XXX 3rd Person POV XXX
Two seven year olds run into the park throwing a frisbee back and forth. "Come on, Eve! Harder!" One of the girls yelled. Her hair was up in a half ponytail and the other girl's hair was in a ponytail. This was the only way to tell them apart, for those two are identical twins. They're very close to each other and can feel whatever the other feels from their bond.
"Ok! Calm down, Riley. Don't freak out," Eve called out to her sister. Their mom was at a friends house here in Metropolis. Their father was at home, grading student's projects. Eve then threw the frisbee as hard as she could. It flew past Riley's outstretched fingers and into the forest behind her.
"I'll go get! Be back soon!" she ran into the forest without hearing her sister's reply. She then climbed over some branches and looked around. "Now where did it go?" she thought aloud. She then saw a tree and started climbing up it.
"Yea, I see it, boss. Getting it now," she looked down when she heard speaking. A man walked by her toward a case on the ground. He was a jacket with a logo on it she didn't recognize. She climbed down and went toward him and tapped his leg. "What-." he turned toward her and looked down. "What do you need?" he asked gruffly.
She wasn't scared off though at his tone which he had hoped for. "Have you seen a frisbee? I climbed up that tree," she pointed to the tree she was just in, "but couldn't see it." He looked at her impressed and brought a hand to his ear.
"Did you need a kid for training?" Riley looked at him with her brow furrowed in confusion. "Because I found a good candidate….I'll bring her over," he then smiled evilly at the girl right as he heard someone coming. He grabbed the girl and then grabbed the case before running through the forest.
He ran into a small clearing and looked behind him. He saw Superman in the sky and a little girl that looked like the one squirming in his grip. He reached into his pocket and pulled a bomb out and then threw it toward the little girl. He saw Superman fly down and protect the girl. He smiled at that and continued on toward a car.
He put the girl in back and then went into the driver's seat and went off toward the Lexcorps building. "Almost there and I have the candidate in back. It seems she has a family that I took her from. We'll need to get Psimon to change that," he talked into the comm and heard Lex sigh.
"It would have been preferable if she had no family but I'll get Psimon to change what happened that day to her family being dead. I'll see you soon and we'll see about the girl," with that he continued driving in silence.
"Don't worry little one, Lex will be a good man to be a ward of," he said to the whimpering girl. They arrived outside Lexcorp tower and went into the underground parking lot. He parked the car and grabbed the girl and the case before heading up the stairs. "What is your name?" he demanded.
"Riley Angel," she said giving him the kid version of the evil eye. "Mommy and sissy's will come after me!" she said proudly. The man scoffed and entered the building and headed toward the elevator. They are now on their way up toward Lex's office. The elevator beeped and the doors opened.
"Get going!" he pushed her roughly forward and she stumbled but caught herself. They walked down the hall and toward his office door. He then pushed the door open and pushed Riley through the door. "Here she is. And be warned, Superman might be coming to find the girl," he walked the girl toward the desk and Lex tapped his chin.
"For now, hide her. Then we'll see what she can do. If she's acceptable, then we'll get Psimon to, you know, and then I'll get Deathstroke here and he'll train her. Get going!" the man bowed his head and grabbed the girl's arm and lead her to the secret underground bunker in the building. They stayed down there as they waited for Lex to come down and say all clear.

