Pepper Pots looked at the File that Tony had found in the last Hydra Base. It had been the Base were Ultron had built his Army and the Generator to lift an entire City into the Sky. The Avengers had been able to take him down and to evacuate the Citizen before the Thor and Iron Man destroyed the City and save the World. The Justice League hadn’t send any help in this Battle. Most of them had fought in Metropolis against a Villain named Brainiac. This one had been strong enough to fight the most powerful members of the JLA. But nothing of this concerned her as much as this File in front of her. It was something that Tony hadn’t looked at. It was nothing about Weapons and his Tec and so it didn’t concern him. But she was running his entire Company and so she looked at other things then him. And what he had found was maybe even more dangerous than a dozen Ultron. She had found the Proof that someone inside Hydra had infiltrated one of the Companies that were run Heroes. This meant that Stark Industries, the Fantastic Corp, Luthor Enterprise, Ferris Airways and other Companies were in great danger. But her talk with Tony had ended like always. He didn’t care about the Company and so it was on her to do something.
She had send Mails to the only Persons she could still trust inside the different Companies. The CEOs. With some of them she had worked together quite often, but some of them were unknown Members for her. Led Luthor was one of this unknown Men. She knew he was one of the major Players and since Stark Technology had left the Military Sector Led Corp. was the biggest Producer of high tech Weapons and advanced Warfare. But Tony hadn’t worked much with him because he didn’t like him very much. Pepper on the other Hand wished from time to time that Tony would have been more like Led. He ruled every Part of his Company himself and had built it up from nothing. She had informed all of them about her concern and now it was time to wait for their response. While she had to wait she plan the best way to uncover a mole that was hidden that good.
Lex Tower.
“A Spy from Hydra in my Company?” Led asked and the only response was a raising Eyebrow but this was enough for his Bodyguard, second Hand and only Person he trusted to know that Led was angry.
“Sir. I swear by my Life that there is no Spy inside your company. I personally overreach each new Member.” Marcy stood there and looked into the Eyes of her Boss. Not many could look into his Eyes very long but Marcy was sure that she was right.
“This is enough for me my dear. Now we have to see if we can use this for our Benefit. As I see in the Mail she informed others as well. What do we knew about this Karen Starr?” he asked her suddenly.
It took Marcy a few seconds to find the information he Boss wanted but then a few Pictures of a Blonde Business Woman appeared on the Screen and suddenly Led smiled. “Who do we see here Marcy?”
“This is Kara Steele Mr. Luther.” She answered but before she could say anything more her Boss smiled at her and entered something on his keyboard. Suddenly the same picture showed Power Girl. But the face was just the same as the picture before. This time it took a bit longer before Marcy understood what that meant.
“Karen Starr is Power Girl? How did you see that?”
“I saw it in the second I saw her face. Unlike other men I don’t stare at her Tits. Like Superman she isn’t very good in choosing a cover Identity.”
“You know who Superman is?” Marcy couldn’t believe it.
“Sure. I know his Identity for 2 Years now. Mhm. Susan Storm-Richards and Pepper Pots. What do you think about it my dear?”
Marcy still had to fight with the fact that Lex knew Superman but she focused on the Question and smiled.” With this right tactic we could get a very interesting Price out of this Sir.”
“You will go to this meeting. Hear what she wants. I know that you won’t disappoint me.
A few Days later…. .
Inside the Hotel nobody knew what was happening inside one of the small rooms happening. Inside this Room were the Leaders of the Top 5 Companies not only of the USA but also the World. Lex Luthor was the only male and sat in the Corner of the Room looking at the other Woman inside the Room. Some of them were known Superheroes and others normal Humans. But he was the only one that knew who was who. And nobody knew who he was. He had spent millions of Dollars to create a cover for his underworld Projects. And if he couldn’t buy someone Marcy would deal with him. She was maybe the best Assassin he had ever saw only matched by the mysterious Redhead from Shield. But he would bet all of his Money on Marcy if both of them would take it out one day. But right now he was more interested in what Pepper Pots was telling them. Even if he trusted Marcy he had controlled every bit of Data from his Company himself. He was pretty sure that Lex Corp was not infected with anyone from Hydra but just to be sure he had Marcy liquidate every unnecessary Member of his most important Jobs. This was a terrible Setback for some of his Plans but he couldn’t risk any Danger. Neither could he risk to let Hydra find out about his Doomsday Weapon.
The other Woman inside the Room were Susan Storm Richards, CEO of Fantastic Corp and Member of the Fantastic Four. The next Woman was Karen Starr. He already had uncovered who she was. In her Cover Identity she was CEO of Starrware. But Lex knew that she was Power Girl. A Kryptonian Cousin of his Arch Enemy. He knew that he had to be careful in her Presence. Her Power were similar to Superman´s Power.
The next Woman was Carol Ferris. The CEO of Ferris Aircraft. Ferris Aircraft was the biggest Company in this Sector. Even Lex had to admit that this Woman was brilliant when it came to Aircrafts. The new Ferris HP X 313 was the fastest Jet on this Planet and was the only Jet that could match the Javelin from the Justice League. Rumours spoke about an even more advanced Jet that was hidden inside the Hangars of Ferris Aircraft. She was also a skilled CEO and had a lot of experience on this Field.
Pepper Pots was the brilliant Mind behind Stark Industries. She was the real Power behind the Company of Tony Stark. He was maybe the brilliant Inventor of the Iron Man Battle Armour or the ARC Reactor but he was an Idiot when it came to Business. Pepper on the other Side was the Archetype of a Business Woman. She was beautiful, clever and hard as a Rock when it came to Contracts. Maybe she was the only true threat inside this Room. She was the only Woman that had the Abilities and the knowledge to find traces inside his own company that could prove what he was doing and what he was planning. All the other Woman weren’t as clever as she was. She was a born CEO and the rest inside this Room were only a mere Shadow against her. Inside his own Company Pepper could archive so much more. Maybe he could find a way to make it happen. He looked around carefully and watched from Woman to Woman. All were stunning to watch but this was something Lex didn’t cared. HE saw the raw Power each of them possessed. Even without their Superpowers, like Susan and Karen, they had enormous Global Influence thanks to their Companies.
Maybe he could land a big deal with this Meeting. Pepper explained that she would go to another Company. She suggested that each of the local Person had to go into the Company of another Member of this Meeting. So they would minimize the Risk for them. A Pepper Pots could never ever infiltrate their own Company. It was simply impossible for her to walk unnoticed inside the Stark Technology Building. This was similar to all other Woman. Lex smiled as he noticed all the Woman agreed.
Carol Ferris was the last one that believed that her Company was save but as Pepper opened a Window with a futuristic Airplane design she immediately throw something into the Monitor and her face was a mask of anger. Lex smiled as he watched the sudden outburst of the beautiful Woman. He had seen the Picture only seconds but he had a sharp mind and unbelievable Memory.
“An Airplane with the Possibility for Warp Drive. Interesting. She found a way to break Einstein´s Law. Faster than Light. Impressive.” He thought and as Pepper asked him if he would help them too he informed her that he would not go as a Secretary into another Company. But he would Send Marcy to look after the Spy inside the Fantastic Corp.
