Spoiled Red Drakes

We are the children of Tim and Stephanie Drake. Seven years ago our parents vanished with out a trace. But that has not stopped us from saving the world both in the board room and on the streets of Central City.

john clicked his tongue but didn’t argue - his cousins were naive, kids. even if they were older, it changed nothing really. john’s eyes narrowed behind his fists, faking another jab as he went for jax’s knee.

Jax easily dodged the moved and grinned at his cousin. He purposely avoided John. Jax didn’t need John to see beyond the carefully crafted image he held. Better John think he a spoiled billionaire then protector of Central City.

“The world is assuming the same thing. I mean if they’re in hiding without you and your brother, that’s stone cold. Leaving the two of you to shoulder the brunt of everyone’s criticism. It must be hard.” Chloe twirled her pen between her fingers. “Okay, okay-it’s a covering not a shadow. Who protects you? I mean you seem to be juggling all this weight but there’s no one covering our six o’clock. I mean besides the man who loiters around in very tight t-shirts.”

“Good thing I don’t always listen to the public,” Lux snapped, “Until I see my parents’ bodies, they’re alive. They haven’t returned to my brother and me for reasons. I trust them. They love us, it has never been a doubt for Jax or I that we are the most important things in our parents' lives. They would stay away to protect us,” she said firmly. “My Uncle gave up everything to take care of Jax and I. He is more than a man who loiters. He protects us. He loves us. He makes sure we take care of ourselves. Your ignorance is showing if you make judgments on a man just because he doesn’t say a lot or how he looks and what he wears. Conner Kent has chosen not to live in the spotlight to protect my brother and me, and give us a safe place to run and hide in. It was not by accident that he was made our guardian. Mom and Dad knew that Conner would always do the right thing for us. Jax and I know it too.”

“i wouldn’t really know.” she says with a small smile now looking at the blonde. “but my aunt told me i look like my mom in some aspects, i guess we all are like our parents in a way, uh?”

“I guess so,” Lux said with a smile, “I’m Lux Drake,” she said, holding out her hand to the new blond.

“I’ve got a ton of accusations with slow forming evidence. Galaxy-One was involved with my mother’s death.” William swallowed. “I know that they have plans to destroy what’s left of Star City.”

“Really? His disgusting nature knows no bounds.”

Lux hesitated, revealing herself to William was a risk. One she didn’t know if Jax would be okay with. He had been so careful with their identities. Making sure Spoiler and Red Robin couldn’t be traced back to Lux and Jax Drake. But if Galaxy-One was as dangerous and William claimed, “What kind of evidence do you need,” she asked bravely, “Maybe I can help.”

She couldn’t help but flash a sad smile at the mention of Tim. “Well You’re Father was always a good judge of character.” she mused. 

“Well I guess its true what they say. The apple does not fall far from the tree. I’d offer to talk to her, but I’m probably the last person who should be telling someone not to throw themselves completely into work.” She gestured to the work in front of her.

“It definitely seems to be something he thinks about alot.” She said thinking back to conversations she had had with Kon. She had seen less of him the more time had gone on, but to be fair, she pretty much saw less of everyone. Kon was one of the people she would still consider a close, if not best friend.  

“I hope so,” Jax said in a rare show of uncertainty. He wanted his dad to be proud of him. Proud of the man he had become and proud of how he had protected his family and their legacy.

“I think it’s her way of being close to dad,” he gave a small grin, “Don’t tell her you know, but the desk and chair she has in her office are dad’s. It was one of her few indulgences as CEO. She made surplus go find them in storage, restore it, and put it back,” Jax said. She said says it's like she’s sitting in the office with him like when we were little.

He sighed, “Everyone hides in something. At least yours and Lux’s are a little more socially acceptable,” he said. “Just don’t remember to come up and breath. You know you’re always welcome at our house. Even if you come in with a mountain of work. “We’ll set you up with you - wait that’s it,” Jax said his head perking up. “Move-in with us. We’ve got plenty of room. Kon pushes everyone away that he has a choice about. He can’t do that with Lux and I because we live there. Move-in with us. Help us take care of Kon. He’s done such a good job of taking care of us it’s time for us to repay it. I can set you up with anything you need. Name it's yours,” Jax promised.

“Yes, I know, but vigilantism is still illegal, and I had to explain why he had a bo staff and a whip in his car. I think I would’ve rather them think he was a vigilante then what got published for the next three weeks about his sex life.”

“Are you trying to give me grey hair since I no longer age?”

Kon sat uncomfortably listening to the siblings bicker; he agreed with Lux about her statements. But with their nighttime activities, he feared what the negative press would draw to them.

