Life is a funny thing.
I'm running a massive corporation, have been for a couple of years now. I've amassed more money then I ever have. That includes illegally. And respect, I've got that in spades. The American political system really is made to cater to the rich. But something is missing. There is no challenge. For someone like myself, the business world is far to easy a beast to conquer and tame. It's become boring.
Maybe that's why I started running the program again.
Nothing nefarious, just a simple recon program. Scans the news, radio frequencies, personal blogs, every source of communication we've got in this digital age. It scans and looks for patterns. It can search for anything I tell it to, but of course there is only one topic I care about. Only one thing that matters. So imagine my surprise when I find out that He is dead. There is a roster change, but there is no doubt its someone new. It's not him.
This is very interesting.
It changes so much.
I can't help what my mind begins to think.
Without Him, She just became that much more vulnerable.
And I can't help it. I take a rubiks cube out of the desk drawer where it has sat for over three years. I begun to manipulate the sides, as a digital displays counts down. 503 hours and 47 minutes.....

It's amazing how much people will give away when they're desperate. Even for just the promise of rewards they are almost wiling to sell their very soul. Granted Faust sold that particular tidbit ages ago, and multiple times. But what use would I have for that anyway? My needs are far more practical and logical. After all a man in my position has to be careful, the more powerful you become the more powerful your enemies. And I am very powerful.
Even if they have forgotten.
The Society is long gone as are half a dozen other similar groups that have cropped up since then. Oh there is still a loosely organized villain community bu nothing like what it used to be. Which has been becoming more and more troublesome for legal businesses lately, the safeguards had eroded or just plain vanished. Many of the major players as far as power groups go are shadows of their former selves. So as usual I can only rely upon myself. Thats fine by me, I'm all that I've ever needed.
Soon everything will line up perfectly.
