Crypt of the Empress, New York
Selina Kyle, Zantanna, Emma Frost and Carol Danvers cuddled together with their goddess as Dick Grayson briefed the Empress on the status of Gotham and its suburbs.
“And Barbara has finished breaking the last of the firewalls into the S.H.I.E.L.D. mainframe,” Dick smiled.
“She is such a lovely daughter,” the Empress kissed the vampire Zantanna, “To think she came to me to betray all of you. Do you begrudge her my son?”
“I thank her every morning and night Goddess,” Dick smirked, “Sometimes right after lunch as well.”
“I am sure the Archdutchess enjoys your cunning tongue… and all of her vassals,” Carol Danvers smirked.
“What do my spiders have to report Archdutchess Mary-Jane?” Vampire Empress called the leather clad red haired vampire countess.
“My Goddess,” The catsuit clad former model curtsied, “Your Spiders have infiltrated the strong holds of your enemies… Peter is aboard the human controlled Heli-carrier, Miles and Lili are in Madripoor, Natasha and Jessica are in Gorrilla City, and Gwen is in Wakanda. The reports are that the Helicarrier is making for Madripoor so that Hill and Waller can ally with Luthor.”
“What so called heroes are defending them?” The Empress asked.
“Fifty mortals aboard the Helicarrier,” Mary-Jane shrugged, “Hulk, Pychloke, Bitch-Thor, Wasp, Fire and Ice are the guard dogs. Luthor claims Madripoor and that is about seven hundred mortals living off supplies for five hundred each month. Luthor keeps Circe, Enchantress, Poison Ivy, Moonstone, Livewire and Selene the so called Black Queen, as his guard dogs.”
“Poison Ivy,” The Empress giggled, “Selina, isn’t she one of your former associates? Tell me about her.”
Selina undid the chest zipper of her catsuit and concentrated on everything she knew about Poison Ivy as well as all the other Gotham Rogues at large. The Empress bit the former cat burglar’s nipple and drank the memories in her blood.
