She snorts. "Since coming here, I have learned that supervillains where I come from are maybe a little different from the ones in other people's homes. Do supervillains in your home audition for their arch? Or report to an organization? Most of them at home don't want to rule the world, I don't think. My ex did, but more in a 'finance and power' way than in a 'crown and scepter'. Like I said, he was a lawyer."

There's a pause for a drink, and she shrugs. "I like that approach. Rule the whole world from behind the scenes. Let someone else take the blows and the blame, be the face of it. Like the Koch brothers."
