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.&nbsp; 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 style="font-size: 18pt;" class="bbc_size">Tag Code</span></div><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[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>

She fascinated him, in many ways both emotional and professional. Yes he admitted he had an emotional connection to her. After all she was his “daughter” a hybrid creation of his DNA and the DNA pulled from Superman. People said he wasn’t progressive! Yet here he was the co parent to another man! Course he knew that was much different from the act of having a child with another male but still… the points had to count for something in his opinion.<br><br>That DNA shone through subtly. She was a female so there was not a perfect likeness but there were hints of him in her cheekbones, the general shape of her face, and in the way she spoke. He could recall being into the guitar himself at her age well her chemical age and not her biologic real age. There were hints of Superman to, things she did that surely belonged to the man in red and blue. When he first created her he debated using her facial features, her mannerisms, and the look of her to compose a facial program that would use Superman’s face as well to map out all the potential “Supermen” in Metropolis. He’d even tinkered on the program in his spare time in hopes of getting it to work. Ultimately though the data wasn’t enough and the project was one of many languishing in his Superman Bunker. <br><br>“Hello my dear.” He said returning her hug and kissing her hand before he released her. “ I’m fine on both regards.” He told her waving off her question about a snack and a drink.<br><br>“I came to see you.” He said moving with her and checking the tablet showing her latest vitals and the list of things she did today. Coming in under the “guise” of being her doctor was a way to keep himself at a distance. Then being “Uncle” Lex guaranteed a certain paternal feeling. If she was anything like the big boy in blue than having her heart would work better than having those mental commands he’d programmed into her mind.<br><br>He believed she would be more effective that way. A puppet would never fight with the heart and vigor of the real Superman after all. Above all things he didn’t want a puppet. <br><br>He wanted an actress… <br><br>In time she’d be used, to either kill Superman if it came to it OR to cast him on the side of the fallen angel. Lex was putting all of his efforts into the later, but he was prepared for the other if it came to it. Redundancies and fail safe’s upon fail safe’s.<br><br>“You seem to be doing well today.” He remarked sliding the ipad back in its dock. “I thought you and I would shake it up today. Go up to the roof and let you feel some real sunlight instead of the artificial one we’re using to restore your powers.”

It was Lex Luthor’s less than humble opinion that the same thing could be said for humanity’s advancement. Of course science and humanity went hand in hand, the advance of science almost always led to the advanced meant of the human race. There were plenty of examples of that throughout history, and every age, renaissance, and decade was marked with some significant development. Patterns…. Patterns everywhere, patterns that Lex Luthor prided himself on charting. <br><br>It was his belief though that human advancement was slowing. He’d checked his calculations of the past and studied the present and his findings were… troubling. Humanity was stagnating and with the knowledge that alien forces were out there and existed the crippling reality was that they were already behind. They couldn’t even reach the stars yet! Not at least easily. Much less the colonization of other planets and the exploitation of those resources. Humanity was to busy with it’s worse vices, with killing each other instead of rising to greatness. <br><br>Then there was SUPERMAN. <br><br>His hands were shaking with tell tale rage. His teeth gritted forcing himself to focus on the present. He had to be careful with her, the experiment could become corrupted if they sensed that Uncle Lex was not who he said he was. He couldn’t start back from scratch this time, there wasn’t enough DNA from the big blue boy scout. For his plan to succeeded he needed her, and he needed her to trust him. <br><br>“You can bring your Camera.” He said conceding it. The other one, the one who’d failed had been interested in photography as well. Luthor suspected this was a trait from the other donor. Every so often when something like that hone through, some facet of Supermans personality Luthor felt confliction. The alien could sometimes feel… normal, or at least living with human traits. In press conferences Superman claimed to have lived on Earth all his life and grew up on the planet after his homeworld died. Was that life anything like Lex’s? Did he have a father who hated him? A mother who was barely there? <br><br>No… for some to be that… that “good” he’d had a good life. Probably lived in the lap of luxury with parents who spoiled him. Where else would that arrogance have come from? That damn optimism/ entitlement of his. Thank god his girl had-<br><br>He paused blinking rapidly. He’d said HIS girl, claimed Cali in a way. She was no longer subject Kr in his mind. In all of his studies into human behavior specifically parent hood he thought he cracked the formula, knew how to prevent himself from feeling anything familial as a parent. It certainly worked with Alexa. For Cali though… <br><br>“I’d love to have a picture with you.” He said hoping and wishing it was more for her benefit. “Come along Cali.” <br><br>He turned beckoning for her to follow. There was a second room by the holographic emitters giving her any city or place in the world she wanted. He tapped in a quick code deactivating the red sun lamps behind the door and unsealing it. There was a beep and he twisted the handle pulling the door open and exposing the wrap around balcony on her floor. She wasn’t below ground, far from it! She was already high in the sky of Metropolis. <br><br>“Here we are.” He said stepping outside and turning to her on the threshold.<br><br>“You can trust me.” He said reaching out to offer her hand if she needed it.

