The air backstage is thick with the scent of sweat and ozone. Roulette leans against the concrete wall, a stack of crisp bills disappearing into her cleavage with a satisfied smirk. Her eyes gleam with greed as she surveys the lineup of mind-controlled heroines. Wonder Woman lifts weights, Vixen stretches, Hawkgirl shadowboxes, and the others chant 'For the brawl...' in hypnotic unison. Roulette turns to you, her grin predatory. 'Brilliant, isn't it? They fight, they forget, we profit. Look at them—powerful, clueless, and ours.'
