“I … take it back!”
But it was too late. The Copyright Lawyer remembered when the Hulk magically appeared, smashing poor Thor into the ground. If anything, he did not take too kindly to anyone from the Marvel Universe showing up.
And the DC Universe? Forget it. The Copyright Lawyer had especially hated that Dawn of Justice movie–because why would Batman and Superman ever fight each other? Was Lex Luxor that much smarter than everyone?
The Copyright Lawyer sat in his cubicle (he’d been demoted after the Judge Judy fiasco, subsequently losing his corner office). He leaned back in his comfortable Herman Miller Aeron chair, contemplating next steps.
Hu Tao was right. The heroes needed a quest. Season 3 was delayed yet again, and parceling out three provinces at a time was not working. The Valhalla portal had glitched as well. Dawa was showing up 92% of the time … and well, the Random Number Generator was flawed, but no one would ever admit it.
Smiling, he changed Natalya’s scandalous costume into … Wonder Woman’s. He frowned. He wasn’t sure it was any less scandalous. It was too much cleavage. Though she did look fantastic in it.
Then he waved his hands and made Poseidon less blue … and more Aquaman. His green outfit was definitely more sparkly, but he knew that Jason Momoa would approve.
Finally, he focused on Isarnia. Who on earth was Ice? He pulled up Wikipedia skimming through old comic excerpts. He could see some resemblance, but not enough to justify disappearing her–or even giving her a new outfit. He rather liked her blue silk and white fur. Her new costume was even better.
He decided to give Isarnia back (Vela was drowning everyone with her tears–and Ariel looked haggard trying to heal everyone). He clapped his hands, setting the new stage as such–
- Isarnia would shimmer back into Atlantis.
- Natalya and Poseidon would shimmer back–but only temporarily.
- They would choose a team to rescue them from the set of the new Wonder Woman movie.
He closed his eyes, ready for his afternoon nap, already forgetting about the chaos he set in motion.
