For three days, life was not any of my concern. I lived as though I had no job and I drank as though I had no life. But I do have a life. You see, I have Genevieve's live. For fucks sake, I didn't even know a fucking a Genevieve. This is how I was while I was alone for three day. Today would be my first time back at work. To be honest, if I still had this job then I would be genuinely shocked. The way I kicked Lex out of my apartment was extremely wrong of me.
I strolled into work as if I was there for those three days and Lex did the same. This gave me a sense of comfort as I smiled at him. We went up to his office and I told him the list of today's activities.
"Ah and for today, you have to meet up with a company called Thunder Corporations at the Zephrymore Building. There, you discuss.... many branches of your work here at LexCorp." He gave me a shy nod and whispered a weak sound towards me.
"Do you want to know a secret?" This was surprising, really. After what I just did to him the other day. "We aren't going to be discussing anything about international conglomerate, industrial manufacturing, bio-engineering, or even oil." I nodded to him and shrugged it off. LexCorp had so many interests around the world and personally, I thought it would be nonsense to add anymore.
We got ready and after about five and a half of nonsense working with speaking to people about oil and airlines and this and that, we finally left for this meeting. By the time we got there, I noticed a shift in attitude in Lex. It seemed as if he was more excited than usual. Then, when we went through the gate, the man called him by the name of Tommytown. This was all making no sense to me. There was nothing I could do so I stayed back and just pretended to act normal.
When we got into the building there were people all around. It was big but only had two floors that you could see very well. Then we went into a room where we had to wear masks. The scientist looked at us and then specifically to me.
"Oh, hard rude of me. This is my assistant!" The scientists all around the room waved to me then started getting back to work. All but one, at least. This one spoke to Lex about a weapon.
"The blast is powerful, Lex. It stuns the person with chlorophyll for just moments to weaken them. After that, you shoot them again and can send a mixture of other chemicals that will create a spark. Only one boom and just about anyone is out. They become brain dead before the spark reacts and leaves them paralyzed. This will make you invincible." His hands were on Lex's shoulders and all I saw from Lex was a smile that I have yet to see. What is going on here?
"Oh, you must be confused, Genevieve. This isn't a real company that holds the renowned stockholder, Mr. Tommytown. This is where I go when I need something bad to happen." He was so nonchalant about all of this. There was no care in his voice as he spoke about creating a weapon that causes someone to be brain dead before they explode. Now, I didn't care really. That's because I am crazy and I've killed too many people to count. Death is nothing to me. He isn't supposed to be okay with all of this.
"Lex... I need you to tell me exactly what is going on." Just about everyone in the room laughed or chuckled and I gave them a look to silence them. That's when Lex out his hand on my cheek and patted it lightly.
"Genevieve, I'm going to kill Batman."
I walked home today. All the information made me think about if the Wayne's Enterprises vs. LexCorp feud between CEOs was about companies or about batman. Is this why he had Natalia come to Joker and I all that time ago? Was he trying to work hand and hand with us? The thought needed to get out of my head. This is all just a joke.
No one was laughing. The joke was simply not funny whatsoever. Was Batman going to die and all because Lex Luthor? What made him obsessed with killing Batman? I started to wonder if Lex was giving me too much information. Now, I hate Batman just as much as the next villain so don't get me wrong. There were limits though. The weapon that was being made was far too dangerous and there was a possibility that it could be used on someone else.
Should I be scared? Lex wouldn't hurt me because he likes me, right? Or what if he is trying to lure me in so I could be his sidekick? I've done it before and it didn't end well. There's no way that I could do that to Joker. I was and am in love with him and cared about him. I've always had an eye out for him. After I left, he went in a fit and killed people for no reason and robbed more banks and ended up in Arkham twice.
The only person that I would accept to kill Batman was Joker. He has killed too many of Batman's guys to work his way up to Batman and then find out someone had gotten there first. It wouldn't be fair to him. He deserved it.
I need to stop thinking about him. It's about time that I moved on. There was an empty void in my stomach every time I thought of him and it broke me down every time I got like this. How do I always end up thinking about him? Why can I not just live a normal life? Everyone I bump into ends up being some nasty villain or something.
The universe wanted my life to be this way. It was its way of saying I needed my karma for all I have done and all that I am willing to do. The wrong in my mind that was so twisted and the ominous laughter at the thought of death to someone I despised all makes me crazy. I don't deserve to live a happy life anymore. Joker and I had ruined it by falling in love and working together.
Now Lex wanted in on the joke of life. There was always something to remind me of how bad of a person I am and how bad other people are. Lex was the prime example on why I needed to do more background checks. I wonder if anyone at the building knows about this plan. Does no one know about the building for Mr. Tommytown? Where has Batman been that this shit hasn't been stopped? Oh yeah.... Joker likes to play games with the man and his alter ego.
There was something that I had to do in order to keep Batman alive. The thought of protecting him made me feel disgusted but, it was for the best. It was a favour for Joker that he wouldn't know about. Not the first time I did something for him since I've been gone. No one has to know, it'll be my secrets.
Everything is a secret. Absolutely everything was hidden. I needed to find a way to make it found without making it known to the public.
Well, me and Bruce Wayne are about to get close.
