*Leans against a free space of wall and looks to Piper.* You can trust me, Piper.
*Sighs lightly and looks Piper in the eye.* I was trying to find out if your theory had any substance to it. So I was trying to provoke him into confrontation.
*She shrugs.* All killers have something to tick, I was trying to find out whose heart he ripped out and at the same time get information. I'm still trying to figure out how to manipulate him the right way to get what information I want.
I'm hard to sniff out. Nothing can read me by scent or sight. At least nothing that I have yet to meet.... So... he didn't pick up that I was lying.

::relaxes a bit::
I'm sorry, it's just that the last thing we need is another person tainted by a love ring or a greed ring or anything else that's going to make this all even more complicated than it already is.
You see....I think I have a plan to save Powell.

Well, I can truthfully say I'm not in love with killing......
*Runs her hand through her hair.* And no intention of getting a, Lantern whatever the flavor, ring.
*Tilts her head at Piper curiously.* What are you thinking?

::hunches over his soundboard as he explains his plan::
What's kept Powell alive so far is two things: One, the villains are so distracted they haven't tried to make a concerted effort all together, and two, Lantern's defenses.
What I think I can do is create such a huge disruption here that it scatters the villains. It might even prompt Snow White's team of do-gooders to get their act together and wipe the floor once the dust settles.
::he opens a notebook and shows Chastity his notes::
Larfleeze, the Orange Lantern has been caching away various things somewhere here in the Nexus, including Achilles' armor. Achilles wants it back, and has hired me to steal it.
If I can pull that off, Larfleeze is gonna lose it. He'll tear II apart himself, scattering everyone here. The building's already got a giant Black Alice-shaped hole in the side. An angry Lantern will bring the whole building down around our ears. By now, Powell has to have my key card. He can sneak in here and take out Luthor one on one.
Then all you and I need to do is camp out at Lantern's under a nice green shield of protection while the Supermans and the Squirrel Girls finish routing all the scum that live here.
Here's the thing....I need you to tip off Batwoman. I overdid it with Snow today and I don't think she's going to listen to me any more.

Yeah, Black Alice was trying to get me to team up with her earlier. I gave her a phantom cell number I picked up on a trip home.
*Pauses as she listens to Piper. Her eyes moving over Piper's notes.*
Hmm... I could start a fight with Kate the next time I see her and set up a meeting with her. That way we're not leaving a paper trail for this.
Any other information Kate may need for us to pull this off?

Well, I have a few notes here and there. We can go over them tonight and then start putting things in motion tomorrow.
::points to the coffeepot in the corner of the studio::
Pour a cup; it's going to be a long night.

*glides into the building, promptly making his way to his office. Hops off his glider and flips open his laptop, sending an e-mail to Lex.*
It has only struck me just now that you and I have yet to have a face-to-face since your returns to the nexus. Not surprising, since we're both busy men. Regardless, let me know next time you have an opening in your schedule. I want to talk more about this "mutually beneficial relationship" you brought up during our last exchange.
*sends and flips his laptop shut. Proceeds to hop back on his glider and travel to his labs, where a variety of potent chemicals sit on his workbench.*

Sure.. I'm up to listening to every, Piper. Though I don't know if Kate will agree to any of it.
*Glances over at the coffee pot.* Nah. I caught some sleep through the day at an old friends place, back home. Just let me grab some..... food and we can start.

*Tosses and turns in bed before finally giving up and reaching down to pick up her diary.*
Dear Diary,
You know how you turn on the TV and everyone's talking about how great sex is? This is probably going to sound dumb coming from a virgin, but I think I found something better. I was in the dive bar again, minding my own business when DOCTOR STRANGE shows up, like the most powerful mortal EVER. He's just sitting there like he doesn't even know what's up and he didn't. So of course I get this "I'm your dad and you are not going to do that" look from Captain Marvel, so I just had to do it and oh my gods.
The power! All of my nerve endings just went white hot, I can't even describe the rush. I've nabbed the Spectre before, who I think is still totally the top of the top, but you don't feel anything like that, the awareness just overpowers you. I can't wait to see him again. Giggle.

: biggrin ecides to take a friendly stroll though Injustice International today, to see if everyone is all right after yesterday's 'large girl lets herself out' incident::
::Whistles as he strolls through the hallways, various rats filtering in and out of the air ducts to say hello::

*Lex sits behind his desk. Then spins his chair around to scowl at the window.*
I cannot believe the audacity of that stupid woman. Thoug not one person supports her plan, Snow White STILL plans to dictate the comings and goings of everyone in the Nexus.
And yet Carnage accuses ME of being a fascist . . .

*The door opens. A mini drone flies out and scans Piper, then continues on its way to perfomr a security sweep.*
Part of my new security plan. 2 new flyiong drones per floor to scan for activity. Independent capacity to attack intruders. Particularly teleporters.
What can I do for you?

Veeery impressive, Lexie. I'm just checking in, you know, chew the fat, butter up the boss. I was wondering when repairs are going to be done to that giant-sized, girl-shaped hole on the west side. My roomie is sensitive to sun and right now there's this giant left-leg outline wafting sunlight in front of my studio suite.
