Oh they had their place, seen and not heard and all that, but Lex preferred them young enough to be in awe of him or actually an adult. Certainly not the age of the annoying blond teen calling himself the Trickster.
Weather Wizard was a much better hostage, though his eyes had spelled out murder for the guard who had snapped his wand. At least he didn't talk enough to warrant gagging, unlike his companion.
“Time to see to the rest of your little group,” Lex said as the elevator reached their floor.
The doors opened and released a cloud of translucent mist. In the lift stood Kid Flash, who was slumping sideways against a man who was presumably Captain Cold by the look of the gun in his hand. Another young man with red hair and a flute was stood next to them, the Pied Piper then.
The Trickster shouted something that got muffled in his gag. Captain Cold's face darkened as he took in the state of his team mates.
“Bravo, gentlemen,” Lex said, “I'm impressed.”
“You've got one warning, Luthor,” Captain Cold said, “Let us walk out or I'll ice you.”
“I'm sure we can come to some sort of deal,” Lex said, “I am a very wealthy man you know.”
“The five of us walk out,” Captain Cold said, “Right now. I'm not dealing with you.”
“Have it your way,” Lex said.
Mercy activated the elevator failsafe. The Pied Piper glanced sharply up, then yelled, “Move!” running for the doors even as the elevator cable snapped. Kid Flash dragged the other two out of the lift with a sudden burst of speed. Behind them the elevator dropped like a stone down the shaft.
Kid Flash slumped against Captain Cold, what little energy he'd saved up now spent. The Pied Piper brought his flute to his lips, but Mercy activated a sonic device which brought him to his knees, moaning and clutching at his ears.
“You'll find I'm holding all the cards,” Lex said, “I can be quite reasonable. I could use resourceful men like yourselves.”
Captain Cold lowered his gun and shot the floor. The ice spread out further than Lex expected, but slippery footing wouldn't help them now.
There was a yelp behind Lex, he spun around to see empty space where the Weather Wizard and the Trickster had been held. The guards were blinking, dazed. Lex turned back to find the Pied Piper missing. Captain Cold was smirking.
“Shoot him!” Lex commanded.
The guards opened fire, but their bullets stopped in mid-air before they reached the intended targets. The bullets dropped to the ground, encased in ice.
“Now that I have your attention,” Captain Cold said, “Stay the fuck out of our city.”
A hand in green reached through the ice at Captain Cold's feet and latched onto his ankle. With a burst of bright light, Captain Cold and Kid Flash were pulled through the looking glass, such as it was.
Lex was pushed to the side by Mercy and the guard behind where he had stood was encased in ice from Captain Cold's parting shot. Lex was furious.
He wasn't going to let them get away with that.
