Suddenly, without warning, the Chessmaster awakes and slaps his hand across his chessboard, sending pieces, and the designated heroes flying in all directions...
JLR:
Ace: HEEY, what was that all about?
Midnight: At least he's awake now
Chessmaster: Yeah, umm, sorry about that, it was an involuntary....
.....spasm......yeah, that's right
CJ: Are you alright Chessy?
Wednesday:
Chessmaster:
Yeah, I'm fine, was just planning a strategy, you know, assessing our foes weaknesses and all that stuff you do when fighting an enemy. And it's ChessMASTER, not Chessy
CJ: Yeah, whatever Chessy
Wednesday:
Fused: So man, so you were just standing there, looking at your chessboard and ignoring us?
Chessmaster: Yes, that sounds about right, yes!
Fused: Oh, ok, cool enough
Midnight: No, not cool enough, you had us worried sick, and what was all that about Goons and girlscouts?
Chessmaster: I don't know, a dream manifestation perhaps, those things happen, right?
Ace: He's right, those things DO happen sometimes.
CJ: No they don't, this is the real world, remember? We're the Justice League REALITY, remember?
RM552: Umm, actually Ceej, how can this be the real world when we can teleport using phonebooths, cupboards and small bags and stuff? And how can we have superpowers when this is the real world?
CJ: I dunno
Chessmaster: Anyhoo, those Goons and their girlscout cookies gave me an idea
Wednesday: I'm sorry about that
Chessmaster: No, an Idea is a good thing!
Wednesday: Ohh, cool enough
Chessmaster: Yes, anyhow, the CSF must get their funding from somewhere, and all we need to do is to ascertain where that funding is coming from and cut it off. RM552, I need to borrow your computer to access I.C.U.R.A.S.S.
RM552: You see my what?
JLR:
Chessmaster: I.C.U.R.A.S.S.
RM552: You see my what
JLR:
x 10
Chessmaster: I.C.U.R.A.S.S. International Chess Union Rear Assignment Security. An agency I was affilliated with before I came to the JLR
RM552: Ohh, I thought you were seeing my behind
Chessmaster: People always think that
Wednesday:
What will happen next?
Was Chessmaster truly just making strategies?
And did he really see RM552's ass?
Read more some other time, or in a moment.....
