> Be Dr. Pavel
> working in obscurity in Uzbekistan
> one day a guy that calls himself Bane introduces himself
> seems okay, a little weird wearing the mask all the time
> loves to talk about planes and superheroes
> don't have much to say but I enjoy his company
> he asks me innocently one day when he's at my house where my doctoral degree is
> I try to change the subject, as I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody aside from a small circle of friends.
> meet Bane's homies, WB and HG
> they let me know Bane's loaded
> Bane admits he's an eccentric wealthy guy, and shares his plan of destroying the CIA
> as I'm in a former Soviet nation, I like the idea of ending secret police of every persuasion
> he describes the plan with some odd words, almost like he has a crush on the CIA.
> in the end, he asks me to join him
> a little hesitant, but they are all my friends and if they trust me with this secret it must be for real.
> the day comes
> we're all in a jeep for hours
> eventually one of them starts talking to pass the time
> WB asks where my doctoral degree is, what kind of doctorate I have, in a real suspicious tone
> Bane notices but doesn't say anything
> I'm so pissed, WB was probably just giving me a hard time to quell his own nervousness but it's over the line
> HG chimes in as well, Bane defends me unconvincingly like a parent trying to reassure a mediocre kid
> I didn't agree to be part of this circus act in the sky to have my credentials questioned
> maybe it was the total lack of suspension in the vehicle or the dubstep Masketta was playing on the car stereo but I'm firmly in a bad mood
> we get to the plane, some guy has been holding his belt like a pair of effeminate spiders since I saw him in the distance
> I get out of the car
> he says "Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA"
> I realize this one guy is what Bane was talking about, no wonder he was so confident he could destroy the agency
> He looks at the hooded men I knew for years in the car and says "Uh, you don't get to bring friends".
> I say, angrily "They are not my friends"
> Some jarhead named Private Sir takes me on the plane
> as soon as I sit down I realize how upset I was and how mean that comment was
> feel so ashamed that when Bane mentions me by name I blurt out "NOTHING! I SAID NOTHING!" hoping he buys it and we can go back to being pals as normal
> it didn't work
> Bane took blood out from me for some weird reason but he did make the instigator, WB, stay in the plane
> later he shoots me with a blank to shock and terrify a stadium
> the league of shadows is a fun social club
