 Larfleeze couldn't take it anymore. Hugging his lantern against him in one arm, he stretched his other arm out and summoned a small group of his lanterns. He then created a large energy bag and began grabbing handfulls of the shinies and dumping them into his bag. The lanterns he summoned each grabbed as much as they could hold and zipped back to him to dump them into the bag.

(OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH, that does it......)
Some of the Doombots managed to report to their master just before Larfleeze's constructs stuffed them and their loot into bags.
......
Doom was not pleased.
As Larfleeze's avarice gained Dr. Doom's attention, the Latverian dicator had enough of Agent Orange's insolence. Doom strode out of the throne room with a simple statement, "Excuse me. There is a matter that demands my imediate attention."
Doom strode into one of the treasury room that Larfleeze was looting, "What the Devil do you think you are doing to my home!?!?!? Stop immediately and return what you have taken, thief!!!"

Apex played it cool as Doom passed, as the latter seemed to not have noticed him-- but if the Latverian monarch turned his attention to him, the younger male would be ready for anything.
"Oh, uhtet!" Elasa exclaimed, before she zoomed out of the room with a "Please don't start killing each other while I'm gone" look on her face and flew beside Doom.
"Sir, you'll have to forgive Larfleeze-- his ring, it causes him an insatiable greed and hunger-- he lusts after everything in his reach--" she tried to explain over the racket Larfleeze was making.

The orange lanterns spun around as Doom entered the room and stared at the iron man. One of the rounder constructs squeaked out an "uh-oh", while the others grinned and took on an aggressive stance.
"These are MINE now!" Larfleeze hissed, hugging the bag possessively against him. Then he spotted the blue lantern and pointed at her. "SHE brought us all here! She brought me to a place full of bran new shiny things that I don't have and dangled them in my face. I get what I want, and I want them. ALL of them. I'd take your great big stone house if I could move it to my planet. And your armor outfit. I want one. No, two of them. Put them together and make a bigger one." If he was in any kind of danger, Larfleeze was oblivious to it at the moment. As long as his constructs were still in tact, and he was in a room full of things he didn't have, then by gosh he was going to get what he wanted.

Doom's fury grew.... That was the last straw.
"In a word.... no, you orange gibbering baboon!!" Dr. Doom swiftly drew a tech gun of some kind, locked on to Larfleeze's lifeform and fired. The cascading colors washed over Agent Orange, breaking him down in basic molecules. Then the ray was reabsorbed into Doom technological terror in the form of a pistol -- which had just fully absorbed Larfleeze, his ring and his lantern.

Elasa's jaw dropped. What was that sorcery she had just witnessed?!
"Please Dr. Doom, I beg you, let him out! We need him to help us combat Nekron! Without the Orange Light, the Emotional Spectrum cannot be fully represented!" Elasa said, hopping from foot to foot while pulling at her long purple hair.
"M-my aura can quell his hunger and greed, but it only lasts so long as he is close to me! He wandered off and it came back! Please, your highness, I beg you..."

Slowly, Doom's head turned in the direction of Elasa, fury still burned clearly in his eyes. If his gaze could kill, the Blue Lantern would be ash. Victor von Doom barely contained his growing fury, "That.... thing.... was looting my castle!! Do you really expect me to tolerate such behavior in my own house!?! Perhaps, we should have a chat with the others before we have more accidents of others loosing control. Consequences are dire, Miss. Is that crystal clear!?"

Elasa's lips trembled and she had an urge to cry-- she had never been yelled at like this before. She backed away from Doom, truly frightened, and a few tears rolled down her cheeks as she attempted to stutter a response. She couldn't make anything other than a few garbled gasps and sobs, though, as she looked at the monarch.

This is a great defender of the universe.... Wonderful, Doom's gaze still held Elasa, while he holstered his Molecular Displacer. Victor sighed and motioned toward the throne room, "Let's... go back before anyone else decides to dismantle my home."

Still somewhat frightened, Elasa slowly followed Doom, keeping her distance as she tried to calm herself. She hastily wiped her eyes and tried her best to not look like she had just gotten the crap scared out of her.
Apex, meanwhile, let out a breath as the two left, and he looked to Deathstroke.
"Strange people, Master..." he said softly.

[[[ Enter *a* C.C. from...erm...the original C.C. ]]]
As they were walking, something suddenly wrapped itself around Elasa's feet...keeping a safe distance from her pointed heels. It was a black cat. Rather quietly purring, and rubbing itself along the sides of her legs. It was anybody's guess how the cat had gotten inside the castle. Or why it seemed so friendly after that rather frightening chewing out Doom had given just seconds ago.

Elasa looked down at C.C., curious, and gently picked the feline up. "Hello," she said softly. "What are you? I do not think I've ever seen anything like you before..." She gently patted the cat's head as she walked, looking to Doom nervously. What would he do if he saw the creature?

The cat didn't seem very worried about the metal tyrant noticing him. Instead, he seemed to devote his attention to purring and nuzzling his nose under Elasa's chin.

Elasa smiled appreciatively at the cat, enjoying his soft fur and cold, wet nose against her skin. She gently kissed his nose, and cradled him like one would do a baby.

The cat purred louder and continued to nuzzle against her. It's tail gently flicking back and forth.
