Chapter 2
Note - How'd you like Chapter 1? Please tell me if you enjoyed it and review. I'm going to try to complete one chapter each day.
"Wally, can you deliver this to S.T.A.R. Labs?" Another day as a forensics scientist was about to end but of course, the Central City Police Department just happened to need a delivery. "Sure, boss." Wally had a reputation for being a very lighthearted and fun co-worker. However, being in the Justice League had disadvantages, like not being taken seriously. The Justice League, as a whole, viewed the Flash as an immature speedster who counted on his abilities to carry him through missions rather than focus on tactical analysis.
However, the Justice League had a newfound respect after seeing the Flash nearly lose his life to take down the fusion between Lex Luthor and Brainac. Each member in the Justice League had seen the commitment and focus that the Flash had and knew that he may have had a careless attitude, but when they needed him, he could deliver in the clutch. As these thoughts circled his mind, he walked out of the building with a package in hand after saying good-bye to his co-workers.
As he left the building, he popped his ring open, a costume popped out, and three seconds later, he suddenly transformed into the Flash. He raced to the main Central City S.T.A.R. Labs facility and put the package onto the doorsteps. Then he signaled J'onn to teleport him to the Watchtower. But, the signal was jammed. What in the world? Flash tried again but it was also jammed. What was he going to do? It was going to be his turn for Monitor Duty and he would get to relax and sleep for the next few hours.
Meanwhile Professor Zoom had purposely asked both Gorilla Grodd and T.O. Morrow to a private meeting. "What is this about? I have already joined so what do you want from me?" Professor Zoom gave a wicked smile as Grodd's irritation amused him. "Ease up, my friend. I will be giving both of you the opportunity of your lives. Grodd, I want you to become my advisor. You will have authority over every single member of this organization excluding present company, of course. You will lead these villains with me and will be only second to me. You will bear a great responsibility but with it will come great power. All of the manpower, equipment, and intelligence, which you could only dream of, will be available to you. We already have hundreds of henchmen at our disposal and a huge base has already been built for us. You are a criminal mastermind and would be perfect in taking down the Flash. The choice is utterly yours but without your help, it will be difficult to do."
Grodd knew that Professor Zoom was quite intelligent but he definitely wasn't a mastermind. He relied more on his reputation, resources, and abilities rather than his intelligence. Even then, it was much more of a tool to him than a specialty. But to Grodd, intelligence was all that mattered. "I'm in but I need two hundred henchmen, ten thousand dollars, and all your connections. I also want a team named the Omega squad, consisting of the Thinker, the Shade, the Pied Piper, and the Fiddler."
Professor Zoom liked the way Grodd did business. "It's a done deal." Grodd gave a mischievous smile and left the room. "Well, well, I like how you conducted business with a power-hungry gorilla but I won't be as easy. You see, I am also a criminal mastermind but my schemes differ quite a bit." The speedster laughed and said "Yes, I noticed. I have your file. You created several androids in your bid to destroy the Justice League from the inside. Your scientific genius makes you one of the most dangerous scientists in the universe. But you joined our organization for a reason. What do you want?" T.O. Morrow calmly whispered to him a couple words. Professor Zoom smiled. "That can be arranged."
Note - So what is messing with the Flash's signal device? What did T.O. Morrow whisper to Professor Zoom? What is Grodd planning for? Review.
