How to Deal with the House of Cards

or

The pun is mightier than the sword

"We found the juxtaposition of human bones with robotic enemies very troubling. It really shuffled our deck you understand. I felt rather flushed at the discovery. It was suggested that the clockwork may have been bluffing to force our hand but the remains were indeed human. After much debate of why the clockwork would have a skeleton we have several working theories, so the House of Cards warns you to be on the look out for anything suspicious, including a giant robotic stomach or a man-eating woman!." .Here ends the House of Cards press release.

I had been receiving press releases like the one above for a number of weeks, so I decided it was justin tyme for an interview with one of Galaxy City's more unusual Super Groups.

One of the those that shuffled along to lend me a hand was the Ace of Diamonds. I asked her whether she was in charge of the pack. to this she answered, 'I am a frayed knot, for I am all in a twist.' I enquired if they were heroes? 'Is that a what a man in a boat does?' Ace replied.

Ace then informed me, ' Do you know I fed some lemon to my cat and now I have a sour puss. Race you to the King of Spades.' Her companion ,the Seven of Spades came over and said, 'On my mark, ready, teddy, go!'

When I finally met the King of Spades, he was in deep conversation with a six foot tall grizzly bear. He looked at me and said,'Bear with me one moment.' Then with a mighty grunt he grasped the bear and lifted it up over his head. ' I am pleased to see you are bearing up.' I replied.
