Chapter 1: Big Bang Introduction
Two young women sat nonchalantly sipping pomegranate lemonade at the poolside of a Beverly Hills mansion. They were both relaxing in their bikinis waiting in the warm bliss of the Californian sun. A young man, tall and agreeably handsome with rusty brown hair and grey eyes, entered through high beige fences. The two women looked up at him and the woman with the kinky auburn-brown hair and singed Carmel skin smiled and readjusted herself in the metal lounge chair she sat in.
"The Gem ready, Rev?" she asked with a bright smile, that was sparkly white and dazzling. The young man, Rev, nodded slipping his hands into the pocket of his Levi jeans nervously. The woman's smile widened as she tilted down her tinted sunglasses, gazing at him with dark, humored eyes. "Loosen up, Rev, its all good," her voice was heavy with a mischievous laughter.
Rev still didn't look too sure. "But...isn't this a little crazy, Cory?" he went on in an uncertain voice. Cory whooped with laughter pushing her sunglasses back in the right place over the bridge of her nose. She stood up and grabbed her red towel off a little glass table and wrapped it around her waist as she dug into the duffle bag beside the lounge chair. Rev turned to look at the other woman with platinum blond hair cut on an angle and curious dark blue eyes. "Stell, don't you think so too..?" Estell shook her head, taking another sip of lemonade.
"I think it's necessary, give the bastard what he deserves." Cory's smile had grown at least two times its original length and Estell shook her head at her friend, also grinning a bit.
"Yep, give him exactly what he deserves."
Rev let out a surrendering sigh and let his concern subside. They were serious and he knew better than to try and make them change their minds. "Let's get going, then." he said simply, looking away as Cory took out a pair of jeans and began to slide them on. His face had steadily dipped into a rosy pink, and he was aware that Cory was probably smirking at his embarrassment. She was, and practically jeered as he cleared his throat and turned to the fence. "I'll be in the car."
Cory giggled and tossed Estell a Jean skirt and faint blue V-neck. As she smoothed on a slightly transparent red belly tank and red pin-striped black blazer, Estell rolled her eyes drifting into her own clothing."Have I ever told you, your habits are a bit questionable?" she cracked. Cory's grin didn't falter and not a ounce of offense crossed her face, as she slipped on her black tango heels.
"Frequently." she murmured as Estell pinned up a blond lock with a hair clip. "Got the juice?"
Estell nodded. "Uploaded the software into the main computer yesterday, got the artillery?" Cory gave her a small grin and lifted the flap of her blazer. The butt of a M1911 pistol jutted out of the inside pocket it was tucked in.
"Do you even gotta ask?" she grabbed the duffel and a huge black suitcase. "Rest of my babies are in here." Estell grinned and grabbed her own duffle full of her hard drives, software, and viruses. She was ecstatic that the thing she planned for years would finally go into effect.
"Let's go, then." the two of them locked elbows and strutted coolly to the sleek Lamborghini convertible sporting a metallic white pain job, with the coordinates for Gotham City in the navigation. Cory got into the drivers seat and turned up the volume to a Nikki Minaj CD in the stereo."Luthor, your ass is ours." Estell whispered as they shot off down the road.
The gang parked out front a very nice tan-colored villa in lower Robbinsville. Cory sighed as she stretched from the long drive. It would have been easier to fly out…but then they might confiscate her stash and she would not have that. Estell and her collected their things and entered the house. They hadn't been there for years since after the orphanage was burned and their parents moved them to Cali. Rev came up behind them after popping the lid back over the Gem.
"You guys are too rich." He murmured with bulging eyes as they stood in a rustic themed living room. Cory shrugged and walked up the familiar gangly stair case. Estell and Rev followed her into a large white painted room with a red, purple and white polka-dot covered bed that was the shape of a circle against one wall. On the other side was a flat screen and bathroom with a Jacuzzi in it. Cory smiled taking in everything about her old bedroom. The book case was still full of poetry, intelligence feeds, and interesting research. The throw pillows were still in the corner of the room, and playstation 2 and Xbox 360 plugged into the TV. Everything was still the same.
