Sofia went to see her friend, Clair who was still getting ready, but when she turned to leave she saw a familiar face; standing before her in a sharp white suit was the recently released "ex" supervillan with the power to control people just by speaking, The Mind Master AKA Edward Williams.
Sofia tried to shout but was stopped with one word from the ex-con "calm down please" he spoke "I'm not going to hurt you-- ah you must be Sofia, Clair's friend".
"H-how do you know this?" she asked nervously, she's only fought this man a handful of times but only one time is enough to know the person standing in front of her was very dangerous. "why, Clair is my fiancé after all" those words struck her like a punch to the face, Clair hadn't said anything about who she was marrying just that he was a great guy and that she really loved him. Was all that brain control? or did she really love him? and him love her? she wondered.
"I- I need to speak to Clair--" she trembled then he grabbed her by the shoulders and looked her sternly in the face and spoke "listen to me Sofia, all that crime business is behind me, I do love Clair. And I want to spend the rest of my life with her, you want to be happy for Clair don't you? her and me both" he secretly used his powers of mind control to make this woman accept their marriage.
He truly did love Clair, her compassion and for the first time in his life he was happy, after all subconsciously altering Sofia's mind to be happy for Clair and their love wasn't too bad, this way everyone would be happy.
"y--your right, I guess i must have been nervous or something. but now i see there's nothing for me to be worried about; you love Clair and I'm glad that you're going to make her very happy" the hispanic woman said with her altered mind.
the two parted for now and Sofia rejoined her friends. "Sofia, am i wrong? or did i see Mind Master here somewhere? that creep brainwashed me into helping him take over city hall two years ago" Jennifer asked her friend skeptically.
"No it was, but there's no reason to be worried he's going to be Clair's husband." Sofia replied calmly "uh what? Sofia are you out of your mind? how can you be okay with this?' added Sam who was shocked by their friend's response. "look he's put all that villain nonsense behind him, he's turing over a new leaf and we have to give him every chance to do so, and besides he really does love Clair trust me" she explained.
"Fine but i'm keeping an eye on him, if he tries something I'm taking him down!" Sam said confidently "he won't so just relax and try to have a good time, the wedding is starting soon" her teammate reassured the speedster.
Within the hour Sofia reunited with her best friend and the wedding went o without a hitch, when the whole affair was said and done Alison came and picked up the three heroines and brought them to Sofia's estate. "I'm having the oil rig, we talked about, ready to be rebuilt into our base of operations later today and it should be finished in a couple of weeks, until then well keep in contact with each other the old fashioned way, see you again soon" Sofia announced and then made her way into her enormous house while the other two women sped home to their own cities.
Later that day Sofia re dressed in a fitted navy blue suit pant and white blouse with her raven locks flowing freely and went to Lydia Wolf and had everything set up for the oil rig. Lydia informed her that construction and remodeling would begin the next day and be ready in at least two weeks. After that she went home to some much deserved sleep.
(I didn't intend to drag on this second chapter of part one this long but theres a lot of stuff i had to cut short in this post alone i.e almost the entire wedding and the details of Sofia's meeting with Lydia Wolf but i have to get this story moving, so hang in there, part two is coming up soon!)
