Luna L.

6

Not even a day later Luna had finished a month's worth of work. She was determined to learn all she could on her father's machine that he made for her. The late night turned into the early morning as she poured over textbooks, solving equations and absorbing knowledge at an accelerated pace. Lex expected her at the dinner table but she opted to eat in her room to get her work done. Luna's unwavering commitment to her studies, coupled with her exceptional intellect, enabled her to grasp complex concepts effortlessly, devouring information like a hungry intellect. When she finally got done she looked at the clock on the wall that read 4:00 am. Luna sighed as she relaxed. She crossed her leg crisscrossed apple sauced and laid her head on the table she was at. She only needed to rest her eyes, she arose with a start after hearing a loud noise. She looked at the clock that read 9:00 am, she was confused for a second before realizing where she was and exactly what she was doing. Her father had left a blanket wrapped around her, so he must have come in here to let her know he was headed off to work. 'Gosh, what day is it?' Luna thought to herself. After grabbing a bite to eat and showering off she went to her dad's office in the house. When she got there a note was placed on his computer. 'Luna, the suit I made you is in my lab. It's finished and ready for training. It can fly and is programmed to help you fight. This next week or two is going to be rough so good luck!' The note said. Luna crinkled up the note before running to his lab as fast as she could go. When she got there and opened the door she was in awe. 

The suit was amazing. As she walked up to it two of her dad's workers came up to her. "Miss. Luthor, your father has asked us to help you get used to the suit." one of them said. "We'll be right here when you're ready." the other said. Luna excitedly put her suit on before getting the attention of one of the workers. "Is there a mirror anywhere? I want to see what I look like." She said excitedly. One of them grabbed one and she got in front of it. Luna's eyes lit up as she saw herself. She never felt more confident and she felt like a real hero. With each step, she could hear the metallic clinks, a reminder of the power that awaited her. She got walking down really fast, however, it was time for her to learn to fight with the suit.  Her initial attempts at training proved to be more challenging than she had anticipated. She would lose her balance, her legs tangled in the suit's complex mechanics, causing her to crash to the ground. Each fall bruised her body and tested her resolve, but Luna refused to let these setbacks define her. Instead, she saw them as opportunities to learn, grow, and fine-tune her skills. With each fall, she would get back up, dust off the dirt, and analyze what went wrong. She kept doing this until around dinner time when her dad came in. "Darling I know you want to get used to the suit fast but it's time for dinner." He said. "Ughh Dad five more minutes please!" Luna begged with her eyes. "Fine but five more minutes and then it's time to rest for the day," Lex said. "YAY!" Luna exclaimed before trying the move again. This time she got it to a perfect T. She started to break out in a dance as she accomplished something so hard for her to do. "Alright, Luna let's go," Lex said. "Luna stopped to catch her breath "I'm coming!" she said.

Location: Luthor Mansion 

One day before S.T.A.R. Labs break-in

Luna had perfected everything she could with the suit. Within the weeks of her working on the suit, Lex prepared his daughter with some basic hacking skills as well. "Now Luna for this to work you must put this flash drive in, it'll immediately upload a virus to delete all their files on the weapons," Lex said. One butler came in and interrupted the conversation. "Mr. Luthor the guests are here. Where would you like them to go?" They asked. "The guest house like always, I'll be giving them a debriefing on the situation," Lex said. "Of course sir." The butler said before leaving. "We have guests?" Luna questioned. "Yes we do, they are needed more than you think," Lex said to his daughter. "Who are they? How come I've never seen them before?" Luna questioned her dad with growing suspicion. "Well, honey because you didn't need to know. This group of people is going to help with tomorrow." Lex explained. Luna looked at him "I would still like to know who I'm putting myself with." She said. "Ok, they go by Captain Cold, Livewire, Cheetah, and Gorilla Grod," Lex told his daughter. Luna didn't try to show it but she was scared, those were very dangerous villains, yes her dad didn't have a clean slate she knew that. But why enlist the help of those who didn't reform after the war? "But Dad, those are very dangerous villains I mean we are trying to save the world not destroy it!" Luna argued with her dad. "Luna let me explain, they're only there to distract the security guards. Nothing more nothing less." Lex calmly explained to his daughter. Luna raised her eyebrow at her father. "Ok I believe you, but if they do more than that I will not work with you again." Luna stood her ground. "Alright, now let's go over the plan one more time," Lex says.

Luna aged: 11

Location: S.T.A.R. Labs

Luna's heart raced as she approached the vent she was going to crawl through. It was the quickest way to get to the room that held all the documents she needed to delete. She had spent days gathering information and studying the lab's security measures. Armed with her knowledge, she swiftly disabled the security cameras, ensuring her actions would go undetected. She then heard the alarm go off and kicked the vent off its hinges with her suit. She quickly made it to the top of the computer room and wait for all the security guards before she dropped down. The room was dimly lit, filled with rows of high-tech equipment and computer screens displaying complex codes and algorithms. Luna quickly located the main control panel, the nerve center of the lab's security system. With precision and speed, she connected her flash drive to the panel, accessing the lab's network. Her fingers danced across the keyboard as she bypass even the security measures. She let out a heavy breath after bypassing it completely. "Alright, it's go time," Luna said to herself. 

*Elsewhere far in the lab*

"Attention all league members I am in S.T.A.R. Labs with Captain Cold, Cheetah, Livewire, and Gorilla Grod. They are attempting to steal all weapons I need backup I repeat I need backup at S.T.A.R. Labs." Cyborg says to his com as he blasted at Captain Cold's cold gun. "I'm en route." 

Luna heard a commotion outside so she tried to get all the stuff done as fast as she could. She uploaded the "virus" as she heard banging down the hall. Luna grabbed whatever she could to block the door as best as she could. "Come on come on come on," Luna said as her heart dropped as the banging got closer. The computer finally beeped and said 'Upload Complete.' Luna grabbed the flash drive and put it somewhere in her suit. She turned away and quickly made her way into the vent as someone rushed in and grabbed her foot. "Flash to team I got someone," Flash said into the com link. She was pulled down enough for whoever did it to get a look at her face. "Hey, who invited the kid?" Flash said out loud. Not knowing the line was still open Luna screams right before she kicks him square in the nose. Flash immediately fell straight to the floor as a trail of blood fell from his nose. Luna immediately escaped the scene as fast as she could. She was almost at the end of the vent when she heard another voice join, "Where did they go?" The voice asked Flash. Luna decided to not stick around and that it was time for her to leave. After crawling out of the vent she put the cover back on and sealed it with her suit's tools. She gave a sigh before turning around and running straight into someone.