Jax grinned, “Its only illegal if you get caught,” he said as if he were pointing out a less then obvious thing. “And I’ll tell you, Selene was really grateful that I was able to get that back to her. She forgot it when we took down the lab in Gotham,” Jax said with a grin. “At least they know I support all types of lifestyles.”

“Is it working,” Jax asked.

Lux sighed, “Jax, please. I don’t care if they call me a hypocrite. I have to make nice,” she explained. “So you need a bigger scandal to take the heat off of you,” Jax asked. “Nothing that has to do with nudes,” Lux cautioned. “What if its the Princess of Argus losing her shit on her sweet cousin,” Jax asked. “Jax you can’t do that to Grace, she’s family - ”  Lux started before being interrupted, “She turned her back on us a long time ago Lux when Christian and Grace refused to even entertain the idea of ARGUS taking Mom and Dad. I’ll burn her glass house to the ground if it means protecting you.,” Jax promised. Lux hated the idea of hurting Grace but was touched by her brother’s dedication. “Just, go easy on her. Nothing about her mom. We promised Aunt Babs we’d watch out for Grace.”

Grace’s jaw dropped, “Did you just call me Princess Hitler?! You are such an ass,” Grace snapped obviously upset. “Look, I get that you’re going through this whole Rebel without a Cause thing, but you have got to be careful, Jax. You are already on ARGUS’ watch list since your mom and dad died,” Grace said in a patronizing tone. Her cousin still believed that vigilantes were heroes and that metas belong with all people. She always pointed out that it was his unknowing privilege that let him believe that, but she always reminded him that it was possibly a meta that took down his parents’ plane all those years ago.

“You support an organization that takes innocent people off the streets and locks them away without due process. And mysteriously when people are vocal in their opposition of them, they disappear or are declared criminal. You work for the Nazi regime, Grace, you’re just too blind to see it,” Jax criticized. He didn’t blame Grace. She had grown up brainwashed. Her dad basically leads the secret police. There was a reason Jax and Lux avoided Christian like he had the plague. “Really, Grace, if I went missing would you even bother to look for me. No, because you know your little regime would have killed me or thrown me in prison, like mom and dad. Like they want to do to your mom.”

“Oh please, I’m sure you’re somebodies favorite.” She said with a soft smile. She shook her head. Both him and his sister always reminded Cass of Tim and Steph. Sometimes a little too much.  

“So not much has changed with her.” She said grinning. “I see she’s been very busy lately. She shrugged as the other talked of Kon. “Yea that sounds like Kon. Though I doubt he’d ever leave you, even after you graduate. Trust me. I’ve been trying to get rid of Conner for over 20 years but he manages to stick like glue.” She teased.

“Dad’s, I was Dad’s favorite. Lux was Mom’s. We were reflections of their favorite people in the world. I think that’s why Lux and I never really competed. There wasn’t one to be had. 

“No. Lux works too hard. Takes too much on. Refuses to take care of herself. I think if Kon hadn’t bargained two dinners a week as part of her emancipation, we’d never see her,” Jax said with a sigh. He worried about Lux most day. He knew she was terrific, but she was too serious for someone so young.

“Oh; I don’t doubt he’d check in on us. But I think the not aging thing is really getting to him. I noticed there are a few people he interacts with from when he was younger. I thought it was because of the anti-vigilante and anti-meta rules. But he won’t even talk to those that got out of the game.

“It’s eerie–the likeiness between the two of you. Your mother kicked some serious ass and I want to know how that has shaped you.” Chloe tapped her pen against the bind of her notepad. “What is it like to live in the shadow of a ghost?”

“You’re assuming they’re dead. You have to understand, in my family, we have a saying, Habeas corpus. My parents have quote-unquote died way too many times. We instilled a family rule that unless one of us has the body in our possession, we don’t believe anyone is dead. That includes my parents,” Lux said without hesitation. "Besides my mother doesn't cast the shadow, that would be my father. He ran the Drake Foundation and Wayne Enterprises once my gradfather retired. And I would never consider it a shadow. I would consider it protection. Because I know that was always my parents number one rule. Protect Jax and I above all else."

“none of this is for fun, jax. focus up.” john commended sternly as he balled his fists into stance. john jabbed experimentally to gauge jax’s reaction.

“Mom always said, If you’re not having fun, you’re not doing something right,” Jax said with a grin as he dodged the man’s swing easily. God he missed his mom.

Grace rolled her eyes, her cousin was exasperating and brash, but she loved him even if he had radical beliefs that she worried would get him arrested one day. “What haven’t met your quota today,” she said with a grin as she slid into the sleek sports car.

