Empire Enterprises had been growing and growing, almost as if it was looking at the technology titans of the east coast with an arrogant smile. Anyone and everyone knew it. Veronica Cale was [i]hungry[/i] and what Lex Luthor had built in Metropolis was only a small glimpse of genuine competition. And in Cale’s mind California was so much more marketable than Delaware. The blonde-haired woman stood in her office in the tallest skyscraper in the city, overlooking the streets below. [color=6F797F]“We’ve come so far. The ceiling hasn’t even been broken yet.”[/color] She mused to herself, holding her hands together as she looked onward at the scene in front of her, the red-haired woman in angelic battle-armor pushing her back against the falling 747 that had lost its engine upon descent toward the city. Lex Luthor was not the only person in the United States that had peaked her interest. Alien gods that fashioned themselves as superheroes were just as intriguing. Though she did not share the fear her contemporaries in the business world held for these “metahumans”. Her mind jumped to fascination. What kind of marvels did they have that could be exploited for the greater good of the business? What kind of technology did they have that could bend to their will? What kind of technology could Veronica’s business partner dissect and turn into the ultimate breakthrough? It was a tantalizing thought. This “Wonder Woman” character could destroy Empire Enterprises or make it the most powerful corporation on the planet. If Veronica wasn’t careful it could be a mistake involving herself with the affairs of a supposed god. But Veronica had always been a woman who knew a good asset when she saw one and knew when the gains outweighed the risks. But manipulating a being like a superheroine of her abilities was going to be a challenge. Perhaps her greatest challenge. She would have to tell her assistant to keep her up-to-date on all news of the red-haired superheroine and the journalist who had named her. [color=6F797F]“I need to know everything about you.”[/color] She uttered, [color=6F797F]“I need to know what you can do.”[/color] A wide smile appeared on the blonde-haired CEO's face. [color=6F797F]“Wonder Woman.”[/color] [/indent]
