In a dull grey room two young blond women faced each other. Each was in a 10ft by 10ft "booth" that one might find at a comic book convention with 3 walls of the booth filled with toys, swag and comic books.
In the booth emblazoned with "DC" stood an athletic blonde with golden tresses down to her shoulders and yellow goggles that looked more like sunglasses. Her top was a Red V-neck dress with yellow accents designed to show of her perky chest and show plenty of leg, even if the legs were clad in yellow tights. The outfit was completed with red buccaneer boots, matching gloves and a yellow cape that looked almost tattered but was meant to evoke flames. She was Bette Kane AKA Flame-bird. A member of Titans West, B List Celebrity superhero and a girl Dick Grayson some times referred to as a "Stage 5 clinger".
In the booth opposite, the one with a big "Marvel" stood a young women in what would best be described as a pastel tactical assault outfit in pink and white. While she looked to be in decent shape she didn't have the grace or muscle tone of her counterpart. White combat boots and leg guards went up to just bellow the knee of bare legs. from there was an odd one piece suit a bit like a pink and white gymnast's outfit, not much on the bottom but with long sleeves. However no Olympic gymnast would have cowl covering half their face. From tactical webbing hung a series of pouches, ammo bags and sword holsters, now all empty. She looked like a teenage girl's take on the mouth with a merc Deadpool, which would make sense since she was Gwenpool. A teenager from a world where the people of Marvel are but fictional characters granting her extraordinary 4th wall breaking powers.
A voice taunted the two women from an speaker a mounted on the wall next to a big "Applause-o-meter" display. "Yes ladies you are in the clutches of Dr Diabolical. Today is a mash up for the real fans. Representing the Marvel Universe is Gwenpool whose only power is her awareness of comic book trivia. Representing the DC Universe is Bette Kane who is not aware that she IS comic book trivia. Seriously folks you are looking at the first Batgirl here."
Gwenpool raised her hand, um this I'm usually not one for the "Distinguished Competition" but isn't the first Bat Girl a read head?"
Dr. Diabolical's practiced supervillian/gameshow host cadence dropped as he snapped at Gwenpool in a more nasally voice, "NO SHE ISN'T YOU "CASUAL"! BETTE KANE WAS THE FIRST BAT-GIRL in comics but things where changed in Infinite Crisis! You are such a fake geek girl! I'm going to enjoy this so much you memetic moron! By they time this is done I'll have you doing a Donkey Show in Hall H!"
An angry Gwenpool somehow pulled out a large document and waived it in the air "Donkey Show? what do you think this is "Empowered"? I work for "The Mouse" and have a moral turpitude clause. They are really serious about it, just ask James Gunn"
The voice of Doctor Diabolical coughed and continued on it it's original cadence. "The game is simple ladies, "Who is the better Booth Babe?" use the books, toys and cosplay props in your booths to move the fanboy applause o-meter. If one of you gets all the way to "Standing Ovation" then they will be released but the loser stays with me. Ofcourse I will let you go if you both admit that the other's universe is far superior to your own.
Flamebird picked up a bunny ears head band that was on the table, "Why would bunny ears help us out of here?" out of curiosity she placed them on her head. And in a flash her costume had changed. The bunny ears still on her head but she now stood in the famous "Bunny Suit", in her case in fire engine red with yellow flame accents. Her cape was gone revealing a big fluffy cotton tail on her rump and her buccaneer boots now sported 5 inch heels"
"Like what happened to my cape? I feel all cold and stuff" Bette asked vapidly and twirled a strand of blond hair in her finger.
Doctor Diabolical crowed, "Well looks like Bette jumped right in and is ready for the bunny hutch. What do we say fanboys?"
A respectable amount of applause came through the speaker and the dial started to move up. Hearing the applause Bette perked up and started bouncing up and down and clapping along, moving the dial up further as she wiggled and bounced
The applause died down and Diabolical returned to the mic, "Yes the props will help you get and stay in character. So what do you say Gwen are you going to be beat by the bimbo representing the Zack Snyder-verse?"
