::Snow walks in holding a small package protectively against her chest::
::looks around::
Hmm.. I guess this will have to wait.

Snow White. You're unnecessarily chipper today.
::sits back in the booth and pulls the hood deeper over his head::
You should know, this isn't a very safe place any more.

There's a contract out on your friend Powell's head. And it's well-known that you're a friend of his.
::leans forward, resting his chin on the back of his hand::
That makes you...valuable. Seeing as how you're not exactly combat-ready.

In case you haven't noticed, I am a card-carrying member of Luthor's Injustice International.

oh..
What good would it do to hurt me? I'm of no importance to anyone.

You're a friend of Powell's. Mark my words; the only thing keeping you and your children safe is the fact that Luthor is too smart to piss off your husband.
At least, Luthor is. People like Creed or Bullseye, I can't vouch for.
::reaches into his cloak and pulls out a small piccolo::
In fact, you'd probably be doing Powell a huge favor if you let him know that everyone he loves is probably in danger as long as Luthor has a contract on him.
If you get a chance to tell him. Oh, I probably shouldn't be saying these things at all, but I'm old-school. I'm all about explaining the elaborate plans to the heroes so I can gloat when they can't stop them.

Piper.. I thought you and I were friendly?

Oops, your mistake.
::starts playing the piccolo. All electronics in the Bistro suddenly fuzz out::
That gives us about 5 minutes undisturbed. Tell Powell to stay at Lantern's. He's got a better chance of survival there.

::Snow slowly backs up. The sound of her own heart pounding in her ears::
What makes you think that I would have the opportunity talk to Powell or that he'd even listen to me..? I.. I really think you're overestimating my importance in this whole thing.

::looks up at the non-working security cameras::
Because if I stroll over there and tell him myself, I'll have a broken jaw for my troubles. Something big's coming down the pike, and if Powell doesn't want to be the Nexus's second casualty, he'll stay away from the Bistro. Luthor knows the secret to spilling blood in here...permanently...and he-
::all of the cameras light back up::
Could use a pretty hostage like yourself.
::pokes Snow under the chin with the piccolo::

::Snow slowly puts her hand in the pocket of the coat she's wearing. Silently and carefully, she opens her cell phone and feels around until she finds the redial button. She pushes it, leaving the phone open and slowly removing the hand from the pocket::
I.. I assure you. I wouldn't be a very valuable hostage.
