Air thickens the longer silence is held. Oxygen not inhaled and left to swaddle in the air longer than a millisecond, is not as fresh as it should be. At the head of a long desk, unkempt and filthy stood a young woman whose face was blank as she breathed a breath that would begin her declaration.


"Ladies and gentlemen." She began, though she was the only female present. "We are here, gathered-" She added as if needing to. "Under the notion that if a superhero bent on protecting us all decided to turn on us, what would we do?"


Some men held harsh glares towards her, some blank, and others with the ability to sit there and simply grin disgustingly. Her heart choose to beat uncertainly, her leg bending so she leaned her weight on the opposite one, hands curled and mouth pressed tightly.


"I want to gather a team of very bad people who I think will do some good." Six images appeared behind her, all mugshots of various expressions. Some with cold looks, others with leers and one, just one, with a happy ear splitting grin.


Psychopaths.


All Seven of them.
