Regina straightened her gloves as she waited in a lobby for a very armed guard to take her up to the cell of a woman she'd never met, never seen, but knew everything about.
She'd also, just posted her bail.
Coughing she looked up as the female guard came in, looking rather grim "You wanna see Cartwright?"
"That is correct mam."
"Why you wanna see her? She's crazy you know."
"Of course she is, she's also my friend, as well as my client, so I'd appreciate it very much if you'd still your tongue" she smiled "I've also, just posted her bail, as you're very much aware, so I'd hope that you'd have her belongings ready when I'm finished speaking to her."
"As you wish" she clicked her tongue and waved her hand for the men in the booth to open the door.
She lead her down a long corridor, before coming in to the woman's cell block. It took a little while before they got to the cell that held the woman she'd come to see.
The guard smacked the cell door "Cartwright, you got a visitor, wake your ass up."
Regina pursed her lips as the guard opened the cell door "Thank you, miss, it'll only be a bit."
The guard gave her a dirty look and told a nearby guard to let them out and escort them to the area that they could check out in.
Regina stepped inside the cell, and didn't see anyone at first "Ms. Cartwright?"

Jenn wasn't sleeping, not really. She just found underneath the beds to be just as comfortable as the beds themselves. If it was one thing that movies got right is that prison cells were built to be barely accommodating and very uncomfortable. She kept asking for extra pillows on a regular basis just to annoy the female guard whom Jenn had been calling Carol this entire time. It wasn't actually the guards name, but Jenn never lets herself be corrected.
She hadn't gotten a single visit since she'd been imprisoned and she kind of expected it that way. She knew no one else here. So when this strange blond woman stepped into her cell, she felt nothing but suspicion and irritation.
"'Miss' is a bit too polite for this situation, don't you think?" Jenn popped her head out from under the bed, her face annoyed. Next followed her entire body, and she sprang up to her feet in a single motion. She ignored the woman and went to the bars yelling out, "CAROL! These beds have fleas and the pillows are filled with sand! What kind of place are you running here?!"

Regina smiled "Jennifer Delores Cartwright, of Vallejo California, the united states of a America. I am Regina Wilde and I'm here, to offer you a job."

Jenn turned her head in Regina's direction, her arms hanging through the bars. She snorted, unimpressed, "Job? Usually you have to send in an application first, and my résumé isn't exactly up to date right now."

"It is for what I need you for" she smiled, and sat down on the uncomfortable prison bed, it wasn't the first time she'd been in a prison and she prayed that it would be the last.
"You're a thief and the best one in Paris I might add, your capture was most in-fortuitous and I'm quite sure that you aren't too happy with the hero that caught you. I'm sure that, if given the chance, you'd bring him down, send him to jail as he sent you. Am I correct in assuming this?"

Jenn turned around, her irritation at being there pretty much palpable, "The jerk got lucky. If I wasn't weighed down by my prize at the time with a bruised ankle I could have gotten away easy." She growled, "I'm not a vindictive person Wild, but I am an opportunist. Let's just say I wouldn't pass the chance if it presented itself."

"What if I told you" her voice lowered "that my employer, is putting together a team and this hero of yours, will be on it, if he accepts. Which knowing his past, he will" she grinned "and when this team, outgrows it's usefulness, my employer, being the man that he is, will have these heroes, shunned and imprisoned."
She recrossed her legs "We want you, to work, for us" she smiled "doing exactly what you do now, just, with, if you pardon my expression, a shit load more money."

Jenn stared at the woman for a long uncomfortable minute, with no visible reaction. Just staring. When finally it seemed as if she wasn't going to respond she smiled, open and warmly, "Ma'am, it would seem you know just the way to get to my heart."
She turned and finally seemed happy (or at least un-irritated), since Regina had stepped in her cell, "I usually don't like working with others, people get tired of me after a while. But this doesn't seem like a bad offer at all."

"You won't have to work with others, only me and my employer, unless needed, you wont even have to deal with these, so called heroes."
She stood up and extended her hand "Then we have a deal?"

Jenn smiled and shook Regina's hand casually, "Then you have a deal. Though I am curious. Who's your employer again?"

She grinned "Lex Luthor."

Jenn's eyes widened, followed closely by her grin, "Old Lex huh? Well I've always been a fan."

Smirking, she put her arm around her shoulder "Aren't we all?"