She was his creation after all, built by him and as perfect as one can be. Watching her move to the balcony, he could have named a thousand different systems within her (both biological and mechanical) that were working perfectly if she was a work of art she would be a Van Goh his favorite. If she wasn’t created to fulfill a specific purpose he’d have already taken her out on tour and she would have won him his second Noble Peace Prize.<br><br><em>If only if only. </em><br><br>He blinked surprised that the nursery rhyme came into his head. A brief flash of a memory bubbled to the surface. The memory of his mother singing it to his adopted sister Lena Luthor as Lex listened. His mother must have sung it to him to, back when he was a baby but his memory of that time was spotty at best. <br><br>At worse…. <br><br>His fathers Lionel Luthor’s violence was well known, well documented, and wholly public. A violence that saw Lex’ mother dead, his sister scarred emotionally, and ultimately his dad in jail. Lex was the one who made it happen, not so much for him but for his mother and his sister. This, this was the first time Lex Luthor got to be a hero… <br><br>And learned how addicting it was. <br><br>He shook himself out of his thoughts. Whatever he felt toward Calie… it made him think about his family, and thus was dangerous. For Luthor had no family, and he preferred to keep it that way. With a sister on the side of the “Angels” a mother buried, and a father in jail he had no need for them. Calie was NOT his daughter, not his niece and the only reason she affected him was because he allowed her to. <br><br>That needed to stop. <br><br>“Ah yes the picture.” He said moving to get in place for the selfie shot. There was a click and she’d cemented the moment in time. Luthor wasn’t sure how he felt about that, so instead of focusing on it he turned to the matter at hand. <br><br>“It was my pleasure child.” He said in a stiff tone. “I brought you out here though for another reason.” <br><br>He always flew by around this time. Probably commuting of some kind to whatever he did when he wasn’t saving the world. Sure enough there was a tell tale sonic boom above their head and then a red and blue streak went hurtling by. It rocketed toward the heartland, the farm belt of Kansas. <br><br>How many people saw Superman like this and felt a measure of relief? How many people stepped outside to see him fly by? Like some modern god gracing his city with his presence. Luthor’s mouth curled into a sneer but he fought back the urge to shout. <br><br>“That is Superman.” He said softly. “That is the creature you’ve been training to fight, training to kill if it comes to it. I implore you to come out every day and watch him go by. For you must get used to seeing him, know your enemy know their weaknesses. Start tomorrow you’ll begin studying Superman. All that we have on him and his abilities.”&nbsp;

Those damn emotions of his! That burning in his gut he worried might drive him insane. Was it guilt? Something he had never contemplated FEELING much alone actually dealt with. Why should he regret or feel guilty for anything? When what he did was for the good of the human race? <br><br>Right here, right now he felt…. Something though. What that was he didn’t care to find out. He was going to have to accelerate his time table. He feared what having her around much longer would have an effect on him he would have thought impossible. <br><br>Genuine love for something he created. <br><br>“Yes well,” Lex said his throat constricting as he fought the tidal wave of emotions inside of him. “I don’t think you will… I don’t think you will at all.”<br><br>He turned moving back to the door and opening it. “Time to go back in,” He called out to her. “The door is unlocked though.” He let that little trust linger in his mind as he led her back in. After that it was time for test and the latest round of information uploaded into her brain. In a way she was like a fancy operating system, constantly needing updated and “patches”. <br><br>He watched her the whole time. Technically speaking there was no need but… he watched her all the same. It was one of those moments of weakness he “allowed” under the guise of cool logic. She was to important to his plans he’d tell himself as he made up excused. He couldn’t trust some idiot scientist to do it alone. Anything so as not to think of the truth. <br><br>That he was watching over his daughter. <br><br>That night he made the call. It was time to put their agents in place and proceed with the plan. The rest of the members of the light agreed provided she was ready. Luthor confirmed she was in truth she had been for several days now. <br><br>It was time to let go. <br><br>Tomorrow… Tomorrow she would do battle with his mortal enemy. He would die by her hands and he would be praised as the savior. <br><br>Then he would kill her….
