What do bad girls get?
The bill
"Roulette!"
"I should've known you'd be involved in this somehow, you just moved your cages from Slavers Moon to National City." Kara zoomes out of the cage and over to Roulette, who is wearing her trademark red dress, cut-outs and splits showing of the snake tattoo winding it's way from her left leg up and around to her shoulders.
Looking at Supergirl with disdain, Roulette points over at the un-gagged woman "My little pet over there is one of the most feared trial lawyers on this coast, and she has seen all the paperwork involved in both the... misunderstanding with the fight club and setting up this club right here. You may inform her of the status of both."
"Yes Mistress, as aliens weren't really legally people until the Alien Amnesty Act, anything before than is at worst livestock related crimes, and since no one wanted the optics of that right after the signing of the AAA they were more than happy to make the charges go away. This club is legally owned by a consortium of like minded individuals and it's day to day operations are being run by Mistress Sinclair."
"Optics! People, sentient beings died in that club, and while some agreed to fight for money, many were ****!
Slavers moon though, that was all humans, Americans, no way they'd let you just slither out of that!"
Her smile as she peers down at Supergirl has no warmth and her voice turns mocking as she pats her head "Oh ye of too much faith, of course there was no problem from that, how could there be, as no crime was committed on Earth, or even in this solar system"
"As Mistress pointed out, she was acquitted of all involvement in the heinous kidnappings that did indeed happen here in National City, and anything on Slavers moon was so far out of anyone's jurisdiction you'd have more luck asking Yoda for help than the NCPD. Since then, Mistress has been a model citizen and has helped renovate this dilapidated ara of the docks into the thriving hub of night life it is now."
Kara scowls at the still caged lawyer "I've heard about keeping lawyers on retainers, but keeping them in cages seems, well, I guess it does seem like your style Roulette. Don't think I won't check up on your claims with Al.. Agents I work with and if there's as much as an i that wasn't dotted, I'm coming for you!"
"Oh are you?" Roulette lightly pokes Kara in the diamond shaped S on her chest "While that symbol is universally known, it does not confer any kind of powers or jurisdiction on you, and with the acts of wanton destruction you've already done plus this clear sign of continued harassment I like my chances in any legal confrontation. Pet, what do you think would happen if this little conflict reached the courts?"
"Oh you'd cream her, exactly how much depends on who would be presiding, and since you'd have me as your lawyer, my firm would make sure it ended up being Judge Wainwright, who does enjoy making examples out of anyone abusing their powers, legal powers or physical powers. There would be a big sum to pay regardless of who presided, but with Wainwright there would be some examples being made too, I wouldn't be surprised if Supergirl would end up incarcerated for a bit."
Roulette's smile turns, if possible, even more predatory as she places a hand on Kara's shoulder and leans in a little "Now, it would be just terrible for this wonderful city I have made a home in if their darling protector was the end up jailed for an out of control rampage in a bondage establishment, and I think we can both agree that you wouldn't want the US government to pay the expenses for your sex club trips, so no calling in the cavalry to help pay for your recklessness."
"I am fairly sure you can't afford to pay for the damages, especially the emotional damages for the poor lawyers who's intimate moment you barged in on before you started man-handling one of them. Besides, I've always found favors owed by the right people to be worth much more than cash anyway."
'That lawyer sounded to know what she was talking about, shoot, this is so not good!' Backing away from Roulette and shaking her head Kara bends several bars of one of the cages before she notices it was even there "Sorry, I'll just straighten those out... there, good as new, maybe I can just do the same with the rest here, I could have this whole hole fixed in no time and-"
"No!" Looking self satisfied at the flustered hero Roulette didn't let her ramble on "I wan't actual professionals to fix the holes, and my pet will need an actual professional to help her deal with her emotional trauma, so this is really quite simple, you'll do 3 small favors for me, one for each hole and one for the cage, plus another favor for my pet here to make up for what you put her through. If you refuse this generous offer, you'll be dragged through both the courts and the news media, and with some people still thinking it was your attacking the white house, your reputation might never fully recover."
Trying not to freak out thinking about how bad that would be Kara again walks up to Roulette "I won't say yes to any blanket favors without knowing full well what they are first, and I can tell you right now that I won't do anything illegal or that I feel is to general public harm. If you can keep within that, I'll do your darn favors." as she finishes talking, Kara extends her hand to Roulette 'And if she stays true to herself, she'll try to make me do something illegal, and then I'll have Alex nab her and throw her in a cell'
What are the favors Roulette wants from Kara?
