Below him was the glittering jewel of Metropolis shined and polished in such a way that took his breath away. He loved this city, he loved this city so much and had since the day he stepped off the Greyhound and left Smallville behind. This was a place where anything was possible, where the American people explored the boundaries of science, technology, and mortality as they advanced along their various mythic destinies.<br/><br/>Or at least, that was what was SUPPOSED to happen.<br/><br/>The world changed when Superman revealed himself to the world and then an invasion followed suit. The world changed even more when a second invasion came from the stars in the form of Steppenwolf. So called remarkable people stepped up to the plate, protecting humanity and saving the world from the “big bad monsters”. All following the banner of Metropolis’s favorite son.<br/><br/>God Damn Superman.<br/><br/>Freaks, monsters, and beings from the stars. That was what the world relied upon for protection now. Things were so twisted even the government was doing it now! He had enough friends in high places to know about Wallers little Suicide Squad. Then there were Meta Humans, the next stage of human evolution. These men and women were born with incredible powers, powers that men had only dreamed off before now. In short there was a renaissance of sorts going on a renaissance he had no part of.<br/><br/>“Mr. Luthor.” Mercy said her high heel tapping softly. “Your hands are shaking.”<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/streams/2014/May/140530/2D274905980561-140530-ent-heisenberg-tease.fit-760w.jpg)</div><br/>He looked down noticing his wrinkled old hands were indeed shaking. He was just shy of 44, the milestone of fifty a mere six years away. His twilight years, some would say but how could they been when his accomplishments now were nothing but failures? When everything he’d done as a human was less then compared to Superman? Who was Metropolis’s favorite son, a title he should have.<br/><br/>“Your hands Lex…” Mercy said coming up behind him and letting her tan fingers rub the knot forming on the back of his neck. “Your going to give yourself a heart attack if you keep carrying this stress.”<br/><br/>He wheel grabbing her chin as his eyes bore on hers. “Do not placate me woman! I’m at the top of my health.” He growled as their eyes locked. The two stayed like that for a second, then what happened next always happened. The anger gave way to passion, before Lex knew it she was bent over the desk her business skirt ripped as he fucked her hard and rough.<br/><br/>Thank god for a sound proof office.<br/><br/>One Hour Later<br/><br/>“Alexa was wondering when she would see you again.” Mercy Graves said as she slowly rolled her stockings back up.<br/><br/>Luthor grunted in response pushing himself up and off of the pullout bed in his office. He coughed hacking slightly as he pushed the covers off of him and moved to one of the spare suits he kept in his office. He wouldn’t dare wear clothes he’d been in earlier, nor ones rumbled on the floor.<br/><br/>“Maybe.” He finally conceded taking out one of his new shirts out and breaking the packaging. “You know… you know I have to be careful.”<br/><br/>“She’s your daughter Lex.” Mercy said moving to adjust and comb her hair. Her almond shaped eyes and Latin features impeccable even though they’d just rolled around in bed. “Is it really the worst thing in the world for you to be seen with her.”<br/><br/>“A child out of wedlock with my bodyguard and personal assistance,” Luthor remarked getting dressed. “My Latina bodyguard to boot? It’s for her benefit.”<br/><br/>“Liar,” Mercy said with a snort. “There isn’t a single thing you do that isn’t for your benefit Lex.”<br/><br/>Luthor said nothing in response. No one knew him better than Mercy Graves. Instead an awkard silence stayed for a few minutes as the couple finished dressing. Only when he began to fix his tie did Mercy come over and fix it for him. “You maybe a selfish bastard Lex but… I believe in you. I believe in your work.  You’ll lead us all to the next level of humanity. Your daughter is your heir though, whatever they might say… she will inherit all of this.”<br/><br/>He leaned n giving him a kiss before she pulled back. She turned on heel moving to the door and giving him one last look before she left. Lex reached up and touched his tie his eyes dark and contemplative.<br/><br/>“Does she really believe that?” A cultured Middle Eastern voice asked from the shadows.<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/9/91/Tumblr_ltmp7tEIkr1qh9ho4.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120118235704)</div><br/>“The folly of love.” Luthor remarked turning to watch the older man come out of the shadows. “It breeds false security. She imagines that one day I will die. She knows nothing of our deal Ra’s.”<br/><br/>He turned moving to the bar to fix he and Ra’s a drink. The Demons Head followed him, his green and gold robes hiding what was no doubt an assortment of weaponry. Lex himself was never armed, he refused on the grounds his mind was the only weapon he needed.<br/><br/>“And how do our deals fair?” Ras asked taking the offered drink with a soft dip of his head. “Our various… project are going well?”<br/><br/>“Better than well,” Luthor said turning with a smile. “Project Kr was a success; she continued to grow and learn and she’s as ready as she’ll ever be. On that note our agents in Scotland found the artifact we were looking for. Combing it with the samples Manta procured for us should achieve the desired results.”<br/><br/>“And your sure we should focus just on the Kryptonian?” Ras asked his eyebrow furrowing together. “And not the entire league?”<br/><br/>“The league will be ousted when the heart and soul of the team falls.” Luthor reminded Ra’s. “Which will make them prime recruitment. Several of their people are enhanced humans, meta’s we can use them for what it so come. When they see the light, they will cast aside their preconceived notions and join us in the movement.”<br/><br/>He brought his drink up at the same time that Ra’s did.<br/><br/>“The Light.” They both said in unison before clinking their glasses together and taking a deep sip.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>The Following Morning</em><br/><br/>CADMUS Labs<br/><br/>“How’s she Doctor?” Lex asked his hands behind his back as he entered the high-tech super lab. Inside were several large tubes, vats where various human forms twisted and turned.<br/><br/>“Good Mr. Luthor.” Doctor Mark Desmond said nervously. “I’ve kept her out of this room, the hypnotic commands are working and she’s processed all the fighting information as well as the simulated memories.”<br/><br/>“Good.” Luthor said moving to the door leading to her “home” the one built for her and her alone. It was built to replicate a normal teenage girls bedroom and he’d given them explicit instructions to let her design it. He knocked counted to ten and then opened the door.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Tag Code</span></div><br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=300 padding=6][/img][/floatleft]<br/>[b]Character Name:[/b]<br/>[b]Date/Time:[/b]<br/>[b]Location:[/b]<br/>[b]Wearing:[/b]<br/>[b]Tagged:[/b]<br/>[b]Warnings:[/b]<br/><br/>[hr]</code></pre>
