Chapter 10: Reasons Part-2
"An orphanage," Luthor answered begrudgingly. Cory sneered and nodded her head getting closer to the ever so agitated company CEO.
"And what happened to that orphanage Mr. Luthor?" Estell asked standing at Cory's side. Luthor did not like where this was heading, but he had a feeling that if he didn't cooperate he'd be in more trouble than he want. Plus he was so damn tired.
"It was burned down…" He mumbled. Cory sarcastically cupped her hand over her ear, with her face full of mock confusion.
"'Cuse me, I didn't quite catch that dude. Speak up."
Lex gave her a hard, agonizingly weary, glare that tickled her insides, remembering that she was the one who pantsed him. "There was an accident and it was burned down. Cory's eyes narrowed at him and she slapped him in the face with such a hard force his neck cracked. His head slowly turned to face her with a snarl, a red bruise forming on his cheek. Luthor really wished that he weren't strapped to a sculpture for a second so he could show her his power. This midget would tremble at his sight.
"That's a bald-face lie and you know it." She barked, shaking with anger. Estell pushed her back gently and also glared at Luthor.
"We know what you did, Lexis." Estell said without a hint of humor. "We saw it happen." Luthor's eyes bulged open and he stared at them searchingly.
"How, there were no survivors." He was practically shouted at them. Cory looked as if she would hit him again but smiled stiffly.
"We ran away from it. But we stuck around long enough to hear your shitty henchmen call you by name twelve fucking times before they scorched it. You gave them the okay, right?" Cory jabbed him in the face and gazed at him with an insane look of glee. His nose bled as a result. "Huh, big man, killed a bunch of orphans for kicks, eh?" Again she hit him in the face. She raised her arm to punch him again, but Estell caught it, giving her sister a serious look of disapproval and Cory sighed, shaking off her unruffled nerves. "But that's all in the past, now your going to pay, and pay big."
Lex stared at them beside himself, wincing at the pain in his eyes. His face felt like shit now, the little brat knew how to hit. "You already blew up my fucking lab, what else do you want?" The girls giggled as if he had told them the funniest joke in the world.
"Oh, that was just because seeing it on our sacred property pissed us off. You're not off the hook yet, buddy." Estell laughed resting an arm on Cory's shoulder for support.
"Far from it, we're gonna torture you till you shit your pants at every sound and your dreams are plagued with us at you bed-side with knives to your punk-ass throat." Cory stopped a second. "Oh, wait, that may not be a dream…" she chuckled. "Those were kids, Lex, all asleep and now all never waking up. You're gonna regret it for the rest of your miserable, candy-ass life." The two women turned to the ledge of the building. Estell attached a grappling hook to the side of the wall and proceeded down it to the Gem below. "Later, Turd, we'll be seeing ya very soon." With that Cory followed Estell out of sight.
Lex growled at them, dangling butt-ass naked. It was an hour later that an anonymous call was made to the police from a payphone and a mass of police cars and fire-trucks parked around the Daily Planet. News copters and cameras greeted him as he was given a blanket to cover himself. They were like ants, everywhere, getting him from all angles. Louis Lane enthusiastically deemed the title the of the next day newspaper, Blood and Diamond strike again, stripping Luthor of his dignity, with a blown up picture of him in censor bars.
He crumbled the paper into a distorted mass of jumbled newsprint. He despised the duo, loathed them. Lex had ran them through all his search engines, had private investigations, all coming up without results. All that was about them, were their latest extravagances and fan sites. He also checked for the orphanage records that listed it's children but those had also perished in the fire.
Luthor rubbed his bald head and licked dry lips. He was cornered for now until they got arrested and he hated to admit it but he hoped that Batman caught them and gave them a lashing. Okay, so maybe he only hated part of that hope…
"Who said you could fight in my city?" Bruce demanded, giving Wally his patented Bat-glare. Wally shrugged at him, unable to see what the big deal was. "I don't even remember why I let you come in the first place."
"Lax, Bruce, we'll get them later. You know, Joker will try to engage us again in a while."
"I could have had him now if it weren't for you." Bruce growled back. Wally and Dick shared a glance, knowing that even if the Flash hadn't fought along side Batman, the Joker and Harley still would have been sprung by Blood and Diamond. "And those two idiots, I can't find an ounce of their information in the Bat-computer. They just appeared out of no where, its so frustrating."
Dick thought about how Blood sound like Cory that one time. It was crazy, right, his girlfriend wasn't the cause of this. Sure her and Blood liked snapping at people and she was just as sarcastic and odd as the masked fiend, but that was just a coincidence. How bull did he sound right now? His mind was thinking that the two women were connected but his heart was trying to cling to the evaporating hope that his mind was wrong. He sighed and decided that he would find out sooner or later if his detective hunch was correct or not, and boy did he hope it was not.
Rev looked at Cory in the back seat. She was lying across the seat, facing the leather so he could not see her face. He glanced at Estell in the passenger seat beside him. She exhaled through her nose and shook her head. "What's going on?" he asked hesitantly.
"She's mad because she doesn't think we hurt Luthor enough today. But if I ad let her continue we would have had another misunderstanding." Cory's shoulders stiffened and she craned her neck around so that she could glare at Estell.
"I wouldn't have killed him. I specialize in torture, unlike you whom would have sawn him in half if it weren't for your OCD with plans. How many misunderstandings have you had since college, missy?"
"None of which can be proven, but not nearly as many as you have since..." she paused to think. "Was Tim the first or did Carry get knocked off before him?" Cory shrugged her shoulders. Was she supposed to keep track of her piling causality list?
"It wasn't like I didn't try to keep them alive. They were both pretty suicidal…"
Rev closed his eyes for a second taking this in with strain. "You two…have killed before?" Both girls looked at him and nodded. "Nice…" he sighed. What in God's name had prompted to befriend these two nuts? He opened his eyes just enough to catch the form of the girl in front of him. He tried to swerve the car around but hit the female none the less.
Cory and Estell quickly jumped out of the car and ran to the limp woman that lay in the street. She was around their age with light fawn colored hair that came to the mid of her back. She was wearing dark clothes and a duffle bag was grasped tightly in her hands. Cory whistled in surprise. "Let's hope this isn't another misunderstanding…"
