Location: New York City
Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Doctor Doom, Domino




Doctor Doom has posed:
Latverian Embassy, NYC. Victor Von Doom is currently in his office, plotting his next bid for world domination along with the multitude of other pots what need stirring. He sits in that luxurious chair of his, hands steepled with the index fingers poised before the mouth of his mask, looking for all the world like the brooding tyrant people say he is. The rest of the Embassy is business as usual, with a normal level of office bustle and security protocols. Of course, those protocols may be a tad less forgiving than what other countries might implement.

Should he receive certain visitors - such as the likes of Domino - they will find the Embassy a welcoming place so long as they are easily identifiable; obviously, disguises and stealth approaches not withstanding.

Domino has posed:
It is actually daylight for once, as Domino stands outside the Embasy grounds looking in through the gates from a distance. The guards, the security she knew it would be super tough to get in undetected without hurting anyone. Sure she could go in guns blazing, and get to Doom, but these might be his countrymen and that would piss off Doom, and even she did not want to do that... especially when she was going to ask for his help.

Of course she could just walk in, but in her paranoid mind she see's the guards, and the security the first thing that comes into mind is a breach and clear. It doesn't take her long to find some other lady her size walking the New York streets getting wherever she is going, as Domino follows her. Needless to say moment later Domino is walking around now in a bright pink hoodie with the words 'Juicy' on the back leaving some lady knocked out with a trenchcoat over her.

Now in her 'disquise' she walks around the walls taking selfies till she finds her in. Grappling hook, climbing abilities, and a little bit of luck she is over the wall in a moment ducked down inside. Of course it is hard to hide in the outfit she chose, and there is security so it doesn't take long before Doom would get the alert there was an intruder, and she is surrounded by guards as she just strolls in.

The wierd thing is she doesn't fight them as they stop her. She holds up her hands, as they point guns or whatever they have at her. Domino mearly smiles at them with that cold look of calculting how she would kill them if they shot at her, but seems to give up. That is until one moves to put their hands on her... Of course they need to 'secure' her, but that puts in motion a flury for when he touches her she is flipping the man over with a knife to his throat. Of course thankfully no-one shoots, but bringing the weapons to bear all around her she crouches over the guard just a drop of blood coming from his throat she looks at them like the crazy lady she is. And that is where things are at.. Doom knows dang well who it is if he can see her, surrounded by guards with one of the poor souls at knife point moments away from slitting his throat but holding as she didn't mean to get herself here so is thinking about how to peacfully get out of this situation.

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doom has, of course, been watching this unfold via the security feed in his office. He's absolutely seen who it is, and how it has all come to pass that she's now holding one of his security guards hostage. At this point, he doesn't give it time to escalate further. A flash of light in his office, and he his no longer there...

...but rather, right where Domino can see him plainly, and that mask of his with its forever resting Doom-face. A voice issues from the armor, his own and with all the carefully measured tones that draw a line that is not meant to be crossed, a single word uttered: "Neena."

Doom has arrived, and his Will is the only one that matters now. The guards stand down. Ball's in Domino's court now.

Domino has posed:
Of course as soon as Doom arives the guards being his stand down, as Domino grins. "I could of gotten out of this you know." is all she says as she slowly lets go of the person she was holding. She glances at his neck.. "Blood for blood." and cuts her hand slightly letting a bit of blood fall to the ground.

She had not ment to hurt anyone, but she had so looks at Doom, holding the cut hand up. "Are you appeased?" she asks seriously. If he wasn't then there were many things that could go badly for her so she took the initative.

She glances around at the other guards for a moment.. "Their reaction time is good... Though some drop their guard when they think they have the advantage. If nothing else maybe that knowledge will be enough for them" she finishes wiping the blade on her pant leg, and putting it away. She bows her head.. "Doctor Doom, I do not believe this is the best place to talk buisness." she is already pulling out a first aid wrap to cover her hand, so she didn't bleed everywhere. "May I follow you to your office?"

