Well Fu-

Divine Intervention

"You seem a little tense" Freeze spoke.

It wasn't a question as much as it was a statement. A power play to show the other that he knew something was up. It was a move that Hugo did in fact not appreciate.

"I don't understand what y"-
"Hush, Doctor, we both know you're not one that gets stressed out in meetings like this easily, so why do you seem slightly panicked?"

Hugo internally took deep breath in and a deep breath out. "I'm merely concerned for my well being due to the fact chaos has broken loose below us, which by the way, I would've expected an event held by the Lords to have better security"

Deflect. He needed to deflect while making it sound natural.

"Doctor"
Freeze's goggles seemed to almost gleam off of nothingness, his emotionless expression adding to his image.
"I don't think you understand"

"I am a Lord"

Pressure. It was chilly and caused a shiver to run up Hugo's spine on instinct, not because he was afraid, but because it seemed as if the room's temperature had dropped several degrees at once. Or maybe it hadn't and he was imagining it.

Hugo showed no visible reaction despite this.

"I will not be put off any longer, so tell me"

Freeze held out a gloved hand towards Strange, who stared at it blankly.

"Are you with us, or against us?"

'Ok, now you might be wondering how I got here, y'know, surrounded by a group of uprising Heroes, well you see it all started the day I was fucked over by a 5th dimensional troll that'-

"Is he.......doing an inner monologue?" Kid-Flash asked the closest to him, Red Arrow/Arsenal/Speedy, who just shook his head.

'And that's how I came to be surrounded by the Titans. Or shall I be a bit more specific?'

'A former mercenary who has regeneration abilities, enhanced strength, great martial arts, and great looks while also happening to be the daughter of one of the few people I never want to meet'

'A former assassin boy with daddy and mommy issues who is the son of another person I never want to meet, and happens to come from a shady assassination cult that can bring people back from the dead'

'A speedster that I personally like but will probably beat the shit out of me before I can blink'

'An alien from space who has a bright personality but can shoot LASERS from her body....damn that body- getting off topic'

'A guy with a bow and arrow who feels like he has something to prove so he attaches fucking BOMBS TO THEM'

'As you can see, my current predicament is, in fact, not great. So, I'm going to take the easy way out'

You brought your hand up to your chest and bent over slightly.

"G-Guys before we do this can you at least let me catch a break?"

"Oh sure thing" Kid-Flash responded.

"Thanks"

"No! Why would we let him have time to recover?!" It was Robin who spoke up.

Sadly, it was too late. Your hand which was on your chest and out of view was raised slightly over your necklace as you prepared to clap it.
The Gamma Gong.

Here was your thought process. Firstly, Raven wasn't here and that probably meant she was on another floor, so no magic shenanigans would stop you.

Two, you weren't going to win this fight if it came down to you vs them.
