Louise stared at me, Roulette, and Mercy with a mix of confusion and anger.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be!?" She asked.

"(Y,N) (L,N). CEO of Lex Corp. These are my associates, Mercy Graves and Roulette."

"Does it look like I care who those two are? Now tell me what am I doing here... and why am I in someone else's underwear!?" Frost shouted. She was in one of Banshee's Band T-Shirts and a pair of black panties. Ironically, the band seemed to be called "Cold".

"What do you remember?" I asked.

"I was in this place... Belle Reve. It's like Hell on Earth. I tried to escape and... Amanda Waller..." She started feeling around her neck. "Wait, where's the scar?"

"Scar?"

"Waller put this bomb in my neck. It left a scar on the back of it but it's gone."

"Well I'm sure the pit probably took away all blemishes from your body after you went in." I said.

"The... pit?"

"This is the part where you explain to her she died." Mercy said.

"I... What!?"

"After you tried to escape Amanda Waller killed you. That was almost two years ago. And then I brought you back to life. You're welcome." I said.

"I... I..."

"What's wrong with her?" I whispered.

"Are you really that much of a sociopath? You just told her she died and is going through shock!" Mercy shouted. I looked over at Frost and her shock started to turn into anger.

"I'm going... to kill THEM ALL!" She said as ice knives formed in her hands.

"That's probably the Lazarus Pit talking. Also, side effect of you being alive, you're gonna be really angry and really crazy for a while." I said. "But yeah, we can get around to killing Waller eventually."

"The hell do you mean we!? I'm grateful that you brought me back from the dead or whatever so I'm going to give you 5 seconds to get the hell out of my way before I smash you into little ice cubes." Frost threatened.

"Uhhhhhhh, (Y,N), hun? We should probably move." Roulette said with a shaky voice and panicked eyes.

"No, I think I'll take my chances." I said with a smirk.

"Did you hit your head or something!?" Mercy asked. Louise's eyes turned white as her hands started to form a blue aura with cold air surrounding them. However when she went to throw them at us she froze (no pun intended) and stopped moving before her eyes went back to normal.

"Why can't I-"

"Since you don't seem to remember allow me to jog your memory: when you came back to life you went berserk and tried to kill me and Mercy here. To stop you, I injected you with a sedative... while also planting a small chip into your brain."

"WHAT!?" Frost shouted. "So I've got another bomb in me!?"

"No, not at all. You see, that chip? It's interfering with your brainwaves. It's basically like brainwashing except you're completely conscious. I can command you to do whatever I feel like. So far the only thing I've implemented is you can't do anything that could possibly harm me or Mercy."

"Excuse me?" Roulette said raising an agitated eyebrow.

"I don't want to strip away all of your free will as, quite frankly that would be boring. The only thing I'm necessarily forcing you to do is work with us on our plan to take over the world. But if you comply willingly, you'll be paid handsomely."

"Go to Hell." Frost said with hate in her eyes.

"Suit yourself." I said. "Louise Lincoln is not to leave this cell!" I shouted. Frost's eyes twitched before she grew angry.

"Like hell Im not!" She said. I walked out of the cell and made way for Frost to try to leave before she stopped moving as she reached the door. "H-Hey!"

"We'll see you tomorrow, Louise." I said walking away.

"YOU BASTARD!" I heard Louise shout. I smirked as Mercy and Roulette followed me.

"When did you have time to make that?" Mercy asked.

"I thought of it yesterday. I worked on it while I figured out how to use the portal."

"The portal?" Mercy asked.

"Long story." I told her. "So do you believe me now?"

"Believe you about what?"

"You being a junkie?"

"Ugh, again!? I literally can't stand you! Its been a long day I'm going to bed!" Mercy said before storming off.

"Goodnight!" I called out to her before chuckling. Roulette and I walked into the main corridor of the underground base with Manta, Cold, and Banshee.

"How'd things go with Frost?" Manta asked.

"Could've gone better, but she'll work with us nonetheless."

"Alright, Boss, whats the gameplan, Then?" Cold asked.

"Well, I need the three of you to get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow while you're all getting situated I have some more goody two-shoes stuff to do and then I need Cold and Manta's expertise to help me work on an important piece of tech to build on our 'Motley Crew' as you so eloquently put it... honestly I could get used to that name."

"Too bad it's copyrighted." Banshee chimed in.

"Was That her making a joke, or was she just stating that in case we've never heard of Mötley Crüe?" Roulette asked.

"I'll work on a better name." Cold said. "Alright, you heard the man, everyone get some shut eye. Hell knows I could use it after today."

"You should go too (Y,N). We've got a big day ahead of us with Lex Corp." Roulette said.

"I'll go to sleep in a little bit. I just wanna do something real quick." I said.

. . .

I stared out the window of the top level of the Lex Corp. building. Mr. Luthor's office. My office.

"I could get used to this view." I said to myself before walking over to my desk. I picked up a picture of Mr. Luthor that was still there. To suddenly be in charge of a company like this was insane. I never thought in a thousand years I'd get this far in life, but now Mr. Luthor has encouraged me to try and go even further with it. And there's absolutely no one who's going to be able to stop me n-

I slowly put the picture down and stared straight ahead.

"I was wondering when you'd be stopping by to see me." I said before turning around to look at Superman flying in front of my window.
