"Congratulations, Renegade." Lex smiled.
"Thank you!" Renegade beamed at the praise.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to do with the heroes now?" Lex asked.
The two of them were currently having lunch together in Lex's office.
"I'm not sure. Never been a villain before, remember?" Richard said.
"Of course. Did Amanda decide to give you a fast crash course or do you still need some guidance?" Lex asked.
"I still have yet to meet with her." Dick said.
Lex nodded, "Well, if she still refuses, you can come here. I'd be glad to give you some tips. And perhaps we could even work out an alliance." Lex suggested.
"I would like." Renegade smirked.
"Good, good. Now, do you need any more kryptonite?" Lex asked.
"No, and besides, I thought you didn't just give out kryptonite nilly willy." Renegade said.
"Well, I'm happy to share my supply when I know that it's going to a good use." Lex said.
Richard smiled, "Hey, thanks for believing in me Lex."
"I always knew you were talented. What the others didn't see, they'll see soon." Lex said.
Dick smiled.

"Hello there Renegade." Amanda addressed him.
"Hello Amanda. I'll get to the point; have you thought about my favor?" Renegade asked.
"Yes, I have." Amanda said.
Richard's eyebrow raised.
"I'd love to teach you." Amanda said.

Meanwhile, Slade Wilson sat in his hideout.
"Wintergreen, I have some good news." Slade smirked.
"Yes, sir?" Wintergreen asked.
"We have a new villain. And this one is going to make things interesting." Slade said, glee in his eye.

"Okay, Renegade, number one rule of villains, with the exceptions of groups and alliances; all for yourself. Don't expect anyone to have your back out there. And if someone does have your back, it's for personal gain. Or because there's a greater plan that they need you to be alive for." Amanda said.
"Right. Villains are cunning and will use whatever means to get what they want or need." Renegade said.
"You catch on fast." Amanda stated.
"Yep, fast learner." Renegade said.
"Alright. Second rule; Don't do too much two-facing. If you do, you'll have no allies and no one to trust you." Amanda said.
Renegade nodded.
"Third; You have a reputation. If it's good, up hold it. If it's bad, make it good." Amanda said, "That's about it."
"Really? Nothing else?" Richard asked.
"We're villains. We don't necessarily play by the rules." Amanda said.
"So then why do villains have rules?" Dick asked.
"We may be evil, but most of us realize that there does need to be SOME order around here." Amanda said.
"Okay. Anything else I need to know?" Renegade asked.
"Everything else you may need to know, you'll catch up on. You're a fast learner. So, that's your assignment. Find at least three other rules, guidelines, or patterns that you see most, if not all, villains do." Amanda said.
Renegade nodded.
"We'll meet here next week. Wednesday at 2 PM." Amanda said.
"Yes, ma'am!" Renegade said and then left.
Amanda just shook her head.
She had planning to do.
