Ivy Garden, Ivy Town
"So what brings you to Ivy Town?" Doris asked.
"This," Diana put a flyer on the table, "I was investigating these people and decided to check this out this weekend."
Doris and Ryan looked at the flyer, they had seen it before and both of them looked at each other.
"Is this some sort of drug ring thing?" Ryan asked.
"No, it was an insider trading case," Diana smiled.
"Karen," Doris said, "She is going to this along with her husband.
"Oh?" Diana smiled.
"She is well secretary I guess you would call her," Doris started.
"They came up with a new PC term for it," Ryan shrugged, "but she gathers up our grades and hands them off to the registrar and gives us our class rosters and assignment. She had that flyer on her desk."
"And she was kind enough to give each of you a techno CD," Diana smiled.
"Yeah, it was wierd," Ryan frowned, "it had a really beat to it, but it was almost like they taped over a covnersation."
"I couldn't dance to it," Doris shrugged.
"No, it was just to implant subliminal control programs into your psyches. Time to turn off your brains!" Diana laughed.
Ryan Choi and Doris Zuel's eyes glazed over and their jaws slackened.

Clark-Lane Appartment, Metropolis
Clark was not sure what to expect when he got home after filing the news story. What he didn't expect was Lois sitting there flipping throw a magazine dressed as she had been earlier.
"What's up Lois, you said you had something planned for tonight."
"Yep, check the elevators," Lois turned and smiled, "I ordered delivery from Gino's Smallvile. Your favorite too!"
"That's it?" Clark raised an eyebrow.
"That and some cuddle time," Lois smiled, "What were you expecting? I just want to spend some quite time together."

Jake's Italian Joint, Metropolis
Jimmy followed Meg into the restaurant. She had changed out of her work cloths, but she was still sexy. She wore a rubber corset, a pair of rubber tights, over that she wore a cable knit sweater dress and pair of booties. Jimmy was now dressed even sexier under his street clothes; rubber stalking, garter belt, sheath panties, corset and sleeves. Meg got them a table and ordered, each time Jimmy was about to say something she turned up the remote control vibrator hidden inside his shorts.
"Jimmy, I don't live 24/7 in latex," Meg was explaining, "But I am a full on fetishist and I do enjoy kinky sex."
"I am learning to love all things rubber," Jimmy confessed.
"Maybe after this weekend you can join the Rubber Kingdom," Meg kissed Jimmy, "But you have to work hard to learn the lessons needed to be one of us!"

Underground complex, Gotham city
Harleen sat on a bench and waited for the drones to be pulled from their chambers. The Three stooges were now actively responding to the stimuli in their chambers.
"Welcome back," Harleen smiled, "Declare your loyalties."
"We are servants of the Rubber Queen," they chanted, "We swear total obedience to her and her latex darkness."
"They are asigned to the tactical squads," Harleen told the processing Drones, "Clad them in armor and take them to the guard blocks. Tommorrow night Pam, Tomorrow you get to dedicate yourself to our Queen and goddess!"
The former Harley Quinn blow a kiss at the latex bubble containing the inert form of Pamela "Poison Ivey" Isley. Her rubber butt squeked as she got off the stool and walked away.

Wayne Manor, Gotham City
Dick, Alfred and Bruce were in the entrance hallway when the door opened. Their talk about planned patrol coverage since Tim, Barbara and now Stephanie had all disappeared stopped as the door open.
"Thanks for getting us at the airport Miss Brown," a red haired woman said as she came in.
"It was my pleasure Mrs Carol," Stephanie said, "When Tim called I was already in the area."
"Master Tim!" Alfred said as Tim came in lugging a pair of roller suite cases.
"Alfred," Tim smiled, "Ahh Bruce, Dick... This is my cousin Kari Carol. She is going to be moving to Gotham. When she called I had to go and help her move out."
"Mrs. Carol," Bruce put on his fop smile, "Welcome to Gotham City."
"Please call me Kari," the woman smiled, "I am going to be changing my name now."
Dick and Alfred noticed the statement. Bruce continued to play the Fop.
"I hope I am not intruding, I would only need a few nights while I get an apartment," the woman put her hand out to shake Bruce's, "Tim assured me that you would insist I stay here instead of a hotel."
"No problem, no problem at all!" Bruce smiled, "Alfred will show you to the Rose Room, Dick take the bags."
Bruce waited for the three to leave then dropped the fop act.
"Answers!" Bruce demanded like an angry god.
"She is a part of my mom's family," Tim said, "When she called I had to go help her. Her husband was threatening to kill her, and he was a key member of Intergang."
Bruce staired into Tim's soul.
"No Robin, but he got nailed to a wall a minute before the Police broke into his safe house," Tim said, "I moved her to a safe house in LA then moved her here. I called ahead and got her an apartment, she will be out of here by Tuesday."
Upstairs Alfred layed out a set of towels on the pink bed of the Rose Room and smiled at the univited guest.
"Wow this is nice," the woman said.
"Indeed," Alfred smiled, "Should you need anything pick up the phone and dial 7."
Dick and Alfred left her alone in the room. So this was the inside of Wayne Manor, the Rubber Queen smiled. As the character of Kari Carol she would be in the position to have regular contact with Tim Drake and his girlfriend Stephanie Brown. As the Rubber Queen she would still control her empire. The best part was her servants in the records departments had prepared the needed paper trail for the Batman when he went looking for her on his super computer.
