Description
Elsewhere, now clad in an armoured suit faintly resembling her old costume, Bette Sans Souci listened to her masters voice, its low gravel like tone spoke to her as he observed the events from an image of his own creation. The fight was over, the 'Nuclear Man' had been shattered into dust, and Captain Atom seemed to be being berated by the one called Powergirl for not trusting his friends to inform them of where he had gone. Alec Rois, the Ghost, found this faintly amusing and he seemed somehow satisfied with the apparent failure of 'Nuclear Man'.
" You performed your part perfectly my faithful one, if i had any doubts to your loyalties, your luring of Captain Atom into conflict with the Lexcorp bio-weapon has quashed them. You have earned the armour and blade i have granted you " .
Bette was quick to respond;
" But master, Nathaniel survived the battle, the Kryptonian sow and her companion interfered, and now the weapon has been shattered into ash and dust, how could i have i earned this..." She stopped as the Hooded one gestured his hand. The image he was watching fell silent and faded.
" He was never meant to be beaten by that creature, it was merely a test of your faith, to prove you were a worthy successor to that faithless failure the Cambodian, my former servant. By unleashing what you thought would kill the man you once loved, you have proved your faith to me. Your faith is now stronger than your personal feelings. You now rightfully wear the reforged X-Ionised armour and Blade that the Cambodian squandered. " the hooded one turned to look at Bette.
" Regardless of what the Captain or his allies believe of todays events, this has been merely the opening play of a new game, and we have other players to assemble yet. " He turned away once more. " I think it is time to bring a major force into play, and your own next service is take a number of your fellow brethren to locate and free the incarcerated Ironfire. But first, 'whom do you serve' ".
Upon the utterance of this phrase, Bette swiftly fell on her knees, replying " The Faceless One, my Lord ".
" Indeed, my faithful one ".
Alec Rois, the Hooded One, the Faceless One, the Ghost, smiled inside... no crippled scientist would thwart his schemes this time, no former mentor would intervene, and the Worlds super-powered champions would in turn be dealt with. He would brake the world down and recreate it.

Ah-Ha, I knew it was the Cambodian's!
And, THE GHOST! Yeah! Looks like he's quite forgiving actually, Bette was in the crew that defeated him, and even defeated The Cambodian himself if my memory doesn't fail me.