Doctor Doom has posed:
A portal opens that shows Doom's desk on the other side. He walks into the opening, and smoothly trods a path around his desk to stand by his chair. The portal remains open for Domino to follow, the man himself saying nothing as yet.

Domino has posed:
Domino glances at the guards one time, and walks in to the portal unquestioning. She looks around a bit waiting for the portal to close again before she speaks. "You have done quite well for yourself here, I am surprised they let you back into the country." her tone a bit more relaxed as no-one is watching now. This is more like how she usually addresses people, though it isn't ment to be disprespect only a bit less ridgid. "Sorry about all that" she points back to where the portal was. "Reactions like that are a work hazard as you know."

She walks around a little it taking in the sites of the office quietly before she speaks again. "It is getting worse out there... Even the hero's are heading towards chaos." she pauses before continuing She speaks of chaos, but the news would have her in in quite frequently lately.. Robbing a bank, assulting a police station, kidnapping.. You name it as she has been busy. "I am running out of option on how to bring this world back to order.. So I thought I would come here." she finally turns to look at you. "I remember you kindly Doom.. You are like me in a way order by any means neccesary. So I have come here for your help." she shrugs.. "I know I am not as powerful, or smart as yourself, so I am hoping this will give me more ability to reach the goal."

Nothing rings false in her words, as she figurativly just puts all the cards on the table. She knew better to lie to Doom, and she didn't want to go through the slow sell option. He would help or he wouldn't that was all there was to it.

Doctor Doom has posed:
The portal snaps shut once Domino is through, and Doom takes up residence in his chair once she's in the office and resumes his previous pose; steepled fingers, index fingers to mouth. He listens to her, intently, and takes several heartbeats past when she stops talking to reply.

"Our so called heroes, with rare exception, have long leaned toward chaos. Lawless vigilantes, ignorant or uncaring beings from other worlds, all instantly willing to do as they feel is right, laws be damned." he scoffs, his tone almost cruel in so proclaiming. "I am willing to provide what you need, but first I must know what you expect. How do you see me helping you in this effort of yours?"

Domino has posed:
Domino moves to the desk, and puts her uncut hand on it. "Look.. I got most the villians from Gotham on my side, Lex, though he has his own plans of course, is chewing on the bit to get on my side and I am already spreading anti-hero sentiment. But it is not enough.." she turns, putting that hand under her chin. "Nothing works.. it all goes back to normal like nothing happened, and I want to change that." she glances back at Doom, "I want to take Gotham.. Not for long for just about tweleve hours. I want to show these people what Order can do to clear the streets of their crime... Do better then Batman does it."

She taps her head.. "I know with a better leader in place with an eye towards progress, and order that these people could do better." she shrugs a bit, "It is just trying to show them that." with a sigh she adds. "But I don't have the power.. Batman, Wonder Woman, Shield maybe... Are all after me and as soon as I make a move they are going to be on me... That is just the ones I know about, or don't just randomly show up."

Doctor Doom has posed:
"Twelve hours may be too brief; all too easily painted as a terrorist attack, or at least the actions of a criminal enterprise. Something for fear mongering politicians to spin in whatever favor they desire, and with whom do you think they'll side? You? Or their precious Batman, or that ridiculous Justice League?" Doom posits to her then, his physical position unchanging.

"You have my attention, my interest, and even my experience at your disposal."

Domino has posed:
Domino nods taking your words seriously.. "I thought of this myself.. Just some crazy lady killing criminals... But" she smiles a cold smile and turns, "We use their technology against them.." she walks closer to the desk taping her chin, "We show them their fate first hand, and they may try to hide it though that would be difficult. Then they may still spin it successfully of that I have no doubt, but it will always be there.. a few standing up to the chaos.. Forever.

after he speaks she takes a seat, and looks at Doom.. "The question is... what do you want?" she says after a moment looking at him.

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doctor Doom says, "For my aid in this, you will owe me and you well know will collect. You also know I do not blithely ask for things you are ill suited to provide." You know, in case she needed any assurances. "In fact, I've considered pulling together a team of people I can rely on when I am unable to attend certain matters myself; some of whom who may serve as my liaisons when my involvement needs to be kept... private."

