Chapter 4 by bigdamnvillain bigdamnvillain

Now what?

Sell her to Lex Luthor

Sure she's beautiful, but daddy's got bills to pay!

You pull out your phone, do a quick search for Lexcorp, and call the number.

"Thank you for calling LexCorp, we make things grow! How may I direct your call?"

It takes 10 minutes of working through phone trees, by which time Wonder Woman is awake: her eyes glassy and confused at first but quickly coming into focus. You hold your breath, hoping the stories about her lasso are true, but a few minutes of struggling at her bonds makes it clear she can't break out of her own lasso! By the time you've talked your way past 2 levels of receptionists, your captive has already stopped struggling at her bonds and is glaring daggers at you.

You're finally put through to a "Ms. Graves" who seems skeptical but asks you a series of questions: tell me what happened, is she there now, describe her condition, etc. But before she's done more than ask you a handful of basic questions, the door is kicked open and a heavily-armed LexCorp strike team forces their way into your office, forcing you to the ground at gunpoint. Wonder Woman goes absolutely nuts trying to escape from her bonds but she's unable to resist as the armed goons grab her and carry her out the door and out of your sight.

You're wondering if you've just made a major mistake, when the lead goon pulls you to your feet and shoves a cell phone in your ear.

"This is Mercy Graves, Mr. Luthor's head of security. This is a secure line, unlike whatever phone you were using. It appears your story is legitimate, and I'd like to congratulate you on your initiative in taking advantage of your situation, as well as in your good judgement in calling us. We'd like to accept your offer, and my strike team is authorized to pay you in cash for services rendered."

Your eyebrows climb up your forehead and try to reach your hairline - they didn't even bother to haggle on the price! You're rich! No more working shit jobs like this! (Probably should've asked for more but that's water under the bridge."

"Initiative and good judgement are a valuable combination," the voice on the phone continues, "Why don't you come in for a job interview tomorrow? Lex Corp can use men like you, and I assure you we can make this one-time payout seem like chump change. What do you say?"

What do you say?
