Shifted: Male Reader x DC Fanfic

Cold, Cold Heart (Part 1)

You were lounging in your room, watching the news. Life has been nice since moving into the mansion. Oh, and since Ethan was getting the company name, you both decided that the mansion shall be named L/N Manor. Your day was going well. You were watching Roman Sionis's trial. The jury had just come back to announce their verdict. You took a sip of your water, basking in the satisfaction that your first major crime lord was about to be put behind bars. This was your greatest achievement yet. 

"We, the jury, find the defendant, Roman Sionis, not guilty," you hear come from the TV. You spit out your water.

"WHAT?!" you yell at the TV. You run out of your room.

"ETHAN!" you yell.

"What?" he yells back. You guys are on opposite ends of the hallway.

"Put on Channel 6!" you yell. He does. 

After about a minute you hear, "WHAT?!"

"How?!" Ethan yells, leaving his room. 

"He has to have threatened the jury. Black Mask has been connected to multiple crimes, and we finally had the police unmask him. Roman should be behind bars," you say. 

"Is there anything we can do about it?"

"Nah, we'd have to get him for some separate crime. He is not going to be as tricky as Al Capone," you say.

"Damn," Ethan said.

"Well, what now?" he asks.

"What's the time?" you ask. He looks in his room.

"It's almost five. That shareholder's meeting coming up?" Ethan asks.

"Yeah, gotta be there by six," you say. "Mind if I borrow your car? Don't want to show up on my VMAX." 

"Yeah, sure," he says.

He goes to his room to get his keys. You walk over to his room. He leaves and tosses you his keys.

"Thanks. Hey, use the combat simulator while I'm gone," you say.

"Why?"

"You never know," you say. "You might need it."

"Oh, and ask Ferris about the thing," Ethan says.

"Will do," you respond.

You return to your room and enter your walk-in closet. You grab your only suit and put it on. You find your dress shoes, slip them on, and then look in the mirror. You adjust your tie and apply some mousse to slick back your hair. You leave your room, walk to the foyer, and then walk out through the door. You then walk over to the garage, which isn't connected to the manor. Why? Because. You open the garage and unlock the Lambo. You start the car and drive off. You drive down the newly paved road and head into the city. After some time, you manage to get to GothCorp. You enter the building. The 5th floor still isn't accessible. They also didn't find Victor or Nora, which makes you wonder. You make it to the 27th floor and follow a bunch of suits into a room. You see Ferris. He walks over.

"Hello, Y/N! Nice to see you again!" he says cheerfully.

"Nice to see you as well!" you respond.

"So, a little birdie told me that you and Ethan finally got that mansion?" he says.

"Yeah? How'd you know?" 

"Well, everyone can see the mansion," Ferris jokes. You chuckle.

"Right, of course," you say. "So, I heard you won the Humanitarian Rewards?"

"Why, yes! I did," Ferris says with cheer.

"Congratulations. When's the party?" you ask.

"Oh, in about two weeks. You and Ethan want an invite?" he asks.
