#225: Untold Interactive Tales of the Lair Legion: Dangerous Paths


Behind the waterfall, a white girl of seventeen or eighteen sat cross-legged on a black rock, brushing her hair and singing. Her long red-gold tresses were all that covered her. She sang as she worked on her tangles.

“Okay, so far I’m liking this supervillain,” Trickshot approved.

She noticed the newcomers and turned to look at them. “Oh, hello!” she called delightedly. “More friends! Come on in, you poor people!”

“In where?” Hatman demanded. “What is this place? Why are all these people here.”

“Aren’t you Mister Questiony?” the girl pouted. “It’s rude not to say hello.”

“Hello!” beamed Yo. “Is to be nice to be meeting you. What is to be happening?”

The girl at the waterfall couldn’t help but smile at the thought being. Yo in turn broke into a massive happy grin as s/he felt thought bunnies nudging at his/her ankles.

“This is my garden,” the girl declared. “Nobody bad is allowed in here.”

“You bring folks through those rainbow portals, right?” Trickshot checked.

“I invite them, yes. They’re all unhappy out there because something horrid has happened, so we decided to bring them here where they can be safe and happy.”

“This isn’t another pure thought being, is it?” Uhuna wondered, glancing at Yo making friends with the new bunnies.

“Oh no,” Yo replied. “We are knowing who this is to be being from the Technopolis files. She is being the most powerfulest psionic on your planeting, with the ability to be changing reality with her thinkings.”

“Mad Wendy,” breathed Hatman. “She drags people into her own mind and makes worlds for them there.”

“Hello,” said Mad Wendy again.

“Okay,” CSFB! said. “So Wendy’s made a kind of refuge to… to help some of the people who were in trouble.”

“Only the nice ones,” Wendy insisted.

“The nice ones, yes. But why did you cause whatever happened to Wakandybar to happen?”

Mad Wendy shook her head. “That wasn’t me. I’m just helping out afterwards.”

“Not you,” Hatman frowned. “Than all of this is just a distraction.”

“I don’t think I like you,” Mad Wendy scowled at the caped crusader. “And you hurt my friend Whitney. I can see it in your mind. You are a bad man.”

“Uh oh,” Trickshot breathed.
