Car's Burgers & Co.


"Aright everyone pack up before close up" the manager shouted.

"He's at it again" a short black haired women in a blue waitress outfit frown. "I hate this job"

"You got that right" another women in her late teens responded. She wore a blue waitress outfit set, her red hair cut short that it went down just a few inches from her ears matching with her light brown eyes.

"Honestly Vic. I just want to make enough money to ditch this junk"

Vic shrugged. "Come on let's pack up and go home, James"

James sighed as she began to take pack.


Few minutes later...

"Alright see you later, Vic" James waved getting into her car.

Vic nodded as she made her way down the street. Watching as James drove by

her and headed into Star City.

Vic took her time getting home. Admiring the beautiful night, the wind beginning to grow blowing leaves and trash in the streets. She continue to walk down the block until she came across a limo parked down the road. Vic's eyes narrowed, taking her time, sense on full alert.

As she got closer to the limo a bald man in a fancy suit got off.

Vic stopped once she was a few feet away from him. "Who are you?"

The bald man smirked. "Victory Brooks"

Victory aka Vic frowned. "What do you want?"

"Lex Luther." The bald man responded as he open the door to the limo. "Why don't we go for a ride."

"Sorry but I don't like getting into a stranger's car even if it's a limo" Vic replied.

Lex Luther smirked. "All I want is offer you a better job"

Vic shook that head. "Am done. I don't do that anymore"

Lex Luther walked up her. "I know that your not into that business anymore and quite frankly I'm surprised that your still alive. It took me a while tracking you down since you done a marvelous job of covering up your tracks."

"Sorry Mr. Luther. But beat it" Vic hissed. "I told you I don't do that anymore. I have no interest of your money so you can go to hell"

Lex Luther was not surprised by her responds and if he was he was hiding it very well. Lex Luther reach her his pocket as he slowing pulled out a card and offered it to her. "Here is my personal number. Once you changed your mind, don't forget that my offer still stands."

Vic snatched the card from his hand. "Alright then but don't get your hopes up. Now leave me alone"

Lex Luther nodded before he got back inside his limo and drove away.


Star City

Brooks's residents

Vic sighed heavy as she entered her house.

"That bad was it" A red head boy greeted her.

Vic smiled as soon as she heard him. "Good to see you too Johnny"

Johnny grinned. "Mom and pops are already here. We're about to have dinner."

Vic nodded heading up the stairs of the house. Vic took and quick shower before heading back down where her family were waiting for her.

"About time kido, dinner is getting cold" a man joked.

"John leave Victory alone" a women laughed.

A small laughed escaped Vic's lips watching as her adoptive parents joked around.

"So how was work. Has your boss been giving any trouble lately" her father asked.

Vic shrugged. "Same old. Same old. I don't hate more but I also don't like him more"

John chuckled. "I hear you. I remember my first boss Mr. Bones was a total as******"

"John!" Her mother glared. "Not in front of the kids!"

"Come on lily. Vic is grown women and Johnny is a growing boy. He is going to hear it anyway"

Lily sighed as she returned to the kitchen.

"Smooth pops" Johnny commented.

John shrugged. "I am just lucky your mom is very forgiving or other wise I would have died a single man"

Vic chuckled. "I can't see why"

"Anyway kiddo, wash up. Dinner is in a few minutes" her dad added before heading to the kitchen in hopes of getting a quick snake before dinner.

"Hey, Vic" Johnny whispered. "You got it"

Vic smirked. "Yeah."

Johnny beamed of joy. "Awesome. Give it to me later"

Johnny went to the living to catch up what ever he was doing in the living. Leaving Vic alone to walk up the stairs and into her room.


Late that night...

"Hey, Vic you awake" Johnny whispered as he slowly open the door to Vic's room.

"Yeah"

Johnny grinned as he entered the room. Vic was already up with her wallet in her hand. Johnny closed the room behind him, hands out.

Vic smirked taking out a piece of paper from her wallet. "Remember she like roses. Pink ones. Don't scare her off by overspending. She also like country music. The rest is here."

Vic handed him he paper.

"Awesome Vic your the best" Johnny rejoiced punching the air in excitement. "Macy Courtney, is finally going to notice me"

Vic softy laughed. "Don't hurt yourself. Remember what I taught you if you want to win her heart"

Johnny nodded. "I..."

Vic frown for a second Johnny was frozen in place before falling to the floor trembling viciously.

"Johnny" Vic scream kneeling down beside her brother as he continued to tremble. "MOM! DAD!"

Vic tried to hold his head but he keep twisting and turning, moving uncontrollably. "MOM! DAD!"

Heavy foot steps were heard as her parents barged in.

"Kiddo! What..." Her father noticed Johnny trembling on the floor like a fish out of water with Victory doing her best to stubltain him. Lily scream.

