The Retired

Chapter 18 - Dinner and Assyrtiko

Alex POV

"How did it come to this?" I muttered as I watch two of the most beautiful woman in the world amicably talking to each other over dinner.

The animosity I felt earlier, was replace with good natured atmosphere and is that l.u.s.t..? which makes me really confuse.

'I had an Idea on what happen earlier but this sudden change of atmosphere completely throws me off' I sighed before observing Wonder Woman and I couldn't help but smile, remembering the past 'a band of suicidal people wreaking havoc in the frontlines; the three howlin' stereotype, the spy, the madman and the goddess 'sigh....good times'

I listened in to the two and was able to get snippets of what transpired in GL's hearing which happened exactly the same way as the show albiet with Lobo trashing half the League with only Wonder Woman, Superman, Martian Manhunter and of course Batman able to stand in their ground against him.

The only thing the worried me now is that how large of a galactic community is it or what steps did they make to ensure Earth's safety from this so called Galactic Community (because I'm pretty sure the New Gods, Kryptonians and other Alien Empire wouldn't join this so called GC with them being powerful and all), fortunately enough Batman has the sense to prioritize Earth safety, denying them of their request of the location of Earth for "trade purposes" in which Superman almost naively gave.

"I must say it is an honor for me to be able to escort, two beautiful women today" I said joining their conversation. The two gave me a wonderful smile before one of them replied.

"Still the flatterer, I see" Diana said. While Karen just giggled before saying "Yeah, he can really charming if he wants to"

"It's not flattery, I'm merely stating the facts" I said to the two. "So Diana, what brings you here?"

Diana just smiled and said "I'm here to visit you of course and maybe a few spar though I didn't expect for you to be on a date with such a lovely woman and Karen I'm sorry for interrupting your date"

Karen gave a flirtatious smile before responding "you're wonderful as well Diana and I don't mind sharin-I mean I don't mind you being here "

'Huh?' 'Wait the f.u.c.k? Was that a confirmation?' I turned to look at Diana to observe her reaction and ....did she just check Karen o-out?

As I look at Diana once a gain, the word 'Lesbian Orgy' floated in my mind and I couldn't help but muttered an "ohw..." which made the two look at me with a raised eyebrow.

"I mean I have a lovely Assyrtiko in my apartment?" I immediately said trying to cover my befuddlement making the two chuckle.

"Is that an invitation?" Karen ask with a glint on her eyes.

Cursing myself for losing composure, I decided to just wing it.

"Why yes, that's if the two of you would like too?"

"Hmm...it's been a while since I've drink one, sure" Diana then turned to Karen and ask "how about you Karen?"

"Sure, I don't mind" Karen replied.

The two woman then look at each other and smirk, they seem to have come into an agreement and turn to look at me with a predatory look.

'Oh my'

Third POV

In the heart of the Bat cave, Batman kept glaring at the computer screen with much intensity.

"Stare it more, Master Bruce and it might come to life and escape" said Bruce's trusted butler, Alfred.

"I'm just trying to make sense of this Alfred" Bruce replied.

Alfred read a few of the contents and raise his eyebrow. "I see..that's certainly disconcerting"

On the file, it showed Alexander Maximus' complete profile or as much as batman can piece together.

"With a net worth of more than 110 billion dollar and with various stakes to various companies including Wayne Enterprise as well as Luthor Corp, he's considered one of the ric.h.e.s.t man in the world second only to Jeff Bezos." Batman explained, peeking the interest of Robin of the bat clan. "That's only just the beginning, SEC or Space Exploration Company just made a radical move last month by merging with the company Asgard as well as pulling 5 more company into it; rebranding it into Space Navigation, Exploration, Trade and Robotics Industry or SENTRI"

Robin was confuse and decided to ask "What's special about it to warrant full investigation? I mean yeah riches guy in the world and such but isn't most of it he spend on various schools and orphanage arround the world"

"That is correct" He then displayed the other five companies and said "SENTRI has a lot of branches including Robotics, Spacecraft designing and many more, the problem now is their security company with around 40,000 under it's employ, the company has basically an army, a thorough trained elites and very well equipped with state of the art weapon system although it might not be a lot compared to G4S but still it is said that one security personnel of the SENTRI is comparable to two special forces soldier"

Robin was slacked jawed, he had the opportunity to work with tri-corner police force and was amaze at how efficient and effective they are even to the point of almost apprehending Deathstroke and to think that they were trained by the people of SENTRI with 40,000 strong, well-equip soldiers makes him shivered. "So what did the US Government do about it?" He ask.

"That's the problem, they didn't do anything not because they won't but because they can't as it is well known that the company originated from France and the US Government is afraid of the consequences when the company pull out from US soil as well as most government officials employed their services due to their effectiveness as seen in the Invasion." Batman said with a grimace. "And it is suspected that he could be a powerful sorcerer as well"

"Hmm...that is quite a conundrum" Alfred said before offering the two a sandwich. "It basically makes him untouchable though I hear he is quite the Philanthropist himself with over 200 schools and orphanage built around the world not including the various water station, clinic and soup kitchens he built in africa as well as supplying energy to communities that desperately need them, he alone basically brought down Africa's poverty rate by a few percentage." Alfred added.

"I don't know Alfred, with those schools and orphanage, he's basically tapping at Africa's human resources giving him a highly trained and educated workforce, he also employed rebels into SENTRI's security branch with good pay and healthcare for them and their families bringing down a notch a few rebel activities in africa giving him not only experience soldiers but also makes his company valuable to the African Government" Batman said "this could all just be a ploy" he added as his brows furrowed.

Alfred just shook his head and said "well if it is as you say Master Bruce then he's probably Slytherin himself."

Robin dumbfounded and ask "a what now?'

Alfred's eyes widened as he said "Good lord haven't you read Harry Potter?"

Robin scratch the back of his head and gave an embarrass smile "uh....sorry..I wasn't able to get into the series"

Alfred shook his head and replied "I must correct this immediately, come! we shall rectify this problem"

"W-what! No Im good!"

Alfred then dragged the struggling boy a way leaving Bruce in the Bat cave, he might not admit it but both ends of his lips twitch upward a little bit.

"Hmm.." He turn back to the file and immediately added something to it.

Below Alexander's name in the profile, a word read "under observation" and another with "Threat level: Unknown" and with that he shut the Bat computer off.

*****

It was morning when Alex realized that his bed seems to be a little bit crowded than usual, then as if struck with lightning, he remembered the events that transpired the night before and his eyes couldn't help but widened though after looking at both his side, he finally settled down and saw two beautiful woman spooning him in the middle.

'Damn' he couldn't help but mutter 'I must have save the universe in my past life to be this lucky'
