Lex Luthor was busy.
He was overly busy, this whole taking over the world business could be quite... stressful.
So he'd hired a new girl.
Of course now his office was simply crawling with beautiful light eyed, blond haired women. It wasn't as if he'd planned it, no, it just happened to be that each of the women he had directly employed, all served a certain purpose. His ditzy secretary, was only good for answering the phone and checking her social networking sites on company time, but she kept people entertained while they waited. His Elle, kept him entertained.
And now, Ms. Regina Wilde.
Regina Wilda was the woman who kept him organized and on track.
He'd met her whilst attending a rally for some, whatever the French called their governers. She was the campaign manager, and what she'd thrown together, made this nobody win everything he stood up against.
He decided then and there that he needed her.
It wasn't long however, until she'd figured out him, and it didn't take much to convince her. It seemed, Ms. Wilde was just as hungry for power as he was, of course he watched her like a Hawke, but it seemed, she was just fine doing his bidding... for now.
Speaking outloud "Hey Ditz, can you call Ms. Wilde to my office?"\
"Yes Mr. Luthor."

Gathering up her notepad, Regina headed toward Luthor's office.
She nodded solemnly at his assistant, who in turn stared at her in disgust.
Jealously, a woman's Achilles heel.
Smoothing her skirt, she pushed through the doors.
"Mr. Luthor, you needed to see me?"

"Come in Ms. Wilde, come in" he stood up with a smile.

"What can I do for you sir?"

"You've done so much all ready" he smiled and offered her a seat.

"You're too kind" she sat down, slowly, making sure her clothes sat in just the right spots. She understood Lex Luthor better than he understood himself, he was a man, and a man had eyes.
She wasn't about to be on the other end of those.

"I know" he sat back down in his chair and smirked "how are you settling in?"

"Well, thank you, my office is extraordinary, as is my new flat, a woman can not say no to the Paris skyline" she gave a charming smile, and crossed her legs. "Although the cleaning lady takes a bit of getting used to, how is it that you managed to find a Latin American cleaning woman in Paris?"

"Easier than you might think, but don't thank me, thank Ms. Ditz out there, before you, she was the genius taking care of my business" he rolled his eyes slightly "although not always well. Ask her to get you a coffee, and she'll remember exactly the amount of cream you like, as her to get a contractor set up for a new set of apartments, she'll call two people and forget what's she's doing."

"I'll make sure to thank her on my way out" Regina smirked.
She wouldn't, in fact, she'd throw a list of things she wanted the woman to do, which included picking up her dry cleaning.
"Now please, I've got much to do Mr. Luthor, I was in the middle of setting you up with an interview on 20/20 when you called me in. You've got it of course, but I had to end the conversation early, which is something, as you know, I hate to do."

"Of course" he smiled, and tapped a button on his desk, a large projection screen popped up behind him.
The words 'Operation Taskforce' plastered across it.
"I have an idea."

Regina raised her eyebrows, reading and re-reading the title, but said nothing.

Standing up, the screen flashed to a series of pictures.
"Meta humans" it popped up a picture of Superman, Charles Xavier (and other known mutants), Dr. Manhattan, a woman in a red hood and Captain America "men in suits" Batman, Nite Owl and Iron Man "and they're all here. In this world, in this dimension, and all coming from my own or one that closely resembles mine."
The screen moved again, moving to a slide with pictures of Paris, London and New York "Located in these three cities at this very moment, centering as always on Paris, London has the least activity of course, being that it's, to put it lightly, very, very boring."
Lex picked up his drink and took a sip "Back where I come from, these men and women would have been part of a group, The Justice League" a picture "The Avengers" another picture "The X-Men" no picture, but Xavier's face showed up again "The Watchmen" the last picture "here, they've got no one to unite them."
He smiled "I want to be that man."

Regina watched the slides, her face never once changing as he spoke.
But on the inside.
That was for another time.
"Sir, if I may speak freely-"
