p class="MsoNormal"The Gang's moment of peace and joy was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Falcone. The Crime Lord was now standing at the top of the grand stairway with a perfect shot at any of them from what appears to be a large Super Soaker type water gun/p
p class="MsoNormal"Alfred: Bollocks! How did you even find us?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Falcone: Saw a Bright green light flash by, figured it by something to follow./p
p class="MsoNormal"Hal: Whoops/p
p class="MsoNormal"Falcone: I gave you all a choice, you could have just stayed out of this and it all would have been over/p
p class="MsoNormal"Alfred: You just attacked our home, you attacked all of us and took children hostages!/p
p class="MsoNormal"Falcone: Yes, but you all could have just let me kill you all when I got here./p
p class="MsoNormal"Arthur: You think you can take all of us out with a kid's toy?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Carmine fires his aims his spray gun at the Gang Hal quickly put up a force field around them as the entire room was sprayed. The Just Us Gang watch as the whole place became engulfed in an odd purple, white and green gas from high Ceiling to the floor. The seemingly small stream bubbles and expands before bursting in a fiery and toxic explosion leave the room devested in a fog of multi-colored flames./p
p class="MsoNormal"Carmine: A kid's toy indeed, The final gift from that Joe Brat, some form of magic acid that devours, dissolves, and detonates anything it comes into contact with./p
p class="MsoNormal"The magical toxin began to eat through Hal energy force field/p
p class="MsoNormal"Hal: That's not supposed to happenspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Carmine: This stuff so powerful that the kid had to coat the inside of this gun so that it could hold it. Imagine what it'll do when it touches someone, I won't have to cause I'm about to find out./p
p class="MsoNormal"Alfred: We need to move!/p
p class="MsoNormal"Hal: I'll keep reinforcing the bubble, but I'm not sure how long it'll hold?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Diana: Arthur and Barry, do you think you can blow away this fog a flame?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Barry: Not without spreading it around and burning off my hands/p
p class="MsoNormal"Arthur: I don't have any water to summon to trident, plus I don't think an uncontrollable flood is what we need right now./p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: Bruce, do you have your grapple-gun maybe we can (pause) Bruce. Wait, where's Bruce?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Arthur: Wasn't he with Hal?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Barry: I didn't see him when Hal landed./p
p class="MsoNormal"Alfred: Heaven NO, do you think he'll still out there in the gas/p
p class="MsoNormal""AHHHHHH!" A scream came from outside the bubble/p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: "Bruce!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Carmine "Get off me, you little juvenile delinquent." span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: No/p
p class="MsoNormal"While Hal had tumbled over the banister onto the floor, Bruce had let go before-hand, dropping onto the upper half of the stairs. He was about to head down when he noticed Carmine was coming and hid behind one of the doors leading to the hallway at the top of the stairs. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce had somewhat predicted this was going to happen. ''When Carmine becomes the last man standing, his behavior will be overrun by panic and frustration. Falcone will then overload his weapon and try to take out all of his problems in one blast if he sees them all in one place. That's why I had everyone meet in the same area. In this emotional state, he will be single-minded and not notice that I'm not there or that I'm secretly sneaking up behind him. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce's attacks on Falcone was swift and brutal, utilizing his limited knowledge of combat and pressure points, Bruce didn't just want to stop Falcone, he wanted to hurt him. However, Falcone was bigger, stronger, and what's not going down quickly to some a child. He tried to focus the weapon at Bruce; however, Bruce kicked him, causing him to blast behind him. It when threw the banister and towards the ground below as the acidic substance filled hole the floor with deadly Green, Purple, and White fire. Falcone lost his balance and tumbled over the side before a grapple gun wrapped around his waist, leaving him dangling off the pit of fire hed created. Falcone could have just easily pulled himself up and away from the hands of death, but there was an angry 14-year-old in his way with his hands on the rope. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: First, my family, now my friends, you just won't stop until you've taken everything, won't you."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Falcone: No, no, please!/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce once again thinks back to the theater, lying on the floor helplessly pinned, hearing the people beg for their lives. The sounds that had haunted him for years were now coming from the man who caused them. Maybe if he finally disappeared, they'd stop./p
p class="MsoNormal""Bruce, wait!" a voice called out from through the fog of flames, grabbing his attention; it was Clark. He'd leaped through the magic acid wall that Consumed most of the Main hall surrounding Bruce and Falcone. Destroying his Blue sweatshirt, but that wasn't important right now./p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: I couldn't see you, but I could hear you. What are you about to do?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: Ending it, ending him./p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: You sure that's what you wanna do Bruce, we always wanted to help people, and you said we'd never intentionally kill anyone."span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: They're the reason I don't have parents; they took everything from me. I'm all alone."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: You're not, alone, Bruce, you have me, right?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce looked back this time into Clark's eyes, clearly begging him to stop and listen./p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: For how long Clark? Your freaking invulnerable and look at what he's done to you?/p
p class="MsoNormal"They both looked down at Clark clothes while Bruce often came away from their adventures with a couple of scratches and tears, Clark's strength always meant that he at most had a little dust on his shirt. However, now he looked a mess, burns all over his face and arms, blue T-shit and Jeans covered in tears and scratches and eyes that recently been crying. All this did was infuriate Bruce; on top of everything else, this man had hurt his best friend and left him in such a sorry style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: It's not my Sunday best, I know, but …/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce looked right back at Carmine, still dangling./p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: I can't lose you too/p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: I'm not going anywhere buddy/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: He knows who and what we are; this could ruin everything./p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: It'll be okay we can still help the metas/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: I'm not talking about the Metas, I'm talking about you and me. You and all the others have powers; if you get caught, who knows what. They might take you'll away. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: They can try to keep us apart, but they'll fail./p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: How do you know?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Clark: I … I don't, but I know I've never wanted to take a life, and I know that despite being best friends, we disagree on many things. I guess this might just be another one of those./p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce paused/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: No … No, it won't. Manor Voice Command Active Sprinklers!/p
p class="MsoNormal"An English Voice similar to Alfred's responded, "Right away Master Bruce" and triggered the sprinklers, putting out the fire and diluting the toxins. Changing it from a room of Green, White, and Purple fog to water blue and gray Main Hall in mere minutes./p
p class="MsoNormal"Bruce hands Carmine's grapple line over to Clark, who with his strength, chucks Carmine over to the now soaked but safe Just Us Gang./p

