[AFTER CREDITS SCENE]

Rogue came to. She jerked to a seated position and saw she was in a reinforced room with her hands and legs chained and a suited man seated across from her. She went to rip the binds, and found she couldn't move. "How ya doing this?" she uttered.

"That's a secret," Maxwell Lord replied. "Anyway, this is not your normal S.H.I.E.L.D. facility. This is a secret base where 'difficult' prisoners are dealt with. We have lots of privacy. Not even some of the higher ups know about this. Phil Coulson certainly doesn't."

Rogue huffed. "So, you're going to use me as a weapon? Or torture me?"

"When you say, 'use as a weapon,' you've got a right and a wrong idea," Max explained. "When Coulson and Nick Fury found Power Girl, they couldn't resist the temptation to use her as a fix-all. So while they believed they were keeping her secret, everyone under the sun in the underworld knew what was going on." He leaned over the table. "You're not a weapon, we're both weapons. You're going to be helping me. We are a unit."

"I'm guessin' you're doing some kind of mind thing," Rogue replied, "so, boss, I guess I don't got a lot of say in the matter."

"Aw, don't be like that," he said. "I'm not going to sexually do anything, so just feel grateful. Actually, I'm going to need more than your help. We're going to need Carol Danvers as well."

Rogue tilted her head. "What's she good for? My aunt didn't say nothing."

Max shook his head. "No." He showed a graph. "Your power of flight, strength, durability, and energy blasts is great, but it's a one-trick pony. Your aunt saw her genetics; she holds the key to power duplication. We need that."

"How do ya propose I do that, sugar?"

"That's not going to be hard," he replied. "Our friend Karen Starr is going to take care of that for us."

*Carol Danvers, Rogue, and Power Girl will return*

*THE END*
