Heavy lies the crown

Two Days Later
Gotham High
8AM

In the toasty interior of the Rolls Royce Dom sat snuggled in the drivers seat wearing a red hoodie with a cartoon character on the back, tan pants, and black and red high tops. Behind him was his bookbag in the middle seat and next to him Billy sat scrolling on his phone.

Over the last couple of days, he'd taken time to slow down and really plan out his expansion plan. Once everything was set in place then he could truly focus on building connections in the villain underworld.

To get a little more product moving out of the vault, he'd given the Tona twins a couple of bricks to move around the narrows. Of course doing so brought them back on-semi good terms. Thinking about it now, he and the twins only ever got along when making money was involved.

Sure they were still friends, but if there wasn't money to be made, they never really hung out. So why not just use the same concept but on a larger scale? As long as Dom put trusted minions in key positions the rest of the pieces should fall in line.

The clock on the dash soon turned to 8:30 as a bell sounded out through the parking lot and the doors to Gotham High opened. He turned the car off and got out along with Billy making their way into the school.

Slowly walking the halls the younger teens phone lit up with a message. He smirked before stuffing his hands back in his pockets getting his friends attention." I found the bugs nest we've been looking for."

A smile formed on Dom's face as everything seemed to be coming together." Good, make sure you exterminate it tonight. I got a meeting with a partner to attend."

"Exterminate?" Billy slowed his pace a little hoping it didn't mean what he thought. Last person he'd killed was the previous Black Adam and he wasn't ready do it again.

Stopping at an intersection of halls the older teen turned and scratched his head ending the conversation." Yeah, or make an example. Send a warning out to the other insects not to fuck with Daruma."

He waited for a moment to make sure he was heard before turning to walk to his respective class bumping into Damien Wayne as he did so.

The younger boy gave a piercing glare that could kill as he dusted himself. He looked his aggressor up and down with a face of disappointment before speaking." Watch it."

Dom didn't bother responding, instead watching as Damien shot one last glare at him before continuing on his way down the hall." That shit was weird."

Shrugging it off as the interaction of the day the teen said his goodbyes to Billy one last time and started walking to class again.

Later during lunch, Dom and Billy sat at a table in the back corner of the cafeteria. He was further explaining the expansion steps when a milk carton flew over and slid across the table. It continued off the edge landing in between the two bursting splashing milk everywhere.

Both stood to avoid what they could, some spilling on their shoes. The older teens blood began to boil as laughter could be heard causing him to look up across the room at a table of students on the Football team, where BlackFire sat on the lap of some guy pointing. 

"This has gotta count as a legit reason." With clenched fist he made eye contact with the mob princess as the shadow of the table began to quietly thrash around out of sight.

Billy stared at the mess, eyes wide in disbelief at the brazenness before looking in that direction with the same expression. All this over a simple bump in a shoe store? "Of course, but we've got too much on our hands right now."

Dom's eyes drifted to the teen she was  obviously smitten with judging by the way his arm was snaked around her waist and hers around his neck. Getting  a quick idea he exchanged knowing glances with Billy who quickly picked it up.
