Hey! Here's a disclaimer! I don't own any characters in this story except for one. Well, three actually, but two of them are barely in it. Anyway, I'm not affiliated with DC Comics in any way, shape, or form.
"The Justice Alliance?"
"Yes."
"Seems a bit pretentious."
"What can I say? I like a little flair. Anyway, we can come up with a batter name if we have to."
"Sir, I know how much you admire these people, but I can't help thinking of all the ways that this could go wrong. Like what if other countries hear about it before we're ready to announce? And what if they just plain don't work as a team? I mean, two of the four have criminal records."
"Six."
"Six? My papers say four."
"We're going to add Stone and Wilson. The team needs people to lead it."
"Wait, is Stone the leader? Or is-"
"Both of them."
"Mister President, Slade Wilson may be a soldier, but he's hardly capable of working with others anymore."
"We'll make him capable. He's agreed to counseling and conditioning on the terms that we provide good lives for his estranged children."
"Does Stone know about Wilson?"
"I should think so. He's probably listening to us right now."
"Part of me wonders why we trust him, too."
"Would you believe that it's because I'm just a trusting person?"
"Please. The day Lex Luthor is a trusting person is the day I run for president myself."
"On that day, I just might vote for you, Mercy."
