Prologue
Location: Unknown
May 10, 10:14 EDT
It was a dark and stormy night in Metropolis City. It was more or less a rather clique beginning. Yet none of the thunder or lightning would stop Q from reaching her destination: Lex Corp.
She entered the sleek tall industrious building. She had an odd misplaced swagger that clearly belonged somewhere else. Her jet black trench coat and army boots stood out in the building of suits and ties. She was also clearly too young to hold a job at Lex Corp.
She strode toward the secretary's desk and leaned against it expectantly.
"May I help you?" the secretary asked dryly as if dealing with a teenage girl was beneath her.
"I have an appointment with Lex Luthor," the girl replied with an equally dry tone.
"Mr. Luthor isn't taking student interviews right now. You can come back tomorrow," she said her voiced laced with a false pleasantness.
"That's where you're wrong," the girl said as she notched what looked like a small silver toy gun against the secretary's head. "Do you know what this is? This is a next gen Shock Wave gun still under wraps by Star Labs. I can give you a quick and quiet death. I'm not a student. I'm an asset of Lex Luthor. He'll want to see me."
The secretary, eyes widened with shock, nodded and got up from her chair. She came out from behind the counter.
"Follow me," she said shakily keenly aware of the small gun still pinned against her back as she guided the girl to Luthor's office.
Lex Luthor's office was at the top of the sleek office building. In addition to that the office had a privet elevator leading right into his office. The office's wide windows were pounded by rain as it contorted making the outside surroundings look like wet ink smearing on a page.
And there, near the window there was a desk silhouetted by the darkness of the evening. There sat Lex Luthor in all his splendor and greatness. He appeared calm and collected, completely in control.
"Sir, um… a girl would like to see you," the secretary stammered scared about how her employer might act to an unexpected visit.
Luthor smiled to himself.
"It's very good to see you again my dear," he said addressing the teen. She nodded at him in acknowledgment. "You may go Mary."
The secretary, Mary, nodded obediently and exited the office.
After Mary left the room, Luthor turned to the young teen a cool smile on his face.
"What news of our plans?" he asked the girl.
She gave an equally cold smile to Luthor in return. It didn't quite suit her beautiful face. She looked like the kind of girl who be caught at the mall on weekend and would shameless flirt with a cute guy. Instead the cold smile made her seem older closed off and … cynical.
"Everything is ready. We wait only for Savage's word," she replied. "And he has given it hasn't he."
It wasn't a question. It was a statement. She already knew of Savage's authorization to set the plan into motion as soon as possible.
"You already know," he said coolly. His eyes rested on her trying to communicate an unspoken question.
When does Savage want it?
She frowned.
"All in good time Luthor," she said cryptically. (Translation: Tomorrow)
He smiled. But his smile was happy or any other positive emotion or any emotion for that matter. It was devoid of emotion and feeling.
"My dear you have out done yourself," he stated. "I'm proud of you, Q."
"Thank you Luthor," she cooed. "As I say though with the Light reap the benefits what the Justice League sows."
Luthor reached under his desk and grabbed a bottle of wine and two glasses. He popped the bottle and poured its contents into the two glasses. He offered a glass to the girl.
He cocked an eyebrow to the girl asking an unspoken question.
She gave a seductive smile , her blue-gray eyes warming considerably.
"But of course."
She took the glass from his hand and held it up. A toast.
"To a new world."
"To a new world," he chorused and they both drank.
This was the start of a new era.
