Oh lawd. Even before I read it, the instant you said "contract signing," I knew it was gonna end in mayhem. So saying this as someone who hasn't read it yet... the odds that someone's going through the table at the signing? About 125

I have actually been saving the Cake Rule for an epigraph at some point! If I can just find a scene where I can work in a plausible cake...well, at the very least there will be a faux-wedding one day, I do know that! I absolutely love the incredibly obvious setups in wrestling--yes, let us put a bunch of tables around, nothing will come of that...

Man, Jack has got to be PISSED that Harvey and Clark got to bust out the Marx Brothers line *with him in the ring*!

Good point! I imagine a rankling growing hatred of anyone else who actually gets a chance to be funny in the ring and gets an actual laugh for it...

Did you know that the kid who DiBiase actually made kiss his foot on television that one time grew up to be Rob Van Dam? Interesting coincidence.I--I don't think I knew that, but it is a thing of

*grins*

Lovin' the Marx Brothers reference! :)

The Lex and Bruce relationship is always interesting. They're both geniuses and in certain incarnations, Lex grew up rich (in others he didn't) so they understand that part of life (silver spoon). And when Lex made his money later in life it was with wits and extreme sneakiness! ;)

The Tim Burton bit for Selina: hilarious! :)

Lex + Bruce has become one of the most interesting things to write here, especially as viewed through Clark's (not entirely knowledgeable) eyes! They do have so much in common, especially in a world where Lex isn't a killer and Bruce isn't actually a vigilante. :)

I love Burton's Selina, I admit it! It makes me happy to imagine her prancing around in her patched leather...

Harvey: Well, in this part, the party of the first part shall be known as the party of the first part.

Clark: I don't like that part.

Harvey: *starts tearing bits off the contract*

My day is made with that reference :D

Hee, I knew you would get that one! It made me giggle to write... :)

"Maybe you're the leak," Clark said.
He'd meant to sound joking, but Queen looked horrified. "Hey, the whole Robin Hood thing is just a gimmick," he said, raising his hands in the air. "Don't talk shit like that." He actually looked around to make sure no one was listening.
:lol Poor Oliver. :).

"Fine," said Bruce, mock-aggrieved. "I'll just keep my clever deductions to myself, then. No, don't beg me to tell you, it will avail you nothing."
:D :D

Oh, don't play innocent with me," he said as Bruce threw up his hands and looked shocked. "I know perfectly well you're the ringleader of this sorry little bunch. The rest of them don't have enough brains between them to come up with something like this, but you…" His eyes narrowed, "You are smarter than you act, Billionaire Brucie."
Oow…

Only Clark seemed unconvinced. "I don't like it," he said, glaring down at his contract. "I don't want to leave Brucie behind. We're finally kind of friends, and I just…"
AWWW Clark!

He nodded sagely at the dumbfounded Harvey and explained in a loud

Oliver is terrified someone might take him too seriously, lol!

*grin* I've run into some problems writing things here because it can get hard to tell what's kayfabe and what's not sometimes! I guess that's part of the fun of the genre, but it can be a challenge--I try to always use "Brucie" when it's not really Bruce, but sometimes the line is a little difficult!

Such a fun chapter - I loved the whole gimmick and especially Lex getting thrown through the table.

Who could NOT love Lex Luthor getting slammed through a table!? It was a joy to write, that's for sure...
