"He'll enjoy this whole mess then if he and the others ever find their way here. Thus far, we're the only members of the team that seem to have been abducted. I've kept the nature of our...organization somewhat vague, but it won't be difficult for them to realize what the Legion is and what we are. Supervillains aren't quite welcome in the social circles we'll be forced to walk in, even if we're not the worst in the multiverse."
This part was the tricky part, guiding Lyle into understanding the lies that had to be told and the truths that had to be understood here.
"The world itself isn't that bad. Gates would love the government here - you know how he gets, always whining about those ridiculous 'freedoms' and 'rights' on some of the worlds we visit. This world has none, it's a glorious example of how a government should control its people and the needs of the many are sacrificed for the needs of the few - of the strong."
Basically, it was a living hell and went against everything the Legionnaires believed in.
"To prove their strength, we've been brought here to fight to the death in a series of gladiatorial arenas - a clear demonstration of the Capitol's power and generosity. Most of the Tributes are revived from death each time - that's where their generosity comes in, and we were brought here from our home dimensions to fight in place of the children they usually select to fight to the death in the Arena - without a means of reviving them, I'm told. I suppose they decided they wanted their favorites to have more than one chance."
He tilted his head to the side slightly, glancing sidelong at Lyle, hoping he'd gathered up everything he'd needed to.
"We've been wandering the multiverse for so long since the destruction of our universe. There are ways to extricate oneself from the Arena, by virtue of winning or applying for release. I think we should keep our heads down and do what we do best. Eventually we can turn this to our advantage. This wouldn't be the worst world to settle on and we do have a variety of skills to offer the ruling government."
That part was him saying they needed to quietly and discreetly kick their ass. That part being the part they did best.
