The party was already in full swing and more people were arriving by the minute. Hunter stood atop a catwalk looking down at all the villains mingling below and smirked. Beside him was Kaylee-Ann, his new pet/bodyguard. Her reprogramming was far trickier than he had hoped it would be but had prepared enough drugs to keep her pleasantly sedated for the party. His men were roaming the building well armed while others were in disguised as random thugs.
"Things seem to be going well"
Booze was flowing, deals were being made and he even had rooms in the back for 'special' entertainment or rooms where 'meetings' could be held. And of course he had the rooms well bugged with an EMP shield. You couldn't trust anyone and that was just the way things had to be.
"Come little one."
He said before tugging Kaylee down a flight of stairs with him so he could mingle with everyone else.

Selena had a glass in her hand filled with ice cubes and Scotch. Usually she didn't drink but Selena felt that tonight, she would need it. She was in a plain, black cocktail dress with no jewelry and no make up. She hadn't felt completely up for leaving her crappy apartment. She had much rather be in her sweats and tank top working on what she had hidden in her purse instead of here at this Christmas party. She loved how it was a "Villain" Christmas Party, hosted by Hunter, but she was told to not come as her Villain self. It irked her. Just how was she supposed to be herself if she couldn't BE herself? She had never had any problems before, of course, the last time Pandora went to a get together, she had her father with her and he kept her protected from everything.
A light sigh escaped Selena's lips as her eyes went up to the Catwalk where Hunter stood with his new...pet. We've been replaced, Pandora taunted Selena, making her sigh and shake her head. Maybe so, but that's something we're just going to have to deal with, was Selena's response. Pandora doesn't get replaced, Lena... Selena shook her head and looked away from the catwalk, making the voice of her other half stop as she walked over to her stuff and sat down at a table. She pulled a small fabric doll out of her purse and a needle and set to work with finishing it. She hoped he would like it when she finished with it. She was very proud of it so far and hadn't screwed anything up too badly. Selena was pretty good at making things with needles and thread seeing as she did make her own clothes. |

How he'd been tracked down to get an invite Sha'do didn't know. But he was smart enough to understand the concept of 'networking'. He was new to this time and these were the people who ran the show. He'd need to get some ideas and perhaps some new partners if he was to really make anything of his run here. He had time on his side, a whole lot of time. It kind of came with being immortal and imprisoned in a gauntlet like he was.
He walked around the warehouse, sticking to the shadows. He watched as the other villains drank, smoked and used various drugs to bring upon a state of inebriation. That was definitely not for him. He had trained his body to be a perfect weapon and polluting it made little to no sense. As he walked he noticed a woman in a black dress sit down at a table and begin sewing.
"My, don't you seem out of place."

Kaylee had some used to the little shots given to her to “help” her. She’d guessed by now they were sedatives but she supposed it was necessary since her powers were so unpredictable. And whatever Hunter said Kaylee trusted. It was unwise but she was young and foolish. Dressed to the nines in a purple dress picked out for her. She floated in a way after her boss, not minding at all that he called her pet or seemed it fit to drag her around like a child. The combination of his flattery and the drugs kept her happy enough. The party thrived on evil doings, it smelled of alcohol and drugs, but it was a Christmas party and the only adult one Kaylee had ever been a part of and she felt quite grown up even though she looked foolish. In the crowd Hunter turned to talk to someone and Kaylee-Anne looked around to see a tall thug in a pin stripe suit approach her. He had a hungry expression and he looked her up and down like she were a piece of meat. “Hey little lady. What are you doing later tonight?” He asked, standing over her. Kaylee-Annes mind spin with responses but nothing came out of her mouth. She could only stare back… |

Selena sighed gently and looked up and around at the party. There was nothing Christmas related about this party except for the decorations that she had put up a few days prior. Hunter had allowed her to decorate the little warehouse since she had desired to do so. He really didn't care, though he had commented that it would add a nice Christmas flare for the party. So, Selena happily went out and actually bought decorations before she grabbed a ladder, a hammer, some nails, her decorations, and was on her way. Selena usually didn't steal or do criminal related acts during the month of December. She loved Christmas time and as such she gave money away to charities and whatnot instead of stealing money. Of course, they were marked bills, but she was sure that the uncorrupted police officers wouldn't take money from the charities that Selena had given the money to.
Selena averted her eyes from the business deals being made and looked back down at the small black, fabric-made doll in her hands. She had started to make it as a Christmas gift for someone who had recently helped her. She saw a shadow loom over her and sighed when he spoke. She hated that Hunter didn't allow her to be Pandora, but he figured after her stunt at the Auction, she would have a price on her head. Selena looked up at who spoke to her and blinked. She then reached across the table and grabbed her Scotch before taking a sip. She looked over at the man once again. "I wouldn't be so sure, sir. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover," she said before she went back to sewing at her doll. She didn't feel the need to introduce herself seeing as he didn't. |

