Chapter 24 - RECRUITMENT (1/2)

”Bruce?!!”, he exclaimed.

”You know me?”,Bruce asked.

”Of course, Bruce Wayne, successful Businessman, multi-billionaire”, he replied, careful not to reveal his secret identity.

”Great..... I think. Anyway, I need to speak with you, something.... uhm.... urgent”, he said.

”No problem”, Barry replied.

”Ahem... In Private??”, he said as his eyes travelled towards Caitlin.

”I'm gonna leave now”,Caitlin said awkwardly, ”I'll see you later honey”.

”Come”, Bruce said and led him towards an empty parking lot.

He pressed a button on a key and then couple of lights lit up as a black Chevrolet came into view. It was sparkling, it had the design of a sports car and was giving the feel of a new car.

”Get in”, Bruce said.

They both got into the car and Bruce drives away. The Car keeps zooming past a number of cars.

During the drive, Barty took the initiative and asked, ”How did you know me. And where are you taking me and why?”

”I'll explain all that's needed when we get to our destination,”he replied and said no more.

”You're quite the weird one. You came with me willingly and showed no sign of fear when I kept driving”, Bruce said as he got out of the car.

”I'm quite used to this kind of situations...you...you know me quite well, don't you?”, Barry asked.

”You could say so.... I did my homework. Come with me”, he said, then he led Barry deeper into the cave. There were a lot of high tech materials, from mechas to guns to armors lying around.

(He's living quite the life. But I wonder why he needs me. A justice league emergency?, that's most likely? )

As he kept walking, he saw a woman with long flowing raven hair and black eyes. She looks quite busty and curvy. She was wearing a shirt and tight jeans which further brought out her figure.

”He's the one?”, she asked, walking towards them.

”Yeah”,Bruce replied.

”Have you told him?”,she answered.

”Figured I'll come see you, then we start.”, Bruce said as he powered up a computer which brought up and video.

”This person you saw in the video, we address him as ”Darkseid”.He is a weapon of mass destruction, causing terror and wreaking havoc wherever he goes. I tried to take him down on my own, but that seems futile”, Bruce said.

”Our strength is not on par with his.... for now. We need capable people who can help bring him down. We did our research and found out that the Flash could help us.”, Diana said.

”So, you want me on your side against Darkseid?”, Barry asked.

”Pretty much what I just said. Don't worry your identity won't be exposed.”,she replied.

”Gimme a day. I gotta ensure the well-being of central city”, he said.