She unpacked her duffle bag that was filled with wooden posts, screws, a few hammers, and some metal build-it-yourself stands. "You gonna do that stuff today?" Estell asked and Cory turned to her, shocked.
"Of course, I can't let them suffocate in this suite case, can I?" Estell shrugged and went down the hall to her own room, as Cory began to set up the stands for her weapon collection. Estell's room was light blue and gold accented. Her satin gold bed was pushed in the middle of the room with a circular counter around it. She started to setup her computers and other trinkets she found to be fun. She was an ITT student, seven years in fact,and also took some brief classes in psychology. She brought out a few Ipads and a Mac computer.
Rev passed her room to explore. He'd known Cory and Estell for some years from college. If he hadn't been so bored and up for the absolute impossible, he probably wouldn't have been here in such a cool crib. He came to a room roughly as big as Cory's. It was blazon orange and had stairs that traveled downward in the corner. It was completely bare of anything else. The stairs stroked his interest and he went down them, curiously. They brought him to a huge garage. He could see two hot Mercedes parked to the right, one a hard covered convertible and the other a Inden Design White Angel upgrade package. He was stunned and touched it in awe.
"Like your room, huh, Rev." Estell and Cory were standing behind him, both smirking. Rev was shocked and his mouth gaped open.
"My room?" they nodded and he sighed with a huge smile as he continued to check out the vehicles.
"You can work on the cars as much as you want. You said you wanted to update the Gem, right." Rev nodded looking at them as he pulled up the hood of the Angle.
"Yeah, you want more force right, incase the Bat comes on your tails." Cory scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Please I can take that rodent." She grinned, imagining Batman before her. "He'd be an alsome opponent." She'd be delighted to beat the stuffing out of him. She loved to ridicule men, or anyone for that matter ,with high power.
"What about that other one, what's his name…" Estell stopped to think and Cory sighed. Estell didn't keep tabs on heroes as much as she did.
"Nightwing," she answered and Estell nodded. "Heh, I'd like to test that kid out. He's new to the game."
"Well, you might get the chance later tonight." Another grin crept onto Cory's face. Estell also cracked a smile, knowing that tonight would be the best thing that ever happened in her life. She and Cory looked at each other a second before going back up the stairs to their rooms. Rev watched them leave and turned back to the engine of the Angel. He opted to get the Gem set in the garage and start to get to work on adding more to the build. Tonight's gonna be a show… he thought as he brought up the garage door with the Gem's keys in his hands…
The ballroom was full in the Luthor residence. The whole city had been in a buzz and rumbled with excitement to attend the latest bash thrown to celebrate the completion of LexCorp's new laboratory. The host, Lex Luthor was as supercilious as ever, complementing each pretty face he encountered within the melting pot of his guest. He spied his greatest competitor, Bruce Wayne, lollygagging with a group of ambassadors who were supposed to do business with him. He took an agitated sip of his Champaign, and turned his gaze elsewhere.
Lex's roving eye caught sight of Estell in her gentle blue halter strapped frock gown, by herself beside the back table. Her eyes met his and held them for about three seconds before she looked away with a shy grin. That was as good a green pass Luthor had ever received. He approached her confidently and Estell fought the urge to kick him in the shins and spit in his face. Instead she smiled looking as happy as she could manage.
"Hmm…I don't believe we've ever met." He cracked a toothy grin and held out a hand that Estell took with strain. She shook it meekly with a subtly flirty grin and slightly closed eyes.
"Well, we have now. My name's Estell," Estell knew how to get a man's heart racing with just facial expression. She wouldn't bat her eyelashes or anything like that, but she was good enough to pull off the mousey girl image. Luthor pulled forward slowly to kiss her hand. If he weren't such an ego maniac, he'd be dashing enough to capture her heart. But he was and he was a murderer as well. For a moment she considered just murdering him now and forgetting the plan. But he wouldn't have suffered enough that way.