John quickly ran to Vic side. "Place him on his side quick!

He looked up to find his wide frozen in fear. "Lily!"

His shouts manage to get his wife out of state of shock. Holding her arms close to her chest, eyes widen in fear.

"Call the ambulance!"

After a few second, Lily did as she was told. Running out of the room and on the phone.

John looked down to his son. Who had stop trembling. "Victory, help me get him on your bed"

Vic nodded. Grabbing her brothers legs slowly while her father grabbed Johnny's upper body and placed Johnny's body by his side.

"Make him as comfortable as you can" John instructed.

Vic did as she was told, following every instruction she was given like losing her brother's clothing, clearing any saliva that he might have carefully with her finger.


Few minutes later, the ambulance came...

Few hours later...

Metropolis Hospital

"Family of a Johnny Brooks Jr." The doctor called.

"Here" John Brook answered since his wife was still in shook while their daughter Victory comforted her. "I'm his father, Johnny Brooks Sr."

Doctor looked down at his clipboards. "I'm afraid your son just experience his first seizure"

"First" Lily hinted.

Doctor sighed as he prepared for the worst. "We were able to do some studies on your son, on what could have caused him to have a seizure. A boy his age is rare but their are case where they do occur"

"What are you saying" John asked. "Is he going to have more"

The doctor nodded. "There is a possibility Mr and Mrs. Brooks. I'm afraid to tell you that their is a possibility that your son has a brain tumor which could have caused his seizure. You son is healthy but there is abnormal activities going in your son's brain. We need to do more studies to make sure, so will need your permission to proceed"

"Of course, do what you can but save my son" John responded without any hesitation.

Vic hugged her mother as she began to cry in her arms. John himself in the verge of tears.


Few days later...

Brooks' residents

"What are we going to do, John" Lily cried as she sat across her husband in the family dinner table. "We can't afford this"

John sighed. Grabbing his wife's hand and gently squeezing comfort her.

"We will make it work, Lily. I will asked for a raise or something. I could get another job but we aren't losing him"

Unaware to them, Victory watched behind the bars of the stairs. Easy giving her a good view of the dinning room. Having heard enough Vic went to her room, closing the door behind her.

It was very rare for Victory to cry. She hadn't cried since she was 8 years old when her real parents had died. Vic hugged her pillow slowly letting the tears fall for a moment.

That when Vic noticed the card. The card that lex Luther had given her weeks ago. He offered her a job. Job equals money.

Money that she needed. Vic hesitated as she reached for the card. She had promised herself that she was done. She was never going back to her old life. She finally had a home with a family who loved her.

But with her brother in the hospital with a brain tumor, she made a exception. This was only one job right. One more and she would be done.

Vic wiped her tears, grabbed her phone and dialed the number. The phone ringed a couple of times before someone answered.

"Miss Brooks. You lasted more then I thought you would."

"Shut up. Now what is the job" Vic hissed not really in the mood for his games.

"Meet me we first meet" Lex Luther replied before hanging up.


Next Day...

"Alright I'm here. What is the job"

Lex Luther smirked handing her a folder. "Here is your job"

Vic took the folder and open it. She frown once she saw that they were documents to three boys, though their were no images but information of three boys including age. "What is this!?"

"Your job Miss Brooks is to take care of these three boys for me"

Vic frown. "I am not a baby sister"

"I am very well aware of that Miss Brooks but considering your formal occupation. That makes you a perfect candidate"

"What I did back then isn't a single inch similar to being a baby sitter"

Lex Luther shook his head. "If you read further. You will see that you are noted to being the three boy's guardian."

Vic raised her eye brow. "Do you know that I'm just 21 years old. I barely manage to sustain myself. How do you expect me to watch over three boys. How are they any way?"

"They are my sons and like you they have special gifts that enable them to do things that no regular people can"

"Why don't you get a normal baby sister or just do it yourself? Vic asked.

"I am a busy man Miss Brooks, your well aware that as a business man I have many enemies that will uses my sons to get to me. That where you come in. Your job is to raise the boys like any loving guardian. Keep them safe"

"Why do expect that I would accept any way?"

Lex Luther smirked. "Because your here tells me that you are desperate. I will help you with your issue and you help with mine. I have all the arrangements in order. You and the boys will be living in a house in Star City. A bank account in your name is already set, use money to take care of your needs and the boy's "

Vic frown. "You must be desperate if you want someone with my skills to take care of them."

Lex Luther smirked. "Not desperate just prepared. I will most likely make enemies and how better to protect my treasure then someone of your worth."

"When do I start?"

"Two days from now. I am sure you must be prepared because once you take this job your never ever leaving." Lex Luther added before he got inside his limo, driving away. Leaving Vic alone with nothing but a file in her hands, wondering if she just made a deal with the devil.
