Secret Society- All in Favour?
===One of many Abandoned Amusement Parks in Gotham====
Snart- This place gives me the creeps
Crane- I wonder why. Is it, perhaps, due to childhood phobia of clowns? Coulrophopia is so very common.
Snart- Did I ask for your diagnosis? I just don't get why we'd have to meet here of all places.
Lex- Because, Mr Snart, I needed a place where we would be undisturbed, as I am under the impression we are no longer able to conduct our meetings in the safety of Kandaq
Adam- You would be right. I can not assist in your schemes any longer Luthor. My duty is to Kandaq and your plan... is a conflict of interest.
Lex- That's unfortunate, however, understandable.
Cheetah- And I suppose the Joker won't mind us using this as our meeting space?
Lex- Oh I'm sure he'll approve. Now, to business. Black Adam already knows this and has voiced his disapproval, but I think it's time you, my council, my legion learned about my end game- what the equipment, the toxins, the recruitment has all been for: We are going to wipe out all life on the planet!
*The Society all turn to face Lex in disbelief*
Kuttler- ...What?
Lex- You see, recently I had an odd experience, you could say it changed me forever. I came to terms with the fact that life is meaningless, that we are fated to die. What was the point, I thought, in going on? There isn't one.
Sivanna- Now, say that this isn't just an elaborate joke, which while fitting considering where we are it would mean that all we have accomplished has been a tremendous waste of time, how are you planning to achieve global annilation?
Lex- Come Thaddeus, I thought you were smart. Did you not wonder why I've had you replicating Stagg's Cloudburst device? We will set off a virus across the planet in several key locations, a quick killing pathogen that will ensure global extinction. A virus, I hope, you can whip up for us professor
Crane- Perhaps... but what of my fear toxin? You don't mean I have been working on it for nothing?
Lex- No, no. We have to test the Cloudburst first- you'll get your city of fear. I hope that satisfies you.
Crane- Yes. I think it would.
Cheetah- I don't care what you do Lex. All I want is Wonder Woman- dead by my hand
Manta- I am of the same mind- Kill this world if you must, so long as Aquaman dies screaming for mercy.
Orm- Careful what you say Manta- that is my brother you speak of
Manta- Silence Atlantean. Tell me Luthor- will the virus affect sea life?
Lex- All life.
Manta- Good.
Cobb- Your problem, the lot of you, is that you take everything so personally. I don't hold a grudge against the Bat for locking me up in Blackgate, or Cluemaster for giving me cancer or you, Kuttler, for defusing my missiles. I have my goals and that is that.
Snart- Says the man who held Gotham hostage for a bit of card.
Cobb- It wasn't just a bit of card-
Bane- This premise of yours is flawed Luthor. I can't see any good in activating a doomsday device
Lex- That's a interesting choice of words Bane. Did you know that the ancient meaning of doom was fate?
Bane- Oh yes, I am quite aware.
Lex- I see that not all of you are sold on the subject. Perhaps we should vote on the matter?
Vertigo- We are going to vote on human extinction? Are you serious?
Lex- Deadly serious. All opposed?
Thawne- I'm torn Luthor, I really am. As much as I love- And I mean love seeing Barry Allen suffer- I can't go through with this- I need to think about the future. My future- you wipe out life now and it could be that I never existed. It's a risk I can't take.
Bane- In a way, I'm disappointed. Genocide was your masterplan? I'm out.
Kuttler- Agreed.
Slade- Likewise. I'm a mercenary Luthor. A soldier- you kill everyone- there's nothing left for me.
Snart- The Rogues would never go through with this. I'm out.
Vertigo- So am I.
Adam- As I've said- Kandaq comes first.
Orm- Killing Atlanteans and Surface-Dwellers in one fell swoop? That, is a delusion of a madman. Nothing more.
Lex- Then- All in favour?
Manta- So long as Aquaman dies...
M'ala- ...The Manhunter burns...
Cheetah- ...The Amazons are butchered
Grodd- ...Apekind is destroyed and the Flash with them...
Manta- Well then you have our support.
Snart- Did you rehearse that?
Cobb- All of humanity. Gone. Can't say I'm not intrigued...
Crane- All I want is a city of fear. If you can give me that, then you have my support
Sinestro- Yes. Earth shall become an example to other worlds- It is the only way to ensure true order in the universe.
Lex- And you, Sivanna?
Sivanna- To hold in my hand, the means to destroy all life, to have that immeasurable power... yes... yes. My vote belongs to you Luthor.
Vertigo- Then we have a stalemate? That is, if you're not voting
Lex- Correct. That's why I brought in someone else to provide casting vote
Joker- I chose door number three! Failing that- kill everyone! Ahahahaha!
