Chapter 11

- That's not what I knew. - Perry said. - If you stay, I will call the police and you will be being escorted off the daily planet. - He said. – I will plead national security. - Perry said.

- Boss please. - Tried Lois.

- If you prove it to me. - Perry said. – Who won't be killed by Astro-Star. - Perry said. – Thinking you're a super villain. - Perry proposed. - I allow. - Said his boss.

Lois, fuming, went to her desk, grabbed her things, and headed down the street by the elevator.

Nixty Selenity Delphos, followed Lois, with her dark glasses, she bumped into herself coughing and feeling sick, almost falling, the woman almost got angry, but turned around in time when she realized the man was feeling sick, it was a good disguise for that leper, being unrecognizable.

- My God. - Lois said. - Are you okay? – She questioned.

- I'll get better. – He said, sitting on the bench, a little shaky and unsteady.

She released him when she got up, not noticing that she had put a tracker on her, watching her, and then following the next day monitoring her, and watching Diana's actions, throughout the day, and throughout the week.

Some of them bet on DragonWoman, even not seeing him for a long period of time, since a month before, they would manage to induce him to kill.

There were several press rallies that Luther made arguing that Astro-Star was as fallible as anyone who would be a danger to the world, and should be arrested throughout the week until the test period was over.

A Wonder Woman was about to break a villain's neck and her sword nearly pierced the shoulder of an innocent caught in an ambush and used as a shield.

Each of the heroes at some point were caught in the crossfire between villains who looked like an assault group, they showed up, took Astro-Star, Wonder Woman out of their minds, they made an attack, came and went the moment they acted.

That week, Wonder Woman was held back by Astro-Star who was trying to prevent her from killing one of the criminals who used a hostage as a shield in addition to bombs attached to her.

After they calmed down, Astro-Star also lost control by the group of revenge and assault that followed.

- Do you think they would really give us money if an innocent dies? - Barry questioned.

- Even if they drop money, I wouldn't do that. - Said Astro-Star.

- Even if yes, it's a lot of money, besides losing my soul, I would be rich, but my soul is very important to me, Barry. - Said Astro-Star.

- Yes. - Barry said. - For me too. - Barry said. – But what if it were by other means, like winning the lottery, what would you do with 700 billion dollars, plus 30 gold bars.

- What a dream, Barry. - Diana was laughing. – That's a lot of money, really. - Diana said.

- I have no idea. - Said Astro-Star sitting in the leisure room of the tower.

– I, at least, would distribute a part. - He said. – There are many hungry and penniless people around the world. - Said Astro-Star.

- Scout as usual. - Diana said. - It's a good idea. - Diana said.

- You wouldn't do that, with that money. - Said Astro-Star. – If there was another way.

There was the attraction and seduction of sin itself, once, she was almost tempted, there was the temptation.

All heroes almost killed an innocent, even if it's almost, they were attracted to a chase.

Investigating and following heroes, it took its toll on her body, everyone thought she was drinking, or feeling sick in corners, but really, she hadn't slept, it had been four days.

They had constant fights, Astro-Star, Wonder Woman, various sprinters.

Her lack of sleep, it was going down to five, she was getting energetic and eating a lot, which she saw several heroes being cornered, and villains surrounding Diana.

Those bastards were giving some heroes double work, in a matter of the sixth day, Luther, made an appearance, and invited Nixty Selenity Delphos out together, the man managed to reschedule three times, four, until she couldn't find an excuse to avoid to meet.

Meanwhile, while being watched by prying eyes and spies, at that time when Nixty Selenity Delphos and the gamblers were watching them...

The heroes were in the Watch Tower, while the silence was heavy.

After a while in silence they started talking, exchanging reports of a tiring day of humanitarian aid, they almost killed or let children die who were kidnapped by a villain, Astro-Star almost dropped a child towards a cliff.
