"The Top Floor"

Continued from [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5309536]here[/url].

[hider=The Story So Far]
A group of individuals from across the Multiverse awoke in a strange glass cage, located at the bottom of a strange facility called "LexCorp". They knew not why they were kidnapped, nor did they know the identity of the man who'd done this to them. All they knew was that they were stuck here, as the cage was impenetrable to even the most powerful of their attacks. Even though tensions are high among the group, it's quickly becoming apparent that the only true way out of this is to work together. At least temporarily.

A few hours had passed since the group had awoken inside of the cage. Many interactions had transpired since then - and miraculously, no one had died. Not even the most volatile of the group, such as Negan. The interactions and small talk had continued during this time, of course. After all... what else was there to do when kidnapped in a place like this?

Well, eventually, the woman from before had returned. Only this time, she was on ground level, and sporting a different outfit than before.

Her disappointed looking scowl stared right into the cage. It focused on no individual solely - rather, it seemed to wash over the group as a whole. Like a very uncomfortable blanket. In her hand, she seemed to be holding a remote of sorts. It only had a single button on it.

[color=003471][b]"Mister Luthor will see you now."[/b][/color]

And then, the button was pressed, and the door slid open.

[color=9e0b0f][b]"About fuckin' time!"[/b][/color] Negan exclaimed, being the first one to exit the cage. His bat was firmly grasped in his hand, as always. And of course, she was located right there on his shoulder. Because where else would she be? [color=9e0b0f][b]"I was beginnin' to think you up and... forgot about us."[/b][/color] the man smirked as he passed the harsh-looking woman. She didn't respond, although she did sneer slightly at the remark.

Joel stood there and watched for a moment, taking a moment to process everything. He'd taken All Might's words into consideration - perhaps a bit too much. He hadn't had time to respond before this happened, but he very clearly didn't [i]not[/i] believe him. As the woman led the way, Joel nodded to both Tess and All Might, before glancing down toward Sarah. 

[color=a0410d][b]"C'mon. Let's go."[/b][/color] Joel said as he began to walk out, his daughter's hand in his all the while. 

The rest of the group was promptly escorted into a rather spacious elevator. Despite the size of the group, everyone managed to fit rather easily. The woman said nothing on the way up... making this whole thing a bit awkward. But, still, at least you were out, right? 

It took a few moments, but eventually you reached the top floor, as the elevator slid open with a [b][i]DING![/i][/b]

The office was pretty fancy - and filled to the brim with trinkets and expensive furniture alike. A bright and clear sunny sky could be seen from the large window in front of you, a stark contrast to the grimy underground facility that you'd just been in. Said sun happened to be shining into the room itself, right down towards a bald man, who sat at a large desk across from where you all stood.

[color=1a7b30][b]"Greetings,"[/b][/color] the man spoke. His voice was almost sickeningly smooth and calm. His posture was relaxed as he leaned against his desk, fingers interlocked and elbows resting out in front of him. [color=1a7b30][b]"I am Lex Luthor. Please, make yourselves comfortable. We have a lot to go over."[/b][/color]
