"As far as I know, yeah."

"Mmm" he nodded and started pushing around some of his books, nothing interesting really, all the classics were there, all seemingly brand new.
It was then that Dan heard a click, it wasn't close, but it wasn't far.
He looked up at Rorschach.

Rorschach checked one last time to make sure his grappling gun was ready.

Dan looked around, they weren't coming out the way they came. There were two hallways just getting to Luthor's office.
Footsteps now.
They were in the first hallway now.
He moved toward the window and searched, there had to be something, anythi- "Yes! Megan get over here" there was a small window, as luck would have it and a tiny balcony "I need you to melt the latch, it's rusted shut and if I try to force it, the window might shatter. Quickly."

"Okay..."
She rubbed her hands together, as though the friction would have any effect on the final result, and kindled a little flame on one fingertip.
The footsteps were getting closer. She looked urgently at Dan.
"I've never tried to weld like this before-"

"Megan" he almost yelled "focus god dammit or were going to have to fight what ever is coming through that door!"

"I'm trying!"
In her anger, the flame erupted into white sparks instead.

Well that worked better than he had hoped.
He knew upsetting her usually meant chars in his sweaters.
Quickly the window popped open and he pushed Megan through first, and sent Rorschach out then himself. He called Archie over and the ladder fell out, he began to climb up.

It was then that Lex unlocked his door, a coffee in one hand, his ipod in the other.
He was bobbing his head when he came in, not noticing at first that the rusted window was open and that there was a woman and a-
He looked up to see a tiny man in a trenchcoat hop on a ladder and a woman with large hips start to climb.
"What the fuc-"

Megan looked back over her shoulder one last time, resisted the urge to flip him off, and climbed in.

Lex stared as what looked to be a giant owl flew off in to the sunset.
He laughed and typed something in to his computer that brought up a holographic projections of a keyboard and a monitor. He typed in his password in the air, and four screens appeared in the air.
He typed again and moved a scroll bar down, pictures of multiple odd ships showed up, he stopped on Archie and clicked.
"Nite Owl II, used to work in New York with a Rorschach, but no woman" he frowned "other than Silk Spectre II who passed away quite a while ago" he leaned back "that backside was so familia-" it was then that a huge smile appeared on his face.
The kind of smile, that when you saw Lex give it, you were probably all ready dead.

"That was too close" he breathed out as they headed back toward the flat "too fucking close" he turned to Megan "let's work on exit strategies huh?"

"Maybe reconsider bringing along dead weight next time," Rorschach rasped accusingly.

Dan turned around "Okay that's enough, what did you do? Did you find anything? Did you help us escape? No, so let's cut the crap. We got out of there before anything could happen. He has no proof we were there, so were fine."
