The workers paused, captivated by the bizarre sight as the ship descended and landed just a few feet away from Hacker.
The hatch hissed open, and a figure floated gracefully out of the cockpit. Hacker narrowed his eyes, trying to make out the details.
As she drew closer, he could see her more clearly—a tall woman with long blonde hair that partially covered one eye, dressed in a sharp white and blue suit.
Her vivid blue lips curled into a smirk, and a pair of matching goggles rested above her eyes.
Perched on her shoulder was a small, strange gerbil-like creature with large ears and wide, mischievous eyes. A small blue hat and a coordinating belt completed it's look.
The woman stopped a few feet from Hacker, crossing her arms. "Are you, by any chance, Hacker?" She asked smoothly.
Hacker blinked, momentarily caught off guard. "Uhh… yeah?" He replied, quickly regaining his composure. "And who are YOU?"
"I'm so glad you asked!" she said with a smirk. "The name’s Ms. Power! And this little guy here is my trusty sidekick, Corneil GiggleCheeks!" She gestured to the creature on her shoulder, who gave a tiny cutesy wave.
Hacker raised an eyebrow. "Riiight… Well, nice to meet you, I guess. But what brings you here?"
Ms. Power grinned. "Why, I’m here to help you, of course! I would’ve shown up sooner, but, well… circumstances."
Hacker folded his arms, skeptical. "And why exactly do YOU want to help ME?"
"Oh, I just love your style!" she said, her eyes gleaming. "You actually got rid of that pesky WordGirl for good! That takes real talent."
"I came to Earth ages ago hoping to convince WordGirl to join me in taking over the planet. I even taught her everything I knew!" Ms. Power explained, her expression darkening slightly.
"But she turned against me. I had to leave Earth and lay low for a while. But I never stopped watching… waiting for the perfect moment to strike back."
She grinned again. "And then I saw you—teaming up with those other villains and actually succeeding where I failed. I was impressed."
Hacker rubbed his chin. "Well, I do have a certain genius about me."
"Exactly!" Ms. Power agreed. "Since you’re already working with those other fools, I figured you could use someone a little more… powerful on your team."
Hacker considered her offer. "Hmm… We could always use extra help."
"Trust me, you’re gonna need it," she said with a knowing smile. "So—what’s next on the agenda?"

In the Multiversal Networking System, the villains gathered around a massive round table, all eyes locked on the giant screen displaying Max’s face as he monitored them.
“What’s taking him so long?!” Cozy Glow huffed, crossing her hooves in frustration.
“Relax, he’ll be here soon,” Ledge replied coolly, leaning back in his chair.
“He should’ve been here by now!” Tirek growled, folding his arms.
“Yeah, what’s the holdup?” Dr. Two-Brains added, drumming his fingers on the table impatiently.
Before anyone could answer, a shimmering portal opened at the front of the room. Hacker strode through, making his way toward the large recharging chair at the head of the table.
“Finally!” Donita sighed, flipping her hair. “What kept you?”
“We were supposed to start fifteen minutes ago! You know how I feel about wasted time,” Paisley Paver snapped, her frustration mirrored by several others.