As Hunter stopped to talk to someone he didn't notice the man hitting on Kaylee. Of course, everyone here was evil so it could prove really complex to keep Kaylee safe. She was sweet and that made her a huge target. Not to mention the dress he'd picked out for her. He turned when he saw the large man standing over her.
"I'll trust you to leave her alone 8-Ball."
The man glanced over at Hunter and Hunter quickly stepped in between the man and Kaylee.
"Now go walk away before I lose my temper at this happy time of the year."
He said, his eyes flashing black. He then turned to Kaylee.
"Kaylee dear, go join Selena she looks lonely."
He said with a smile before patting her on the head.
"And if you have any problems you know what to do."
He said with a wink. He'd allowed her some freedom including wielding a taser which he felt was necessary at the party. It was well hidden and would look as though she'd used her powers if she used it.

He laughed a bit and nodded his head at her comment.
"No I suppose I shouldn't."
He said before moving to the table only to stop at the very edge of a shadow, getting as close to the table as he comfortably can.
"I am known as Prince Sha'do."
He said with a nod of his head. He knew most didn't know about his very existence although it was possible he could use that to his advantage. Not knowing him meant cops would be less likely to actually come after him and that meant he could get away with more.
"And I suppose if you were invited by Blackfire or whatever his name is then you must've earned it. Then again half the people here are nothing more than petty crooks. I had hoped Pandora and Harrower would show."

Selena listened to his words, uninterested as she sewed until he spoke of her alter ego(and other personality). She looked up at him, eyebrows raised for a moment. "You wish to speak with Pandora? What for, Prince Sha'do?" She asked before hearing her other self ask about Harrower. Selena quickly shoved Pandora back into her box to silence her. She didn't need two conversations going on at once. She wasn't in the mood to deal with Pandora anyway, especially since Pandora was furious that her image had been used in the saving of the Batman at the Auction, not that Pandora had much of a say in what Selena did seeing as she was the dominant personality in the relationship.
When Selena heard Hunter speak to 8-Ball, she looked over at him. A scowl formed on her face when she heard him tell Kaylee-Anne to go sit with her since she looked lonely. Selena rolled her eyes heavily. "I have earned nothing. I'm his assistant, secretary, and now a babysitter," she spat angrily, a small bit of Pandora coming out of her. Not that she minded. Both personalities loathed Kaylee-Anne and Pandora loathed her more for taking Hunter's attention away from her. Hunter hadn't spoken to Selena since before the party even started. Pandora was furious. She and Selena had worked hard to get her to look this beautiful and apparently, it was for not. Of course, it wouldn't matter for too much longer, the two supposed. Selena and Pandora would soon grow accustom to it, as they usually did. After all, they always had other women put in front of them. They were never really seen as good enough. |

"Okay Hunter." Kaylee said softly, her eyes looking up at him much like the way a dog looks at their master. She had no idea how pathetic she looked, and was all too happy to do as he pleased, partly because she wanted to and partly because of the drugs.
She made her way to Selena, not hearing her comment about baby sitting. She didn't care much for Selena either, there was something about her that made he seem like she thought she was entitled to the world. She reminded Kaylee of the girls who picked on her back at school.
Walking up to her, her hands interlocked infront of her she tried to be nice. "Happy Holidays Selena." Her eyes turned to the man she'd been talking to. "Hello."

"Well let's just say I have a business proposition for the both of them."
No doubt that wasn't too rare at this party. If anyone there was smart they'd all be talking about business and trying to form alliances of some sort. It was said anyone who was anyone was there. However there were two in particular who weren't there. Maybe Hunter's party wasn't all that amazing after all. He'd have to rethink any further invites from him in the future.
"Hi."
Was all he said to the smaller woman who he'd only seen on Hunter's arm. Or at the very least by his side. He wondered exactly what her role was in his life. Apparently not too incredible if he sent her away.
"Can you get me in touch with her?"
