Chpt.4
"Are we there yet?" Lex questioned with a yawn. Natalie rolled her eyes, annoyance apparent on her face.
"The next time you ask that, I'm pushing you out of the helicopter." she stated. Lex immediately closed his mouth.
Alright, so, I just helped this girl escape from my father and now she's taking me to her boss who I have no idea who he is… Did I make the right choice, because now I'm starting to doubt myself.
"Yo, trust fund baby!" Natalie exclaimed.
"Can you not call me that." Lex stated with a glare. Natalie simply laughed.
"Ooooh. I'm so scared." Lex sighed, but then felt the helicopter starting to descend.
"Are we…. Never mind."
"Yeah, we're here." she chuckled. Lex looked out the window to see that the helicopter was landing on top of a tall building in a dark gloomy city.
Natalie unbuckled herself from her seat, and Lex fumbled with his.
"Hurry up slowpoke." she stated, and he fumbled some more. Natalie sighed, walked up to him and undid his seat belt.
"You gonna be okay now? I won't need to show you how to flush the toilet or anything?" she questioned in a baby voice.
"Shut up." Lex grumbled as he stood from his seat, and followed her out of the helicopter.
"Alright." Natalie whispered to him. "You're going to be as quiet as possible. Do not say a thing, and follow my lead." Lex sighed, but nodded his head, and the two teenagers were greeted by a man with black hair, blue eyes, and was wearing in a suit, who looked very muscular.
"Mr. Wayne, nice to see you." Natalie grinned, as she extended her hand for him to shake. The man kept a serious look on his face, but grinned slightly.
"Likewise Ms. Natalie." his eyes then settled on Lex. "Boy friend?" he questioned, and she laughed.
"More like an annoyance, but I need to talk to my man ASAP. Mind if I borrow a car?" she questioned with a smile.
"Nat…." the man began, but she cut him off.
"Pleeeease Bruce. I promise I won't crash it. You saw me with the helicopter." she stated pleadingly. The man sighed, but fished a key out of his pocket.
"Do not let me find a single scratch on it, or…" Natalie snatched the keys from his hand and smiled,
"I know. I know. Scraping bat guano off the cave for a month." and with that, she grabbed Lex's hand and led him downstairs to the car. It was a black mustang.
"Sweet." she smiled, and hopped into the drivers seat of the car, then turned to Lex. "Hop in." Lex was about to jump in the back seat, when Natalie glared at him, and pulled him up to sit in the seat next to her.
"What?" he questioned.
"I'm not a Chauffeur, you're riding shot gun." she stated seriously, and then drove into the city.
"OH MY GOD SLOW DOWN!" Lex exclaimed in a panic as she drove well over the speed limit.
"But what's the fun in that?" she laughed.
"The fact that our chances of living are increased!" Lex screamed, filled with terror.
"Kill joy." she muttered as she slowed down. Once Lex got his bearings back, he questioned,
"So who was that guy? The one who met us on the top of the building?"
"Old friend. He taught me a lot. Sorta like an uncle in a way." she shrugged. Lex gave her a puzzled look.
"All that guy looked like he would be capable of teaching you was how to be a business person." he stated. Natalie simply chuckled and stated,
"You just don't know Bruce the way I do."
"Whoa." Lex said with his eyes wide. Natalie scowled and slapped him in the face,
"Not like that you idiot." Lex rubbed his cheek in pain. Natalie's hand was hard and she did not hold back when she slapped.
She slowed the car down and pulled up next to some run down apartment building. She hoped out of the car and smiled,
"Here we are." Lex's face dropped.
"Here? Your boss is here?" he questioned, and she grinned.
"Yup." He followed Natalie into the old run down building and they walked a flight of creaky wooden stairs. They then reached a door, and Natalie knocked a series of complicated patterns.
The door opened and Natalie confidently walked in, and Lex wearily followed. He scrunched his nose in distaste. The apartment reeked of sweaty socks, and a dead animal. The air will still with little circulation.
"Yeesh boss." Natalie muttered, walking to the window and opening it up. "There's a thing called hygiene, and despite popular belief, it's kinda important." Lex looked at the corner of the room where he could see a man typing vigorously at a computer. His hair was black and greasy from lack of bathing, and he was wearing a yellow shirt with a blue trench coat hung on the back of the chair.
"Did you bring the boy?" he questioned not turning around from the computer. Natalie rolled her eyes.
"No. I was lying about it all and just decided to pop up with out him, of course I brought the boy!" Natalie exclaimed. The man at the computer seemed unfazed and kept typing.
"Did you make sure that you took care of Mr. Wayne's helicopter?" he inquired.
"Yes." Natalie replied, sounding annoyed.
"Did your captors hurt you?"
"For the most part, no." she answered. He paused for a moment, then started typing again,
"Good. You are too good of a field agent to loose." Natalie smirked at his remark. Her face almost seemed to say,
'Good job covering up the fact that you care for me.' The man then stopped typing and turned around to face Lex.
"Oh my god." Lex muttered, taking a step back. "You… you don't have a face." Indeed, the man staring at him was completely faceless.
"Thank you captain obvious." Natalie snickered.
"Lex Luthor, as of now I am your new boss. You will call me, Question." with that, Lex fainted.
