to do something drastic then, if rather than receiving the heros of the Justice Council, I receive the attention of their sidekicks. A tall man he stood some six feet and four inches tall. His frame was broad and the shoulders and noticeably muscular in its build. He was clad in black and red garb. A black cape hung from his shoulders and the golden design upon the wall with its slogan appeared upon the reddish coloured armour that graced his chest and arms. His lower body was armoured as well, although the colour shifted to a black akin to that of his cloak. A pity, Id rather hoped more of you would come. It would have been far more useful for my research. Although he seemed thoughtful for a moment as he remarked No matter, Im sure that with you as bait I shall have little trouble luring your friends to me. He smiled to her pleasantly enough as he idly noted You may surrender yourself now, or shall we go through the exercise where you attempt to defeat me. Soon find that you had no idea as to the magnitude of what you are confronting, lose and afterwards spend a great deal of time reproaching yourself for your carelessness? If nothing else he seemed rather supremely confident in how things were to transpire. Really its easier for you at this point simply to submit. Im sure your abilities will be of some use to my program. Perhaps youll even be allowed to aid us as we seek to improve the human race. He smiled to her as he noted If only you heros saw that its our weakness in the face of the alien races that we needed to confront. Instead you worry yourself over petty thefts and murders when the future of the species lies in the balance. Soon caught up at looking at the trees, you fail to see the forest. And evidently a villain with some sort of messiah complex.
