Okay here is chapter 2, i enjoyed writing it :) The story gets deeper and Manchester is a fictional place that the Impulse of the comicverse lived in.
All characters and stuff belong to DC comics, okay cool
Sure enough Ollie found the kid downstairs in the entrance lobby, chest puffed out, eating a cookie and in deep conversation with that new receptionist whos name Ollie couldn't for the life of him remember, he hadn't really been paying much attention when they'd met.
"Excuse me miss, can I borrow my young friend here?" He didn't wait for a reply as slung an arm over Barts shoulder and began to steer him in the direction of the elevator on the left of the lobby.
As soon as they entered the elevator and Ollie was sure they were alone and no one could hear them he said
"Seriously kid, what are you doing here? I said keep a low profile, limited contact, spend your weekdays enjoying being a teenager, hang with people your own age, have house parties, go to school, y'know normal things a 16 year old should be doing…"
"Boss-man I'm not normal and the kids in 'chester are seriously weird, why can't I move back here, or go to Miami with AC…"
"Bart, we've talked about this," His voice was deadly serious "Lex knows who you are and if he realises your connection to be is more than just business related, it puts both you and me at greater risks, if Lex finds out about my alter ego it puts everyone I love in danger, Lois, Clark, Chloe. Kid, you're like a little brother to me and if Lex knew that he would be even more determined to hunt you down, to get you and hurt you because he'd know it would devastate me and I won't let that happen."
Bart was shell shocked "Wow man that was deep"
"Yeah, I surprise even myself sometimes" he said with a grin "but seriously kid, d'you get why it's best for you to stay in Manchester…for now anyway?" He asked as the elevator came to a stop and they got off at Oliver's private floor.
"I guess so bro" he replied with a shrug "'chester still sucks, but I'll stick it out…for now anyway" he smirked.
"Anyway, I got half an hour before another meeting, you wanna play Call of Duty?" Ollie asked
"Sure man and I'm gonna totally kick your ass" Bart sped over to the Xbox on the other side of the room and was already setting it up before Ollie had even blinked, man he didn't think he's ever get used to the kids speed.
Meanwhile, in the entrance lobby of the same building a seemingly normal receptionist, reasonably attractive, whose face could blend unnoticeably into a crowd of people, replayed an audio message of the entire conversation that had just taken place in the elevator. She then sent the file to an untraceable IP address in a large warehouse at an unknown location somewhere in South America.
A shady figure surrounded by armed men, listened again to the message, in front of him a large computer screen showing CCTV images of Bart and Oliver.
"Interesting, thank you my dear, the bug you planted on Mr Allen has given me more than I could have anticipated" the figure said with a small smile "Now Miss Montoya, as you are aware you have breached Queen Industries security and Mr Queen himself is soon going to connect the dots, so it is time for you to leave, there is a car waiting for you outside"
"Of course sir" the receptionist replied as she gathered her things and walked straight out the front entrance, blending into the crowd around her.
Elsewhere Ollie had just been shot again, when he received an urgent phone call from his head of cyber security Alvin Draper- otherwise known as Victor Stone to his close friends.
"What do you mean a security breach?" Ollie asked impatiently
There's a bug, in the room, I think it's on Bart, this is bad Ollie
"What're you sayin' Vic?"
I'm saying someone heard your entire conversation, everything you've said in the next 10 minutes, it was recorded in the building and then sent to an unknown location, I'm trying to track it but it's pretty much untraceable, whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing, professionals, with money
"Is the bug still active?" Olli asked as he ran a stressed hand through his hair
No, I'm blocking the system, but you should still find it, bring it to me to analyse
"Okay, I'll er…the receptionist! She's the only person the kid's been in close contact with in the building, it was her! Damit! Vic, go over the security footage, find her records, I want to know who she was talking to and who the hell she is and let me guess, she's already left the building right?"
Afraid so Boss, walked out the front door 5 minutes ago and disappeared, who do you thinks' responsible for this Ollie?
"Five guesses at who's got the resources and the reasons"
Lex.
"Yeah, Lex, I'll keep Bart here with me for now, we'll be safe in the building, get here ASAP Vic" Ollie was clearly worked up when he closed the call.
"Lex? What about Lex, whatsgoingonOllie" Bart had sped over and looked concerned
"That was Vic, the receptionist, she bugged you, someone heard our whole conversation…"
"And you think it was Lex? Shit man, what're we gonna do?" he began to tap his foot up and down rapidbly
"Calm down kid, we'll wait for Vic and then work this whole thing out, did the girl at reception touch you at all?"
"Hu, what, wait yeah, when we left she touched my arm" Bart felt the area above his left elbow and found a small metal device barley a cm in width and length stuck to his hoodie.
"Shit."
Meanwhile back in the mysterious warehouse, the shady figure listened to the footage a third time and then without turning away from the screen said "Mishkin, get me Lex Luthor on the line"
"Right away Mr Thawne"
So that was chapter 2, let me know what you think, thanks :D
