Wonderstrike is lured into Dreadbringer's game as he plays the victim to trick her into his realm. He presents her with an ultimatum, a room that she cannot leave unless she kill him. Wonderstrike is very reluctant to take his life, but this terrifying trickster pushes her to the limit in a vicious physical encounter, leaving her in no doubt that it is either her or him. But can she unravel his true game?
Wonderstrike is on hand to tend to a member of the public who has been attacked by a gang of five, a routine mission, but as she calls it in, the ‘victim’ takes her down with a chloro rag. Waking chained to a chair, she realises she is in the presence of Dreadbringer, a villain only talked of and rarely seen. Together, they are looked in a room that even a Wonder-blast couldn’t get her out of. The only chance of escape is when the door sensors can detect only a single heartbeat, and not two. Wonderstrike has never taken a life, but Dreadbringer takes her beyond her usual boundaries with his baffling power and mean spirit. An incredibly vicious fight between them follows, and only one will ever leave… However, perhaps this master of illusion has a scheme that Wonderstrike cannot fathom? Find out now…
