Issue 2: Getting Down to Business Part 1

I walked out of the room to see Roulette still outside, leaning against a wall on her phone.

"Where's Mercy?" I asked.

"Went home. Didn't even want to look at you." She told me.

"She'll come around eventually." I said.

"So, What did Lexi have to tell you in secrecy?"

"Some things that don't necessarily concern you. However, he did say one thing I needed to tell you."

"Oh?" She looked up with curiosity. "And what may that be?

"That I'm also the new leader of The Legion of Doom." I said. Roulette gasped.

"why, honey! Congratulations!" She said making me smile. "...I mean, I'm sure when he made that will he meant well, but..."

"But what?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well, you see, over the last few months the Legion has... let's say... fallen off."

"...Care to explain?"

"Well, Reverse Flash is Dead. Gorilla Grodd is dead. Captain Cold is... missing a hand. Poison Ivy's been laying low. Joker is awol, although he always only showed up when he pleased, plus he's not hanging with Harley Quinn anymore. Rumor has it he's missing his face too."

"His face?"

"There was an Arkham breakout not too long ago. Heard some masked guy cut it off and a 'fan girl' of his took it. Anyway, Livewire is god knows where, Sinestro also barely shows and even though I'm sure you don't care, no ones heard from Captain Boomerang in months. The only members of the Legion that mean anything still around are Star Sapphire, Black Adam, Vandal Savage, The Penguin, Trickster and Deathstroke. Everyone else is a C Lister at best except your's truly, but I'm B at best unfortunately."

"So in short he's left me an all star sports team from 15 years ago... except they all have the injuries and concussions they've sustained since then and the ones that killed themselves or got in car crashes are still dead."

"That's the gist of it, dollface." Roulette said. I rolled my eyes.

"Well, I guess it's still something to work with." I said. "I'm going to need someone by my side, though. I was never really in the super villain scene when I worked with Mr. Luthor. I met Livewire once and I know Mercy. Other than that? Nothing."

"Why, (Y,N)! I'd happily be your partner in crime... for a price."

"Really? Didn't you just get 3 million dollars?"

"It was only 3." Roulette said.

"Alright, fine. What is it exactly you want?"

"Well the end game is a casino in ever city in every state but I'll settle for a Club in Metropolis for now. I'll put everything down and you just sign the tab."

"Alright fine, I'll humor you for now. I've got bigger super fish to fry anyway."

"Oh please don't tell me you share Lex's dumb obsession over those boring Kryptonians."

"Not necessarily. I need to get rid of the entire League to get what I'm Really after. Mr. Luthor just wanted to kill Superman because he wanted to prove that he could. To prove that a man of steel was no match for the smartest man alive."

"So do you want me to take you to The Legion's hideout so you can meet the rest of the gang?"

"Give me a day. I've gotta go stop by Lex Corp. HQ. Mr. Luthor said he still had something left for me to find but by the sounds of it, I'm going to have to finish whatever he was working on." I said. "I've also gotta go find someone..."

. . .

"Go to hell." Mercy said as she packed up the things in her room.

"Hey, I'm not the one who told Mr. Luthor to screw you over." I said.

"Oh sure you aren't! This is probably one more sick prank to get at me, isn't!? Well ha, ha! Fuck you!"

"Potty mouth..." I muttered. "Why are you even leaving? Didn't Mr. Luthor say you could stay? Rent Free?"

"I don't want anything to do with that bald bastard or you ever again! Do you even know how to run a company?" I shrugged.

"Could probably figure it out. I am a level 6 intellect after all." I said. Mercy scoffed. "But the job is probably going to be dangerous. I'm running a company that was previously run by a diabolical Villain that was once the President of the United States. I'm gonna need someone to protect me from all those caped weirdos, politicians, hell even his old VP Amanda Waller is probably going to want a piece of me." I said. Mercy looked at me with cold eyes.

"What are you getting at?"

"Be my body guard and chauffeur like you were with Lex." I said.

"Go to hell." She quickly responded.

"Oh, what? Are you gonna go get a normal job or something? Go home and Watch tv? Face it, even if you got the job as CEO you wouldn't've been happy."

"And why's that?"

"Because-... you know what? Fine. Leave. Go try and live a normal life. Don't work for me. Don't work with me. See how far you get." I said crossing me arms. Mercy stared at me a few seconds before closing her suitcase and walking out the room. All that was left was a torn up Harley Quinn poster I had gotten her for her birthday as a prank a couple years ago. I wonder if she thinks all my teasing was serious? "Whatever. I have more important things to get around to." I said to myself before making my way to Mr. Luthor's room. It was full of memorabilia from his life, a wardrobe full of suits, and to my surprise, he had three pictures on the wall opposite of his bed. They were all laid out vertically on the wall. One of Mercy and him, one with Bizarro and him, and one of me him. I looked through his drawers for something to throw and I found... Kryptonite. "Starting to get why you were poisoned by this shit." I muttered before chucking it at the Bizarro picture. It was one of the pictures that was hung up by a string and a nail. The string slightly snapped but it still hung on the wall. "Now, if I was a brainiac but not Brainiac where would I hide my secret gift to my protege." I said to myself. After I did the Bizarro picture snapped and fell into my picture, making it also fall off. "Even when that monster is away from me he-... what the hell?" I noticed a rectangular shape in the wall. I walked over and saw it was removable. I pulled it out and a hand scanner was underneath. I put my hand on the scanner before a secret passageway exposed itself. "...Oh." Was all I said before I walked through. It was pitch black in the actual hallway so I pulled out my phone to light the way. I followed it all the way just to get to... another dark room. However, something green was lighting it up. I looked over to see a huge pool filled with... a green substance? "Is that a Lazarus Pit?" I said out loud. Then the lights to the room flicked on. "Is that a Stargate!?" I shouted when I saw a huge unfinished piece of tech that looked like a portal across from me. I looked over next to it and saw some orange tubes with a deformed SUPERMAN CLONE IN IT!?

"...I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!"
