Hi BlindPassenger!
Mayson Drake sighed in frustration as she entered her flat late that evening.
I know, it’s the wrong universe, but given that She Hulk – Attorney at Law just started, I immediately went to “What if Mayson got powers?”
She had lost another case just because the defendant was obscenely rich and his lawyer had hammered him out with a completely moronic but unfortunately seemingly convincing argument.
LAYWER: “My defendant cannot be guilty because guilty men would not donate a seven-figure sum to the Jury Support Fund.”
She wasn't so sure what it had been for Clark or how he felt about her.
CLARK: She’s good people. Likes sport. What do you mean, ‘a woman’?
especially since she had seen the way he acted around his colleague, Louise or something like that.
Meow!
Especially since in her position she had not infrequently been lured into a trap by criminals to score points against their case.
Oh look, something she got in common with Lois.
LOIS: Oh please, I usually am able to get trapped without prior arrangements. Or if they need Superman bait. *dreamy sigh*
It was a somewhat run-down building, probably a warehouse of some kind, and she was far from sure that coming here was a good idea.
LOIS: Sounds like a good idea to me.
"That's right. I would like to know why you have such a negative attitude towards him."
/squints/ A non-nefarious situation?
"No. It's not about that. I may be a lawyer, but I'm not racist or anything like that."
"He can't just fly around and decide he can do whatever he wants. There are laws."
Foreign dignitary. Head of State presumptive. Has diplomatic immunity.
"Got arrested because Superman says he walked into a bank and had a gun hidden under his clothes."
My point is that he has no authority to pursue and/or arrest criminals, let alone decide their status."
Yes, that’s what the judges are for.

Imagine if everyone who felt like it played vigilante and just stopped crime themselves.

"Just think what could happen if some criminal decided to hurt or kill someone Superman cared about.
Mayson *has* met Louise (sic), hasn’t she?
LOIS: /polishes merit badge/
There is literally nothing and no one on this planet, to my knowledge, that could stop him should he get out of control."
Why they invented kryptonite lipstick.
"And that has what exactly to do with me? Do you suspect me of working with or for Luthor?" hissed Mayson angrily.
No, more like she is a criminal kingpin in her own right. After all, she’s a blonde!
I was quite sure - and am now completely so - that you are an honest lawyer.
Did he just deny her very existence by using an oxymoron?
I began to wonder if you had dangerous plans concerning me.
No, she just wants to seduce him on a bear rug in a cabin.
LOIS: See, dangerous plans!
"And you seriously thought I would commit crimes just because I don't like your attitude?"
Sounds reasonable.
I was not aware until now that my actions were causing so many bureaucratic loopholes.
BRUCE: So, “Criminal Law for Dummies” and “How to Bag and Tag”, why did he think I left those for him with a batstamp on the inside cover?
The next few weeks would be interesting.
Ends up dating Mayson. Lois arrested for arson and attempted murder of government official.
Thanks for sharing! It was a fun read
Michael