p class="MsoNormal"Bruce: All right, then let's go round up the rest of his trash./p
p class="MsoNormal"In a manner of minutes, the Just Us Gang quickly gather up the other thugs and gangsters Carmine brought and turned off the sprinklers and slapped them all awake, expect for a name="_Hlk44440781"/aCarmine./p
p class="MsoNormal"Barry: As you can see, even when caught unaware and injured, we still kicked your ass, so get out./p
p class="MsoNormal"Diana: And unless you wish to find out what we're capable of armed and ready. I suggest you leave all of us style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"Arthur: Speak of this evening again to anyone, and next time you'll all go into a hole of fire/p
p class="MsoNormal"Hal: Something worse, we've got a lot of power and big imaginations/p
p class="MsoNormal"Falcone's gang looked into the calm and angry eyes of the group in front of them. The Just Us Gang may have technically been a bunch of children. Still, at the moment, they was nothing childish about them, not jokes or emotional threats, just powers and promises./p
p class="MsoNormal"Falcone's Gang picked up Carmine's unconcise body and left threw the big hole they made when they'd arrive./p
p class="MsoNormal"As they wandered into the night, the goons discussed their next move/p
p class="MsoNormal"Goon 1: What are we going to say to the boss?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Goon 2: I don't know, but it's not going to be a pleasant discussion./p
p class="MsoNormal"Goon 3: I think I might find a new form of employment./p
p class="MsoNormal"Back inside the Manor, the Just Us Gang all made their way to the top of the stairs with Alfred and Clark to gathered and consoling Bruce.

p class="MsoNormal"Lex Luthor: Well, that concludes another uneventful day, Mercy Lockdown, the top floor, and convert it from office to personal domain./p
p class="MsoNormal"The ample office space began to convert into a more personal domestic setting when suddenly a voice said, "I've heard of living at the office but give me a break."/p

p class="MsoNormal"Lex: Out here genius/p

p class="MsoNormal"Lex: Mercy, are any of the aircraft scanners malfunctioning?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Mercy: No, Lex./p
p class="MsoNormal"Lex: Alright, then put the cloaking field up around the balcony, I apparently have an unexcepted guest./p
p class="MsoNormal"Mercy: Shall I train weapons on him?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lex: Do you even have to ask?/p
p class="MsoNormal"The man wandered outside and got a better look at the mysterious visitor. It was Joe, the Falconie Potion Maker, although you'd be forgiven for not recognizing him.

p class="MsoNormal"Joe: Hello, you were the big guy who was supplying Mister Carmine with all those fancy weapons right correct, that was one hell of a test run./p

p class="MsoNormal"Alex: Yes, I haven't heard from them for some time? Don't you work for them or something?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Joe: Yeah, I did, but you know I was done with following orders. You know, once I got this new magical makeover, I realized I should go off on my own, be my own boss and build my own empire./p
p class="MsoNormal"Joe was waving his hand about while he talked, and he kept giggling at nothing in particular./p
p class="MsoNormal"Lex: And you came here for what, lessons cause I'm...?/p
p class="MsoNormal"Before Lex could finish his statement, Joe stretched his arms outward and a cloud of green gas few toward Lex/p
p class="MsoNormal"Lex: What the devil _ aahh./p
p class="MsoNormal"Lex's whole torso was engulfed by green gas, sparks began to fly off as the Adult Exo Body Suit was being eaten by acid./p

p class="MsoNormal"Alexander's child's body tumbles out of the exo-suits wreck as he recomposes himself on the ground; it was Joe's turn to be surprised./p

"Oh, what the hell, you certainly made an impression. Come inside and let discuss whatever this is. At least then it'll be easier to kill you in I decide no."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Joe: Sounds lovely/p
p class="MsoNormal"Alexander: I've never known the Falcone Crime Family to just let someone leave their employment alive./p
