The view from his penthouse showcased the bay in the most delightful way, and he enjoyed it as he ate his usual healthy minded breakfast. Today though, today he allowed himself a rare treat in the form of crisp bacon cooked to absolute perfection.<br/><br/>“What’s the special occasion?” Mercy asked standing at the doorway leading back into the penthouse.<br/><br/>“Today’s the day.” Lex said simply as he picked up the last piece and admired it. “you know there’s nothing I love more than a plan coming together.”<br/><br/>“I figured that out a long time ago,” She said with a solemn look on her face. Lex eyebrow rose and he pushed the chair back as he rose and came over to her. His hand softly touched her cheek and after a few moments of hesitation she leaned into it.<br/><br/>“Today’s not a day to rain on my parade Mercy,” Lex said with a shake shake of his head. “This is the day they’ll talk about in history. The day humanity began it’s momentous climb to the stars and beyond. It’ll all be because of me.”<br/><br/>“Just,” Mercy said sighing and closing her almond colored eyes. “Just don’t forget who we’re doing this for Lex, Don’t forget-“<br/><br/>“Yes my daughter!” Luthor growled cutting her off. “Like you’d let me forget! I will go visit her soon okay? For now will you stop bringing her up? Today is an important day for me and I have to focus on the task at hand.”<br/><br/>He waved her off, and whatever she said next fell on death ears as he moved back to his breakfast. After a few minutes she sighed murmuring out a yes Mr. Luthor before turning on heel and making the arrangements for hi drive to the lab. When she left Lex brought his hand up checking the time.<br/><br/>10:15….<br/><br/>His plan would come to fruition in five minutes, In five minutes his agent would call out for Superman and he would come like he always did. He didn’t leave anything to chance and he knew he could rely on the big blue boy scouts inability to tell someone no. The piece of bacon came up and he hungrily devoured it as he waited for it.<br/><br/>He waited for the end of heroes.<br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i1.wp.com/www.manofsteelanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/space.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong>Clark Kent<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>2 May 2019 - Early Afternoon<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Space/ Metropolis<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Pictured above<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Closed<br/><strong>Warnings:</strong><br/><br/><br/>He was floating in orbit, his back to the yellow sun that nourished his body and gave him his awe inspiring powers. In the cold embrace of space he was alone, just one tiny speck in the infinite void. Here he was no Superman in comparison to the stars.<br/><br/>Whenever he needed clarity, or just a moment of being powerless he came out to the void. Lois once asked him what he did up here, to which he replied that he tried to meditate. He supposed the idea of all America Superman doing something so… new agey was laughable.<br/><br/>It sure as hell made Lois fall out of her seat!<br/><br/>He was a man who built a life around constraints, rules, and guidelines. So long as the sun was shining bright and it’s radiation was yellow it would remain so. There were few opportunities for him to simply BE and relax.<br/><br/>This was one of them. His eyes snapped open his head cocking to the side as he thought he heard a faint voice calling for him. He dropped hurtling back into the atmosphere and letting the heat tickle his body. After the roar of reentry subsided the sounds of his adopted planet hit him like a wave. The effort of tuning in took him a few minutes of concentration. He had to follow the sound waves and focus to finally hear the person calling for him.<br/><br/>“Superman!” A little girls voice called out at him. “Help please!”<br/><br/>He kept moving barreling down to the city and one of its long-forgotten factories. There was a rumble as he landed out side and his cape fanned out around him as he moved to the door. He was careful to open the door without tearing it off it’s hinges and once he had access he quickly searched for the girl who called his name.<br/><br/>He found her up at the top floor of the warehouse. In the older managers office to be precise. The little redheaded girl was kneeling in the center of the room in a dirty white dress. She was crying her body turned so that Clark couldn’t see her face.<br/><br/>“Little girl?” Clark called out to her his eyes flashing with worry. “Where are your parents.”<br/><br/>“I’m lost,” She cried with a choked sob. “I’m lost and I can’t find my mommy and daddy! Will you please help me Superman?”<br/><br/>“Of course.” He said to her moving forward right away. His hand reached out gently landing on her shoulder. “Let’s get you-“<br/><br/>The girl turned, and instead of a normal face hers was entirely black with hollow eyes and a large gaping mouth. She screamed an unholy scream and Clark ears rang. The high pitched intensity brought him down to his knees as the girl advanced on him. There was a necklace in her hands now, a necklace with a stone set in the center.<br/><br/>Kryptonite….<br/><br/>“No…” Clark said shaking his head from side to side. “NO you can’t!”<br/><br/>“Oh hush sweet Superman,” the little girl said in a demonic voice. “There is nothing to fear for this will all be like a sweet sleep for you….”<br/><br/>“Until you wake up to your new nightmare."<br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Gm Post</span></div><br/><br/>“This just in..”<br/><br/>“This just in…”<br/><br/>“Breaking news!”<br/><br/>At exactly noon, TV stations and news outlets all over the world went on live. All at once regularly scheduled programming was taken over and hijacked in favor of a breaking news story. The entire world was watching thanks to the machinations of the Light.<br/><br/>It truly was the end of heroes.<br/><br/>All of the news anchors were pale and the news they brought was grave. A few minutes ago, SUPERMAN of all beings began a rampage through the downtown district of Gotham City. So far no one was dead, though the injuries and property destruction were already in the thousands. Any attempt to talk to Superman was met with violence. Any attempt to guide him or try and confine him was also met with violence. There was nothing the conventional military could do and the government was formally asking for the league to intercede.<br/><br/>Their fate was in the league’s hands.<br/><br/><br/><hr/><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>
