Death Choice

The Lab

James POV

In the three days after the meeting with Mr. Stuart in Zoe's kitchen I worked to establish a team, it was hard at first, the companies that represent the actors thought I was just another crazy fan. It would have been much easier if I was more known youtuber. The first day finished with no productive results, I know I swore to not sleep until I have a name but no-one answers. "I'll try again tomorrow" I said to myself, I didn't expect it to be easy. I stepped into my bed when suddenly, the phone rang. Probably Mr. Stuart or another stupid spam. The screen lighted up the whole room, it was matt.

Matt? It's 3 in the morning

"Hey James, it's Danielle"

Who?

"Danielle, Panabaker. I'm a friend of Matt"

Oh, yeah, you was with us in the first night, what is it?

"I heard you're trying to recruit people to save the girls"

What? How? Who told you? It's supposed to be a secret.

"Grant Gustin? One of the actors you tried to recruit, he works with me."

So someone did take me seriously.

"I want to join"

Well, I'll ask, I'm sure he will agree

"Thanks, thanks a lot, many of my friends are in the list, I will do anything to find them before death does."

We will, you was a superhero once too, right?

"Yes, sky high. Oh, by the way, did you hear from Blake? No one seen him for days"

No, I hope he is okay

"Me too, I have many numbers of " superheroes", that want to be part of it too"

That's what we need. Listen, and listen closely, get everyone you can and tell them to go to Spark tower in Tuesday, 12:00 am. Don't late.

3 days later

I walked into Spark Tower lobby with no idea who or what I'm going to see. Danielle said she wants to surprise me, she took care of anything. The lobby was quite normal for a billionaire's tower, even a little modest. The brown walls rose to a height of 16 feet, and from that height to the ceiling their color was blackish. I headed to the reception.
"Did you see any actors here?" I asked the receptionist. She looked at me with tired eyes and pointed behind me. I recognized Danielle who was standing, looking at the front door, waiting for me probably, "Danielle!" I yelled and raised my hand so she can see me. "So you found the building"

"Come" she said "there are people I want you to meet."

We walked to the little coffee shop in the corner of the lobby. I recognized 8 people I know.

"Guys, this is James, James, here are your little 'justice league'.
Grant Gustin – the flash
Stephen Amell – green arrow
Ben Affleck – Batman
Margot Robbie – Harley Quinn"

"Wait, isn't Harley a villain?"

"Not since suicide squad, anyway, this is Chris Evans, Captain America.
Tom Holland, Spider-Man
Elisabeth Olsen, Scarlet Witch
and Cobie Smulders, Maria hill"

"Wow, how did you get all of them?"

"I have my ways, none of your business, we all here for one purpose, right? You said you have a plan."

"No, I said there is a plan, come on, the guy with the plan is 50 floors above us.

*tiny time skip*

We walked into Mr. Stuart's office, the office was small, very small, and all 9 of us barely fit in there. We closed the door and waited for Mr. Stuart to notice us. On the little desk stood a standard HP computer screen, a white cup with the words "Best husband in the multiverse" written on it, a small cactus and some paperwork. Tom coughed a little making Mr. Stuart to raise his eyes. As he saw who was standing in front of him he jumped out of his chair in excitement. He came near us, shook all of our hands one by one. "Tom, Tom Holland, pleasure to meet you, love you work, I love all of your work" he managed to say, then he turned to Danielle. "Wow, Danielle Panabaker! Wow! I love you, I really do, you are the reason I started all of this, I made your suit first, never thought I'll actually meet you!"

Mr. Stuarts's POV

When I found a minute to stop talking, I noticed in their wondering faces that they don't understand a thing I say. I walked back behind my desk and pulled out a drawer with a tiny lever in it. "I think I better show you." I said "but before that, the things you are about to see are top secret, no one other my workers and us can never know anything about it, you have to promise me you don't say a thing."

The heroes raised their pinkies, good enough for me. I pulled the lever.

Suddenly, the walls began to drop down slowly, rivaling a big space filled with heavy machinery. Dozens of people with white coats wondered around with test tubes or stood around silver tables and worked on electric chips.

The actors looked around with amazed faces, I led them to the west-north corner, the only part that matters. In this corner there was a human-sized cells with known superhero suits from every genre. "This is your corner, every suit here is made specifically for the actor or actress who portrayed this character, and I finished your suit, Ben, just yesterday!"

I looked at the suits with a proud face, there they are, my babies. All of the suits I ever made in the last 10 years. There, in the right, the Flash suit. This was a really big deal, create a device that can make a person run faster than the speed of sound. Those are the hardest to make, the super-powered suits. And right next to it, the Green Arrow suit, those are fun to make, there is no better feel to fill a clothing with bunch of Gadgets. I made a suit for every superhero I idolized. But the suits are nothing. Without the universe-colliding device they are useless, lucky I was clever enough to make it build-in in every suit.

My thoughts stopped when someone tapped my shoulder "amm, Mr. Stuart?" it was Danielle's Voice. "My character from sky-high doesn't have any suit."

I turned around and Pulled out a remote from my shirt pocket and entered the number 538. Then, a door opened in the ceiling and a glass cabinet with Layla Williams's suit.
"I know she doesn't, that's why I designed one myself, with a little help from Jeff jones. And please, call me Clay"

"Those suits are very nice, but the real deal is what's in them"

I opened a cabinet in a silver closet and pulled up a one of the devices

"This weird looking thin helmet is what I call "universe collider". It doesn't actually collide universes, but if someone have the ability to portray a character who exists enough in media, he can have all the abilities of this character."

"Now, feel free to try out the costume and train, because the mission is tonight. We are going to save your friends, our idols. In 9pm we are all on the roof. James, can you come with me for a minute?"

I led him into a side room, a secret room. Nobody knows this room exist beside me.
"Listen, there is one more device that I want you to take to your friend, no one can know she's alive, okay? This is really important."

I took from the shelf a green belt.

"This is, well, I don't have a name for it yet. This belt, very much like the green lantern ring, can make anything from the imagination. It can literally make you another man. You need to use it to rescue Anna and the other girls who might be in there."

James nodded shortly, and tried to say something. "C... Clay? Grace, the girl who showed us the video, she asked me if they can also help. There are youtubers kidnapped too, you know.

"They can't come with us. But they their job is as important as ours. You youtubers have the largest fan-base today. Tell them to talk to the world, make them to support us, make sure that no other show like that will ever be broadcasted again!"
