Chapter 1: The New Guy
A man dressed in all black was scaling the wall of a large mansion owned by Lex Luthor. His name is Plunder, and he is a bounty hunter and mercenary for hire. He does not speak often, but, when he does, it is often for two reasons; one, he's about to shoot you with the long rifle he carries. Two; he is telling you it is hopeless to fight him.
He stealthily scaled the side of the building, and landed silently on a balcony. The bounty hunter radioed in,
"It's me. I'm on the roof. How's the alarm going on?"
A male teen's voice said,
"We got the alarm's disabled. This is gonna be awesome!"
Plunder shook his head,
"Electrode, must you have brought Fastball into this?"
A second male teen's voice said,
"Plunder, relax. I told him he could blow something up when we're done."
A third voice, a little more monstrous, cut in,
"Rip Roar hungry. Rip Roar want food."
Electrode said,
"I know. You can raid the fridge while we raid for the valuables."
Plunder rolled his eyes,
"How does Winston put up with you?"
Fastball smirked,
"He gets drunk a lot when he's not cooking."
He then added,
"Do you think he liked the new cooking set we got him?"
Electrode shrugged,
"Beats me. We did steal the money to pay for that thing from that psycho chick that likes me."
Fastball said,
"Which one? The one that throws dice, the one who always has an entourage following her, or Luthor's ex-wife?"
Rip Roar shook his head,
"Rip Roar thinks it was Contessa. Contessa scares Rip Roar with her screaming."
Electrode shuddered,
"That woman has sick tastes. I mean, I know I'm good looking and everything, but there is NO way I want to have her do the things she wants to do. Bondage is out."
He then added,
"Unless Zatanna's tying me down. Then, that's different."
Fastball laughed,
"Of come on. Did you see that outfit Wonder Woman was wearing?" (1)
Plunder growled,
"Are you done yet? I'd like to get this operation started."
Electrode nodded,
"Yeah, yeah. All set. All right, guys; let's have a little fun."
The alarm was disabled and the looting began.
Lex Luthor, the bald industrialist, was sleeping soundly in his bed when a loud crash aroused him from his sleep. He sat up,
"What's going on? What was that?"
He then saw his refrigerator get thrown into the room. He screamed for his bodyguard,
"MERCY!"
A gun slide sounded behind him. Plunder smirked underneath his mask,
"I wouldn't go calling for her, Luthor. She's tied up at the moment."
Rip Roar's voice could be heard,
"Rip Roar likes ice cream. Does scared lady like ice cream too?"
Electrode's voice could also be heard,
"Knowing her, she'd probably enjoy it if you licked it off her."
The billionaire growled,
"You four are dead meat when you leave here."
Plunder took the butt of his rifle and slammed it in Lex's face, knocking him out. He then began tying him to the bed.
Downstairs, a burly beast of a man with four arms and a red mane of hair was gorging on everything in sight. He is Rip Roar, formerly of the planet Apokolips. Bred to be a warrior, the four-armed brute was captured by a group of scientists that wanted to conduct experiments on him. Now, free, Rip Roar has developed a taste for Earth cuisine.
A blonde man in sleek-looking armor was carrying a bag, moving at superhuman speeds. His name is Fastball. He is a party animal and villain that tried to make it big in Central City, but never got enough street cred with the other Rogues. He flirts with women, and has no appreciation for the consequences of his actions.
Finally, the fourth thief, the teen Electrode, was a black-haired young man wearing a biker jacket and jeans. Lightning bolts showered the jacket, and he wore fingerless gloves. He flicked an electrical spark in his hands and threw it into the next room, shorting something electrical out.
Electrode had united them all together for one purpose and one purpose only; to steal from the super rich super villains. And Super heroes, too. More on that later.
Fastball ran around, cackling,
"Artwork! Electronics! Jewels! And it's all ours! HAHAHAHHAHAA!"
Electrode shook his head,
"Just keep looking around. There's bound to be something else valuable around here."
Mercy, who was tied to the chair, growled,
"Do you realize what you're doing? You're stealing from Lex Luthor! He's not going to forgive you for this!"
Plunder walked in,
"Luthor's out cold."
Electrode looked at Mercy, then at Plunder, and, finally, back to Mercy. An evil smile formed across his face. Rip Roar groaned,
"Rip Roar no like what Electrode has planned."
The electric-powered thief said,
"Plunder, get my camera and get Mercy up to Lex's room in five minutes."
Plunder hefted the woman on his shoulders and walked out calmly, which was less than what Mercy was acting like.
Ten minutes later…
Rip Roar and Electrode were laughing as they took pictures of an unconscious Lex Luthor and Mercy in…compromising positions. Plunder shook his head,
"You two are unbelievable, you know that?"
Electrode flashed the camera and said,
"I just realized something; we could go into the blackmail business."
Fastball then came up,
"You guys aren't going to believe this!"
He looked at Luthor and Mercy,
"And, neither do I!"
Electrode waved off,
"We're done here. We should go."
The explosive-using speedster shook his head,
"Come on, you gotta see this."
Downstairs…
In his escapade to find valuables, Fastball had stumbled upon a secret door way under the mansion. Upon further investigation, the speedster found a room containing a large metallic shipping container. When Fastball opened the container, however, he could not believe what he saw.
Kryptonite.
Electrode blinked,
"There must be five tons of this stuff in here."
Fastball jumped up and down,
"So, what do you think?"
Plunder folded his arms, smirking underneath his mask,
"I think the ticking time bomb just made our night."
Electrode grinned,
"Oh, yeah. Let's get this stuff back to our place."
