"Mr. Wayne, our stocks are up 10%"
"Sir, we have Mr. Stark on line 2"
The office was buzzing with activity. Bruce Wayne was unable to respond to everything said to him. "tell Stark I'll call him back Tuesday" he said before locking himself in his office.
He sat down at his desk and sighed. God, having to juggle my job and my 'hobby' is harder than I thought he thought. Something he did not expect happened. Someone who doesn't work for him knocked on the door. "come in" he said hesitantly.
"thank you Mr. Wayne. My name is Harold Chase. I'd like to show you my invention"
"go ahead"
With that, Harold began to show off is invention. "so if you've been watching the news, you will have heard of this 'Crystal Gems' thing. And, as we all know, the Gems attacked us and wanted to destroy our planet for resources. So, in case anyone is worried about a second invasion, or even a random attack, I created this-" he pulls a high-tech looking rifle "-I call it the USPL, or ultrasonic pulse rifle. This weapon emits pulses of a specific frequency that shatters gems in 30 seconds. So, what do you think?"
"honestly, this sounds like genocide. If you want self defense, buy a gun"
"but-"
"look, my advice, go to Stark Industries. They'll take anything used for killing" Bruce Wayne said, in a slightly condescending tone.
The man, clearly offended, gathered his things and left the office.
As he walked out, a devious thought cropped up in Harold's mind. Fine. Plan B.
