“The Secret Origin of the Silver Aegis: From Deep within the Plot Hole” Twenty four hours ago: “Curse him!” Madame HERPES threw her martini glass at the monitor showing the Silver Aegis caroming his shield off of several of her minions, “Curse that red, white, and blue busybody! That was our fourth cell he has shut down within Parodiopolis! Soon our presence in that city will be negligible! He must be stopped!” “But how, mistress?” the uniformed agent who attended the virago had the temerity to inquire; “The Silver Aegis strikes without warning, and fights like a man possessed!” SLAP! “Fool! It is obvious HERPES must track the hero down and eliminate him before he can prepare for us! But how do we find him?” “I believe I can help you with that, woman!” “What’s this? Appearing on the screen, of a man wrapped in red robes! Who-?” “I am the Red Saracen, and though I am loathe to bargain with one such as yourself, it is obvious we share a common enemy, the accursed Silver Aegis!” Madame HERPES flinched at the insult, but held back any retort. There was something in the man’s eyes that gave her caution, “Yes, I have heard of you, Saracen. You seek to destroy the powers of the Occidental world and create a global caliphate with you at its head. Very ambitious!” “Do not attempt to use your wiles on me, you decadent Jezebel! I have only interrupted your communications to propose a bargain. I can offer you information to aid you in the location of the Silver Aegis, in exchange for some information of HERPES’s own.” “Which would be what, you deranged dervish?” “All of your files on the Celestial Tchotchke.” “Hahahaha!” the terrorist leader threw back her head and laughed, “The Tchotchke is a myth, a legend. You would be better off searching for Aladdin’s magic lamp!” “Then it will cost you nothing to pass on that knowledge to me,” Red Saracen noted smarmily, “Transfer the data, and I will tell you how to find the Aegis.” Once the exchange was completed and the villain cut communication, Madame HERPES stroked her neck contemplatively, “The Saracen is definitely one that bears watching, it would seem. Our paths are sure to cross again.” “Do you think he is right, mistress? Do you think this Josie Hart will be able to learn the secrets of the Silver Aegis?” her attendant asked. “If anyone could, it’s that awful reporter. But the real question is how do we learn what she does without attracting suspicion? Ah! I have it,” sweeping her arm dramatically, she points to the door, “Bring me Agent Anonymous!” |