His tone lightens, but it is no less serious for it, "Alternatively, I would be willing to extend an offer of citizenship to Latveria, which would solve many issues on both sides."

Domino has posed:
Domino nods to herself thinking about what was offered. She did look surprised about the citizenship thought it was quickly gone. She did know if Doom asked for something he ment to keep that debt close at hand. "No mutants... I have killed multiple mutants through the years I don't mind ordering it, but I am done killing mutants." even she had some limits to where she go towards order. It wasn't really that she disliked it, but she had left that life behind her, and was not going down that rabbit hole again.

She glances at him, "Believe me you don't want that Domino would either.. She would stab even you if she saw the chance to." she sighs, and chuckles, "That part is over I would never of course... Different time."

Finally she nods, and folds her arms looking at him not looking to want to shake on it. "I agree.." and after a pause she follows up with. "My Liege.. May your plans be executed with but a whisper." and grins coldly as that was the best she got to try to be friendly.

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doctor Doom assures, "One with my confidence is free to determine how their tasks are carried out, and I bear no ill will toward mutant-kind; they - as any - earn my wrath of their own merit." He rises now, the motion unhurried and his voice turns contemplative. "We need an excuse - some reason why an agent of Latveria would be in Gotham murdering its criminals. I trust you have the patience to see this planned rightly?"

Domino has posed:
Domino smiles and nods watching him carefully, Doom could see the paranoia, not that she would be attacked, but Doom would change into what they all did, but she kept it under control for now.

"Joker owes me one, but he is crazy.. tell him to do one thing and you will get a random result." she holds up a finger.. "Though like most he is a creature of habit in who he betrays."

She gives a small shrug, "So he does something to piss me off, and it ends up upsetting Latveria we are seperated from it enough to enforce whatever justice we deem fit." she waves a hand, "Though that is one way.. there are a few. I will wait if you ask me to wait, but I prefer planing then execution there is no reason to overthink it."

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doctor Doom says, "Only long enough to put the pieces into play; a critical stolen shipment perhaps, tracked to criminals in Gotham." He looks over to her, "If you can make that work, it may help your cause. Otherwise, I leave the details to you."

Domino has posed:
Domino stands and gives a short bow with an arm sidways under her for flurish. Though she still has that cold stare, and half smile.. "I will expect your shipment." she stops and that half smile turns to a grin. "Of medical supplies of course. And will work things in on my end.." she shrugs a bit as she stands upright again. "One thing I have learned about Gotham is a single person can not stand against the chaos no matter how they may obsesivly try." she turns, and walks back to the wall where the portal was, and pokes it.. of course just a normal wall.

"The hard part will come next, and that is where I am going to need your help." she walks around looking at the room. "I am sure you are the boss of everything in here." with a grin she finds something shiney small random object maybe not expensive.. maybe so it is up to her luck. "When you are ready.. do what you do and find your lost object."

She didn't understand magic obviously, but she did know you never stole from a wizard. She was hoping this wasn't something her couldn't do as she had no idea what he could do and she knew people of power did not having to face what was not in their power.

Doctor Doom has posed:
There is certainly some bauble that she can get hold of that - surprisingly - is the very sort of thing she would like to pick up and handle or, maybe not so surprising for her. Doom watches this as she strolls about, listening, then once she reveals what she needs from him he approaches a painting to look upon. "Done." he agrees.

Domino has posed:
She turns, and nods, she moves to the door and stops. "Oh.. This isn't deal breaking, but.. I would like one of those." she points to the green cloak that would be hanging somewhere if not on him. With that not waiting for a yes no she turns to leave. She has said everything that needed to be said now was the time for action.

Domino would walk out with a smile though, it was a good deal for her as it got what she wanted. Oh soon this country would fall to order, and though she may not lead it she would force her way to a position of power inside of it. She tosses the bauble up and catches it with a fierce look as it was time for the game face. She was going to bring hell unto Gotham, and she was looking forward to it.