Riley flipped from the trapeze bar and landed on a raised platform. She turned toward Lex, her face has worried written on it. "She'll do, she has good skills and is athletic. Get Psimon and I'll call Deathstroke," Lex then walked away to the side while pulling his phone out, talking into it.
The man that took her walked a little away and pulled out his own phone. He then walked back over to the girl and waited as Lex continued talking. Soon, Lex came back looking pleased with himself. "Psimon will be here shortly, Mr. Luthor," he bowed his head and looked back at Lex.
"Good. Deathstroke will be here tomorrow afternoon," Lex then grabbed Riley's arm and led her out of the room. He led her to the elevator and they went up. They got out of the elevator and headed toward a room. He opened the door and Riley saw what was in it. It was a plain room with a single cement chair with shackles for the wrists and ankles.
She started struggling at the thought of what will happen there and Luthor just hits her head and she stumbles. While she's off balanced he pushes her onto the chair and locks the shackles. "You'll forget about your family and will be my assassin," he chuckled softly as he backed up and waited for Psimon.
Soon the door opens and a man with a hood on walks in. Riley redoubles her efforts as he pushes the hood down. "What did you want me to do?"
"Make her think her family is dead," Psimon nodded and the girl redoubled her efforts to get out. "Don't bother trying to get out little one," she didn't listen and continued wrestling in the restraints. Psimon put his hands on his head and looked at Riley in the eyes. She wanted to look away but couldn't.
She felt something warm and liquidy on her wrists and she managed to look down in her peripheral view. The metal from the restraints had bitten into her wrists from her struggling but she hadn't even felt it happen. She felt Psimon probe her mind and felt her memories starting to be changed and she yelled out.
After a while the pain subsided and she thought about what happened and only remembered being brought to Mr. Luthor after seeing her two month pregnant mom and twin sister being killed, and seeing on the news the father found killed from a mugging gone wrong. She felt the tears well up and slowly trickle down her cheeks.
She heard clicks and stood up. She looked around and saw Lex had his arms opened slightly and ran to him. He patted Riley's shoulder as she cried onto his leg. He looked at Psimon and nodded. Psimon nodded and the left the room and probably heading back for Bialya.
After she grieves today, she'll start her training. She'll need convincing to kill, I'll figure that out later, Lex thought. "Since you'll be my ward your last name will be changed to Luthor. From now on, your Riley Luthor."
"O-ok," she replied nodding. Lex smiled menacingly. The Light will be very happy to have this asset for them. Once she's old enough, she'll be serving the Light's needs. The press will be all up in our faces when they hear I took an orphaned girl in as my ward. Got to make sure no one recognizes her, and she'll need to stay inside, away from people, he thought.
"Why don't I let you rest in your room after we get those wrists bandaged up," she nodded and he led her out of the room.

It's now been three weeks since little Riley was taken from her family and Lex made sure she stayed inside as much as possible. The press knew he took a ward and he gave them the story that she was orphaned when her family was killed in an accident and he cut her hair short. He made sure that he made few appearances in public with her.
When the press asked he said she's still traumatized by what happened and shouldn't see anyone. When really, he wanted to make sure the real family didn't find her no the Justice League. Though he hoped after a few years her family will think she died and the Justice League will give up.
Though for the past few weeks he's had her hidden in the secret bunker whenever he was warned that a Leaguer was coming. Now the League has basically given up, saying that the person who took the girl was doing it of his own violation. From what he's heard from his spy the family was devastated, though the twin didn't look quite convinced.
After the first week of the girl being gone, she was on the news. Then another story came on saying her father was found dead after the family came home from visiting a friend to find him dead. Both the police and press say it was a mugging gone wrong. When Lex heard that he smiled.
Because of that, no one would bother looking for the girl, they would forget all about her. Even though he would have preferred that she wasn't kidnapped but he won't return her. She's too valuable an asset to give away. She will help the Light greatly, he thought. He looked at the monitor as Deathstroke trained the girl.
All is going to plan, he thought as the girl performed the trick Deathstroke performed.

Heya! So, whatcha think of it so far? I think this is gonna be pretty good story. Also, this is a year or two before Robin became Batman's sidekick. Just thought I'd tell you, Riley and Eve are twins and one to two years older than Robin(I don't know if Robin's thirteen or fourteen at the end of season one).
And, later on maybe after the other story is done, I'll be taking over DarkGreenForest4's story of the Young Justice team being gender bent. Just warning you for those who are interested in seeing the team as the other gender. Review! Luv ya! -RK