@spoiledreddrakes

Jax grinned at his cousin. Grace Singh was the Princess of Argus; just a hint from her that Lux and Jax weren’t a 100% behind Argus and they’d be carted off to a no-name prison like their parents. “Come on, Princess Hitler, I’ll buy you a new dress for your next celebration of blood,” he said snidely. He knew Grace grew up blind to what Argus was doing and her opinion was skewed by the abandonment of her mother, but Jax had grown up on stories of Barbara Gordon’s awesomeness and dedication to their family. With how hurt Grace's dad had to be when Barbara chose the rebellion over him and Grace, it wasn’t a surprise. Jax just hoped to make her see someday.

“I’ll accept it.” William closed the door behind her. The last thing he wanted to show her was weakness but it’s all he had. After the bloodbath in Star City, he felt the seeping bit of guilt and hopelessness settling onto his skin. “Galaxy-One is going to rip people’s lives apart so I am behind you one thousand percent. Kevin Dale–he’s something else. Donn’t worry about that, you and him bat for the same team.”

Lux came in heading to the kitchen to start dishing out what she brought while William pulled plates and glasses. “Wait, what? Is there anything that you can prove yet,” Lux said, looking surprised and worried about it. 

“That’s not a secret; I’m pretty sure he hit on my baby brother before realizing he was underage.”

“Hey, watch the merchandise, thank you very much.” Get up, Rivera. This was one of those things he hated about his life as a vigilante. He always end up with bruises that where hard to explain to co-workers in the morning. Picking up his discared tonfa, he readied himself.

[spoiledreddrakes]

Red Robin sighed as she watched her brother continue the chase after the bank robber. She turned and offered her hand, “I’d apologize for Spoiler, but he’s not sorry, and it wouldn’t do any good,” she said, helping the vigilante up.

[aherocslcgacyarchived]

“put on your mouth guard because i’m not going to go easy on you.”

[spoiledreddrakes]

“Good,” Jax said with a grin, “Cause an easy fight is no fun.”

“But they can for your brother, and have since he wrapped his car around a pole,’ Conner sighed leveling a looked at Jax, before grimacing.

“No, no cameras or web cames or anything like it, Jax. I’m serious. That’s creepy and weird,” Conner said, pulling on his clean shirts that hadn’t made their way up to his room yet. 

He sat down dishing out his breakfast, ‘Any plans this weekend,” he asked them both.

“In Jax’s defense,” Lux said, “He was chasing the guy that tried to shoot the mayor.” Lux pointed out sipping her coffee with a small smile. 

“It’s a major money maker in Japan,” Jax pointed out with a grin.

“I have to fly to Star City. I’m supposed to make nice at a Galaxy One Gala after my snarky comments in Forbes,” Lux said quietly knowing her brother would hate it.

“No,’ Jax said firmly, “What you said was true, and I’m not going to let the board bully you into apologizing for telling the truth.” He could feel the anger bubbling under his skin. 

[spoiledreddrakes]

“Whatever you say kiddo.” She said with a soft chuckle. “Well that why Lux is secretly my favorite.” She hummed teasingly. “I’m all set, but thanks for offering. .” She said spotting her empty cup. “Wise words.” She mocked rolling her eyes. “So how is Lux?” She asked turning to him “And Kon?”  She added curiously.

“Lux is everyone’s favorite, Auntie, it's no ones secret. It works for us,” he said with a shrug. “True words,” he corrected. His sister was the optimist, Jax preferred reality. Everyone had a price tag and a pressure point. You just had to find it. His Uncle Kon often joked that if he hadn’t been Bat-born and raised, he’d be a supervillain. 

“She’s amazing. A superhero without the cape,” Jax said obviously proud of his big sister. His mom had made sure he knew there was no competition between them. People would try, but they couldn’t let them. Steph had pointed out that his strength was not shying away from the camera while Lux hated the limelight. It was a similar dynamic between his parents. Steph drew the fire, and Tim saved the day.”He’s Kon. He stays to himself. Takes care of business. I know it's bothering him that I’m about to graduate. I - I think once I do, he’ll go away,” Jax admitted.

“A vodka tonic and a tub of vanilla ice cream would do the trick,” he grumbled. William shook off the frost in his tone, tightening his stance to strangle out his cynicism. He stepped out of the way to allow her to enter. It had been the first time since he spent an evening in his apartment. His adventures in Star City had done a number on his spare time. “It’s good to see you, Lux. I read that article about you in Forbes. The snarky jabs at Galaxy-One were fantastic.”

“How about not so cheap wine and Thai take out,” she offered, holding them out to him. She and Williams weren’t close, but being the youngest CEOs allowed Lux to feel like they could be friends someday. She smiled and walked in. She sighed, “Glad you thought so. My PR team is freaking out. But I don’t like them. I don’t like their business model, and their CEO gives me the creeps,” she admitted, showing her youth.