"Dance with me." Luthor asked in a voice that seemed more commanding than as a question. Estell's smile didn't sour as she nodded sheepishly. This little façade of being shy and con-able would distract the billionaire's attention beautifully. As Estell and Lex made their way to the dance floor, Cory had been making her way to the projector that would show other LexCorp creations to the audience. On the way, however, she bumped into the side of a handsome young man with jet black hair and clear blue eyes. He wore a pin-striped suite with a gray and black tie and turned fully around to her. His hard hands held her steady as she threatened to fall backwards. She looked up and soon recognized him as Dick Grayson.
Dick smiled at her charmingly. "Someone's in a hurry aren't they?" he asked in a sarcastic voice. Cory stiffened in a daze but kept herself posed, nodding as he let go of her arm.
"Yes, so if you excuse me…" She tried to sidestep him but he purposely kept getting in her way with a polite grin, apologizing sarcastically as he did. Cory stopped and stared at him, trying not to look as pissed as she felt. "Is there a problem?" she demanded.
Dick smirked, shrugging his big shoulders, his eyes holding hers, semi-intense. "Pretty girl bumping into me and not giving me a single thought, no problem at all," Cory's grin shifted into a coy dimpled little half smile. She rested a hand on his arm and the other on his chest gently.
"I would love to chat but I have something that I must do." Dick nodded his head and whispered back equally seducing, "Maybe we could talk some other time. Name's Dick-"
"Grayson, yes, you buy from my father's site frequently. He mentions you a lot. I'm Cory Mox, nice to meet you." Dick's eyes widened in surprise, as the two of them shook hands and he returned his to the pockets of his pants.
"Mox, as in mox-place. net?" She nodded. Most people knew the multi-billion dollar website that merchandized more than fifty-thousand consumer products, from woman's make up to army intelligence weapons.
"You seem to share my interest in artillery, too." She murmured, just as she saw Estell motion her to hurry up from behind Luthor's back and she smiled at Dick apologetically. "Well, I'll catch you later, kid." She took a pen from his front coat pocket and turned his wrist over before writing down ten digits. "Call me sometime." She winked before she left.
Dick watched her leave, making a soft whistle as he sized her up. Cory, huh, He thought with a small smile. Nice package…
Cory quickly skidded under the table cloth of the back table beside the computer and projector, inconspicuously. She tore open her dress and threw out the duffle bag she had smuggled in. she dressed into her costume swiftly, armored herself, and stuck the hair clip hard drive Estell had given her earlier into the computer. She pulled on a headset and spoke into the receiver. "Ready," Estell heard her from her ear piece and excused herself to the ladies room. Luthor sighed annoyed as she turned and power-walked away.
"Show time," she laughed under her breath as she began to change into her own costume. Cory grabbed a slide-show clicker and climbed to the top of the table. The people in the room all turned to her, confused. She grinned brightly, knowing they couldn't tell who she was from the red half mask she had on that only showed her nose and mouth. She was wearing a black sleeve-less jacket over a little red button-up belly tank, only a bit closed. Her long stretchy black pants, that had many pockets and red knee pads, were tucked into a pair of red heeled boots that came up to half her shin. In a way she guessed she did look weird. Cory clicked the clicker and the projector showed a live feed to the security cameras of the new LexCorp lab.
"Ladies and gentlemen I'm glad to announce that today shall be the beginning of Lex Luthor's suffering. As you can see this is the new LexCorp lab. Now watch as something spectacular happens. You see this thing in my hand." She took out a little rod with a red button on it. "Is a detonator and this," the screen closed up to the outside walls of the lab with little black packs attached to it. "Is a bunch of C4 and there's also huge clamor on the inside. Pretty, huh? Well, stay tuned to something even more beautiful." She clicked the detonator, causing the whole LexCorp lab to explode and all the cameras went dead, leaving the projector screen blank. The audience screamed loudly and Lex began to cuss at her. Cory grinned, peering at them with excitement. The plan was a synch.
