About 5 minutes later a older white man in a black zip up suit walked out of the door Lucky was waiting before. On his Suit it had a embroidery name Johnson. He had a worn out look on his face. His hands were calloused and wrinkled. He walked with a slight limp in his left leg. He had greyish white hair and was going bald in the back middle. "Are you the new hire" he ask in a aged voice while looking at Lucky.
" Ahh umm ah yes. I mean yes I'm Lucky"
"Okay follow me then"
He then turned around and walked through the door. Lucky took one look and started to follow him. Before he walked through the door he turned around and waved at Alex one last time. He then hurried after the retreating Johnson. Alex now assured Lucky was gone walked towards the receptionist desk and talked to Margaret.
"Hello I'm here to apply for a R&D technician position. I wonder if I can meet someone who can introduce me to the position you have avai..."
Before he could finish his words a older black man walked into the lobby. " Ahh Miss Margaret do we have any new application for my Lab. I really need a lab assistant to help me on my work. "
"What a coincidence Mr. Hen this young gentleman here. Sorry I didn't get your name"
" Oh sorry its Alex Cartwright"
"This young man Alex was just asking about about available position in the R&D department."
" Oh well follow me then" said a eloquent voice of Mr.Hen. Alex looked over Lucius Hen he was a agings black man who was missing most of his hair. He had a charming but sly smile. He gave off a gentle Aura but Alex knew this man was a tiger pretending to be a pig.
He was a super genius who created a lot of Owlman's technology. He was the one that created the Owl jet and Owl mobile. He made Owlman suit bulletproof and fire retardant. Even made the suit that could be used in space combat. He probably even had a hand in making the Seer tower. He was a amazing man. Alex knew he wouldn't lose out by following him. Now all he had to was prove his worth.
"So tell me what kind of research you specialize in"
"Energy weapons. I can create and destabilize certain energy weapons."
Lucius Hen stopped in his tracks and looked at Alex in surprise. He thought 'If this kid is telling the truth he's a genius. Even I haven't been able to make a stable energy weapon.' Bruce had told him to wait tell this boy showed up then come out. He already explained the situation about him also. Who would expect this kid was also a meta-human. Hen lead Alex to his lab on the on the basement floor.
"Alright I wanna see what you can do. You have full access to my Lab. Create one of your energy weapons for me to see."
Alex while walking behind was remembering the first time the military asked him for his paten to one of his favorite weapons. A ray that temporary paralyzed it's victims. It actually sent a shock throughout their nervous system. He was actually really proud of this because he was tased by a cop for accidentally spilling coffee on him. So he created and used it on that cop everyday for a month before he was caught on camera. That's actually why he got involved by the military. It wasn't even that hard to build it was just a ray of charged protons that affected there nervous system and made them only slightly dizzy afterward. It stunned them for like 30 seconds though supposably the military said they met a guy that could walk it off. I don't believe it since they never let me see it.
"Okay don't worry I'll wipe of something amazing in about two hours of you have these ingredients" He then listed off a bunch of materials he needed. All rather common other then a pressured crystal that he have to make with a machine that was used to test underwater pressure. Luckily for Owlman's water suit they actually had one. However Lucius said it was for under water welder tests.
With that Alex got to work on his new weapon. Lucius went off to do something halfway through though. Alex knew it was a test to see if he go snooping around but little did Bruce or Lucius know he already knew everything about this lab . He knew there wouldn't be any cool stuff laying around in the open. So just kept working. After about a hour he started to work on the crystal. This was the most complicated part. If he had his old lab it be easier since he made a special machine for this weapon. However he had to do it the same way he created his first one. He put the machine to 7 tons of pressure and let the crystal slowly rotate tell it started to crack. He let it shatter and the focus on the smallest piece he could see and slowly lower and raise the pressure. Making the crystal even more compact. It ended up being the size of a small pebble. This was exactly what he wanted. he grab a pair of tongs and used them to slowly put the crystal into the weapon. He then built the rest of the weapon around it. Finally making his first ever weapon over again. Bruce was actually watching from his office so once he saw Alex finish creating his weapon he head down. He was worried he would build something dangerous and use it on people. He still didn't trust this kid. He just was too mysterious. He looked into it and he didn't find anything about a Alex Cartwright anywhere in the US. He didn't want to attack Lucius so he got into his express elevator and hit the basement floor.
" Hey Mr.Hen it's done where are you?" Alex asked as he looked around. However he didn't find him anywhere in the lab still. Alex decided to just sit in a office swivel chair and push himself around the lab at a fast speed.
After all nothing's better then have a open flat floor with a bunch of room to race swivel chairs on. He was zooming full speed at a wal when it started to open to reveal a elevator doors. In surprise he tried to stop the chair but ended up flipping it. Sending him tumbling into the person who just walked out the elevator.
Bruce had just reached the basement floor and was walking out the secret elevator. When a human ball came crashing into his legs. He reacted fast but not fast enough to save himself. He was bowled back into the elevator with a 14 year old boy on his chest. He looked up in shock. The kid jumped up and scratched the back of his head. " Oh I'm so sorry Mr Waylon. I wasn't expecting you to appear out of nowhere I tried to stop. Here let me help you up." He said as he stretched out his hand and grabbed Bruce's arm pulling him up.
