" don't tempt my demons "

Nothing was
scary than y/n's face in that moment. They could barely make out Lex's facial features in the dark setting which was the Batcave. Tied to a chair, he had no control over the situation.

"Tell us Lex, why'd you hire y/n?" Dick leaned forward, getting to business right away. Lex did his usual chuckle,

"because, how else would I get Batman distracted long enough that I could take over Metropolis?" He explained like it was obvious. Y/n felt an odd feeling, why would he just give away everything he was planning?

"Was it you behind the Superboy attack?" She pressed as Lex rolled his eyes. Clearly, this wasn't the type of interrogation question he was hoping for.

"Of course it was. Now, I'm dying for you to ask me about my new weapon." His voice was like a cat purring. Luthor leaned back in the chair, getting comfortable.

Y/n looked at Dick, who she expected to ask the question yet he looked hesitant. What were they even going to ask? There were so many things, like; who are you selling it too? How many guns did you make? What are you plotting on doing with it?

"At the conference, you said it could kill Superman. How?" Dick's tone was serious and scary. He didn't choke on his words as he placed both hands on the handles of the seat, looking Lex dead in the eye. Y/n didn't know what to do, so she just watched.

"Psh, please. It can't really kill the boy scout but you have to sell a product." He paused, resisting any urge to chuckle. "It's strong enough to knock him about for sure, not to mention what it would do to a regular human."

"So that was the big plan? Ambush Batman and Superman's proteges so you could sneak up on him and end him?" Dick asked again. Lex nodded. It can't be this easy, y/n thought.

"Well, it's not just my plan." He started laughing like The Joker, "but The Lights." He stopped his laughter immediately. Dick had heard of The Light before, a group of supervillains all working together. He looked at y/n frightened as he recognized the sound of the elevator opening. At first, they thought it was Bruce coming to join them, but they were very, very wrong.

"Mercy! It took you long enough!" Lex exclaimed as the two of them spun around to see the assistant from the video along with two other figures, hidden in the darkness.

As they stepped out of the darkness and into the light, y/n recognized both immediately. On one side of Mercy, a man dressed in royal clothing, his gray beard gave away his identity right away. Count Vertigo. With mind scrambling, ear piercing abilities.

On the other side, Dick scowled as y/n felt lightheaded. The second figure to walk out, a demonic face she dreaded seeing again. Slade WIlson, aka Deathstroke.

"Hello little girl." He was referring to y/n as she stood petrified. She barely had time to get out of the way as Mercy's hand extended into its own weapon, blasting at their feet. Y/n rolled to the side, checking if Dick was alright. He was, thankfully.

"I should've known you were behind this." She said through grit teeth, a single tear sliding down her check. With a fisted hand, she slammed the ground getting up. Y/n had been trained with quick reflexes as she grabbed the batarangs from her dress, tossing them towards her old mentor.

Y/n wasn't focused on what was going on behind her. Mercy had already untangled Lex but Dick wouldn't let him get away.

She watched the batarangs stop mid flight, hovering in the ear as she was drowned with a nauseous wave and bleeding ears.

"You shouldn't have been so weak, y/n." Slade taunted her with the abuse of her past. If you were weak, you needed to be fixed until you were. "It's a shame you couldn't go through with your job."

Stubbornly, she tried to withstand the conditions of Count Vertigo's but it only became more intense. Little spots of black danced around in her sight and the last thing she saw before her head hit the ground was Dick struggling to keep off the android assistant.
