Sunny
Lux combed through the text on his computer squinting against the bright light of the screen. His shades were tucked neatly on the dresser next to him and he had switched for reading glasses.
He chewed his thumb in a nervous tick as he tracked the various appearances of a certain group of individuals. A certain annoying group of individuals.
Kae would have a personal vendetta against Kid Flash and that's what he was betting on driving her. She did get tossed into juvie by him and his mentor. According to the files he had brought up it was from a rampage involving a foster youth home. Unchecked meta humans and external pressures tended to not end well. He wondered how she ended up like that, in there.
Lucy was bound to hate the justice leagues little brats anyways so he didn't have to worry about that. Even if she didn't speak to her mother or the Joker she must be particularly upset about Harley's recent imprisonment in Arkham. Lux wasn't worried, she would break out before the week was up.
Amir and Mara were the wild cards. Amir seemed to just want chaos and that was always dependable. Except when interests didn't line up. How long would it be before he was dealing with a chain of command issue?
Lux sighed tapping against the keys. Amir was a shot in the dark that had actually worked. Now he just had to be grateful and figure out a way to control it.
Mara . . . Mara would probably follow Kae, and that's what he was banking on.
Lux yawned and shut the laptop folding up his glasses. Tomorrow would be their big day. Hopefully the others would be excited.
He laid down planning our schematics and positions, but his mind kept returning to his father. Lex Luthor was a difficult man. Most of the world didn't even know Lux existed. Well, tomorrow they would. But not as Lux Luthor, as Sunny. The boy who was going to liberate the world from the Justice League. Starting from the ground up.

Devil Boy
Amir jerked awake as soon as Selkie chirped. "Nrut no eht sthgil," he commanded peering ahead.
The lights flickered on to show the purple haired one from earlier—Mara—scratching his familiar's head.
"Selkie come here," he urged with narrowed eyes as she flew to his bed frame. "You better have a good reason for being in my room unannounced."
The girl smiled opening her eyes as they adjusted to the light. They were an odd dark color with yellow irises. He didn't see that before, maybe there was something he missed.
"I mean no harm," she soothed, "I just had a question for you."
"Couldn't it have waited until morning?" He growled sitting to face her, "you are not welcome here."
She smiled again making his agitation grow. The nerve.
"I have something to ask."
"Does your keeper know your here?"
"Me and Kae are individuals and peers. It doesn't work like that. Can you hear me out?"
Amir snarled, "this better be good."
Mara sat in the chair at the edge of the bedroom with crossed legs. The room wasn't big, not by his standards, but it would do. "Sunny's planning something, an outing for us soon."
"About time we got some action," Amir huffed threading his fingers together to crack his knuckles, "are you the little messenger he sends to sneak into peoples rooms?"
"I apologize for the inconvenience, I didn't want anyone to know."
Amir raised an eyebrow. He slowly stood from the bed looking her up and down. "I wasn't aware Kae let you out if her sight."
Her smile dropped and her eyes narrowed, "I'm not here for you, I'm here for business."
"That being?" He said running his tongue over his teeth.
Mara took a deep breath and regained her subtle front, "theoretically—"
"Ah we're getting into theoretics are we?"
"Theoretically, how far of a range do you have over your abilities?"
He stopped to ponder the question. He had never tested it in the realm of earth. Maybe it was different. "I suppose I would have to be in the vicinity, in sight. But I don't know why I'm answering your little questions."
She tapped her foot thinking something over, "We're going to make contact soon. I need you to bring me robin."
That caught him off guard, "the boy wonder?" He had heard of him during his earth briefings and the boy's partnership with the Batman. "Why do you want me to do it?"
She smiled, "because I feel the least bad about this if it's you."
"What does that mean?" A sudden sense that something was off reached him. He took a step back.
"Be discreet and bring me Robin when we come across the young injustice team. Oh, and forget we had this conversation please."
Amir laid his head in his hand confused by the sudden headache. A dizziness lingered in his skull and he couldn't figure out why Selkie had started crowing. Looking up he realized he was standing in his room with the lights on. According to the clock it was late . . . why was he awake?
