Agony and Electracy!
THERE couldn’t have been a greater contrast.
Batman was slumped disconsolately in his seat like a broken man while the screen above was showing scenes of wild jubilation.
He’d not left the Batcave for five days – the sickening red weal around his neck growing uglier and more disfigured by the day while his body still ached from whatever beating he had taken after passing out at Electra’s feet in front of the National Bank.
The Caped Crusader had wearily dragged himself back to his lair to be greeted by one final ignominy – a huge election poster erected in the centre of the Batcave showing a grinning leather-clad Electra with the slogan: Vote For A Better Future.
Robin had also steadfastly ignored his repeated messages – the only sight of the Boy Wonder coming from the incessant news bulletins showing him at Electra’s side on the campaign trail.
Now the exultant vixen was revelling in her landslide win as she milked the acclaim of the crowds at her victory reception.
Batman winced as he watched dignitary after dignitary appearing on stage to heap praise on the new Mayor and pledge their unconditional support to her new administration.
Finally the woman herself took to the microphone – clad in a tight, shiny halter-neck rubber dress with a swirling brown pattern which repeatedly spelt out the word Victory across her fabulous figure.
The dress swept down in a long V-shape on one side with the other cut short right up to her thigh.
A pair of brown knee-high stiletto boots adorned her feet and her was scraped back off her face and tied in a long, curly ponytail behind her.
“She’s not just a Mayor,” blurted the TV announcer excitedly. “She’s the sexiest politician this country’s ever seen! How do I get on her staff?
“Heck - she can put the taxes up and I’d be happy!”
Behind Electra and just out of shot of the TV cameras Anneka slipped her arm around Robin’s shoulder and squeezed it affectionately.
Finally Electra raised her hands to silence the crowd.
She beamed at them and then raised her fist in the air.
“Meet the new Mayor!” she cried eliciting a great roar of appreciation.
Electra laughed contentedly.
“Thanks, thanks,” she said breathlessly. “And a big thank-you to everyone who voted for me.
“Today is a great day for Gotham City. A fresh start, a return to prosperity, a return to law and order, a return of the city to its people.
“I can promise you all a better life from now on.”
She paused to take in the applause and then raised her hand again.
But one word of warning,” she said more seriously. “I know the majority of the people are with me. But – as certain incidents during my campaign demonstrated – there are some who are opposed to change.
“To them I say: You lost. We won. So, prepare to join us – or get out of my town!”
The cheers reached even greater heights as Electra punched the air exultantly.
“Finally, finally,” she exclaimed. “I’d just like to thank all my campaign team – and most especially the gorgeous Robin.”
The Boy Wonder blushed as Electra flung her arm out to indicate him and Anneka pressed her fingers into his shoulder.
“Hey, hands off Anneka,” grinned Electra, winking at the crowd. “That’s Electra’s boy – find your own crimefighter!”
Laughter rang around the room followed by more wild yelps and rhythmic handclapping as the new Mayor bowed theatrically and walked off stage waving wildly and blowing kisses.
Back in the Batcave the Caped Crusader covered his face with hands and breathed in deeply.
Dark thoughts flooded his mind and he sank into an even deeper depression.
Electra had not just won – she’d almost annihilated him. She seemed to have irrevocably severed his partnership with Robin, exposed him in the eyes of the public as an arrogant male bully who liked threatening women, openly taunted him for his inability to stem the city’s crimewave and now challenged him to become one of her supporters or get out of town.
What more could she do?
That thought stayed in his mind as he sat motionless for what seemed an eternity until, deep within him, some sense of defiance finally stirred.
You’re Batman, he thought. The Dark Knight. Gotham’s saviour.
And you won’t be defeated by a woman. No matter how cunning she is.
He rose from his seat and took in a long, deep breath his face set in an expression of grim determination.
I shall have revenge, he said to himself. And it will be sweet.
