It had juxtaposed strangely with the story she was used to, of course. Poor, sweet old Mr. Sinestro, murdered long since, had often given many in the Underground hope that people could change for the better. So when the JLA heard that he and his associates were attacking those kids in Chicago, she knew this was going to be serious.

And boy, was it. The two teams had been scattered. The last Margery had seen of anyone besides the person she was with, Jon was trying to contain things while The Lady -- um, Cindy Lord, that was it, had gotten right in Sinestro's face. That hadn't appeared to be going well.

"can't fight can't fight not good not *bzzt* unable to comprehend...programming overwritten warningwarningwarning-"

The small robotic being known as Andy looked as if it was having a seizure, it's normally androgynous form shifting and roiling underneath the thin layer of nanomachines. But what is worse is the tone of the androids skin. It is sickly yellow.

"Warning warning...warn..."

"...run."

When Andy turns to face whoever this is, instead of a person Andy saw...something else. Something...that looks almost delicious.

It's a damn cold night.

That's the good news. It means Margery's operating at her best capacity, and can put a few things together.

"...You don't want to eat me, kiddo. I'm mostly made of quartz."

Andy hears this, and begins to cackle. but the cackle sounds almost as if two people are laughing in perfect tandem.

"Will not eat you...per se. See your tasty Fear. Will feed on that."

Andy grins. Instead of her normal facsimile teeth, what is show is a mouth full of needle-like fangs.

"Time for dinner and a show."

Well, that's not good. But for as skittish a person as Margery normally is, she panicks less than one might expect. This is practically familiar territory.

"You realize you're going to lead Mr. Sinestro right to us, right?" She says as she looks around, gauging the area as she backs away.

"Sinestro wants Entity. Entity wants Freedom. Am having strong programing against, but programming broken. Now Entity has Power. And needs feeding."

That grin somehow gets bigger.

"That's all very interesting," Margery says as she keeps backing away. "I did not know that. But then, I know something you don't know."

"Does not know lots of things. Not knowing what you know not important. Now is feeding times."

Andys body shifts more as the whole form of Parallax comes forth, shifting the androids body to that of the yellow Entity, the chitinous insectoid form of Fear.

"Yep, you're scary all right. The stuff of nightmares." Margery said as she continues to retreat.

"But...well, two things, really. One is that I don't have nightmares when it's hot. Just one of those things; don't dream on hot nights. I don't think much, in the heat, and when it's really hot, I don't even feel." This would seem completely irrational to point out, as this is not a hot night. But Margery explained it anyway, as she kept backup up, and Parallax kept approaching her, until she was backed up against a large car.

Suddenly, Margery smashed her fists into the car, breaking a window and puncturing the gas tank. "And my nextmost primary ingredient, after quartz, is flint."
At which point, Gasoline spray on her, the content the car, 'Andy', everything, she clapped her hands.

The shard of Parallax was overpowering Andys sense, so Andy could not make the scans necessary to have any idea as to what Margery was doing. Andy was just feeling the Fear that the extrauniversal being was feeling.

It wasn't until the mention of quartz that this hybrid of the anxious young lifeform and being of pure fear realized what was planned and did its best to close the distance, but the force of the explosion launched the mass of nanomachines several yards back in recoil of the heat and flame and force and shrapnel of the blast.

"Am not flammable! Will not be stopped by that little thing!"

It gets no response. Margery's unconscious among the flames. Can't even dream. Can't feel a thing. The only sentient being in parallax's immediate vicinity is no longer feeling any fear.

Andys form shifts and repairs itself in response to the burns and shrapnel, but is no longer feeling the fear that the weird woman was giving off. There is a yell of frustration. The Fear! It was gone! There was only pain there, from the burning! That is not right!
