Ch.4 Partners In Crime

Luthercorp:

Lex Luther slammed his fist angrily against his side of the long wooden table. Growling he tossed a file of papers in the air.

"This is unacceptable!" He boomed at others sitting by the same table, "Crime has gone down nearly twenty percent! What is the meaning of this?"

Slade who was at the table spoke up, "The titans have been causing a great deal of trouble for me in my portion of the city. Making it nearly impossible for me to get anything accomplished."

"Batman is becoming quite the nuisance now!" Joker spat, "Because of him I can't even get to a punch line without being smacked in the face!"

Darksied was next, "The Justice League has isolated my armies, the only thing they're living on is borrowed time."

"We need more men!" Derek Powers exclaimed, "We can't keep going on like this! We must round up other criminals to keep ourselves from falling."

"Even then it probably wouldn't matter." Slade announced, "The number of heroes in this world far outweigh that of villains, even if we did outnumber them surely they would conduct a plan to tip the odds in their favor."

"So we're at a loss then?" Lex asked.

The others nodded grimly, "It would seem so." Joker announced, "This clown has seen better days and has had better laughs."

BOOM! A portal opened up above them and a group of men fell on top of the table. Gideon was the first to sit up, than Red Dragon, the Fernandez brothers, and finally Anderson. The different crime lords exchanged looks of confusion.

"Where are we?" Gideon demanded pointing a finger at Lex, "And why the hell do I look like a cartoon?"

"What is this some kind of alternate reality or something?" Kane asked holding up his hand.

"Maybe we died and this is just our version of hell." Gunner added.

"Don't be preposterous!" Anderson spat, "If we're in hades than-"

"I'm the devil." Lex said standing up and pressed an intercom, "Security top floor!"

The doors burst open and a dozen men dove in with helmets and wielding nightsticks. Joker had an amused look on his face.

"Well, looks like they're here to pick a bone with you." He chuckled.

"Come peacefully and we'll go easy on you." One guard spat.

Red Dragon had had enough, leaping into the air he formed a brilliant jump kick and took out the first guard. The rest swarmed, but Gideon was ready. Using sheer brute force he leapt off the table and speared two men at once. The rest attacked the Fernandez brothers, a big mistake. Kane beat three to a pulp while Gunner flung two out the window.

Two went for Anderson, without even flinching Anderson reached into his jacket and pulled out a silenced pistol. He blew holes into their craniums at less than two feet. When the guards were taken care of the Black Dragon Mob set their sights on those who were in the room with them.

"Alright I want answers now!" Gideon shouted.

"And don't try to get cute or we'll break you in two!" The Fernandez brothers threatened.

Lex was shaken for a moment but began chuckling, he started to clap his hands. The rest of the crime lords grinned, they had found they're help.

"What's so funny!" Gideon demanded.

"Forgive me," Lex said, "but I've been looking for reliable help and I would like to employ you and use you're talents."

"Hey think again bub, we're no ones bitch!" Gideon shouted.

"What's a bitch?" Joker asked growing puzzled.(Remember in this universe there is no such thing as "Profanity")

Gideon couldn't believe his ears and stepped back, "Get away from me homo!"

"Of course you will be handsomely rewarded for your services." Lex said.

"Forget it, we're not interested just show us to the exit." Anderson said.

Twenty guards fell into the door and aimed their machine guns at the BDM's Anderson looked back at Lex. They had to join, unless the Black Dragon Mob thought death was a wise move. All four members looked at their leader for his answer, they were willing to fight if he were willing. But knowing that the cons outweighed the pros in this situation Anderson did what he was asked.

"Okay, we're interested."

"Excellent, come, follow me." Lex said, Anderson and the others wryly followed their leader out the door with Lex.

While walking Gideon poked Kane in the ribs, "Yeah I don't like it either, but do want to stay alive? Than just do as this guys says."

"No not that." Gideon said.

"Than what?"

"Where's Pitsy?"
