It had been a more or less peaceful Night in Metropolis. Clark had helped by a Fire in a Building and then had travelled to Germany to fight down a Team of Super Powered Warriors that wanted to destroy Berlin. Together with some other Heroes from Germany and 2 Members of the J.L.A. he hadn’t wasted any time and saved thousands of Lives. As he had returned home he saw Lois sleeping in the Bed with a letter that she wanted to sleep. The last entry on her Laptop was only 30 minutes old. She had been working the whole night on the Article and needed sleep now. Clark smiled and made her something to eat for later. Then he left the Apartment to go to work. This time he had plenty of time and enjoyed the Taxi Ride through Metropolis.
“WHO THE HELL HAS THE INFO ABOUT GOTHAM!” he heard Perry scream even before he entered the Room.
“News in Gotham? Strange didn’t hear anything?” Clark thought and asked Jimmy what had happened.
“This Redhead Bitch Ivy tried again to destroy Gotham but Batman stopped her. All we know right now. Where´s Lois?” the young Men asked.
“Sleeping. Working all night on the Lex Story. I fear she will not make it today. She went to bed half an hour before I went to work.” He laughed and searched for a new Story on the Black Board. He took the Interview with the new President and Perry nodded at him. Normally this President Thing was more Lois Part but she was busy with the Story about Lex Luthor.
Going to his Desk he started to make the necessary calls with his contacts in the White House. The Day would be a busy one but if he wanted to have the chance to meet the new President he had to take the Chance. Humans tend to behave different if he talked to them as Superman. He wanted to see how the President would talk with a normal Reporter.
Lane-Kent Apartment.
A disturbing Sound brought Lois back into reality and moaned as she stared half-asleep on the Watch. Only 3 Hours of sleep. It took some time before she noticed that it was the Door bell and walked to the Door.
Thanks to the fact that she had slept only 3 hours sleep she wasn’t in a very good mood. Opening the Door she saw Diana Price standing there perfect dressed as always. She knew who she really was and both of them connected a strange friendship. At first Lois had always feared that the Amazonian Princess and Clark could possibly have an Affair but as both of the Woman had learned to respect each other. But with the newest information from Yesterday she wondered why Clark had not tried to seduce her? What did he see in Cat Crant? At least Diana had Style. Maybe she could tell her what happened.
“Hello Diana. Do you know what time it is?” she asked.
“You look terrible Lois. And it is 9am. Did I wake you?” she asked friendly and smiled at the wild looking Lois. “You shouldn’t work the whole Night my dear. Didn’t you heard from Home Office Work?”
“Very funny Diana. Come on get in and join me in the Kitchen. I need a Coffee before we can talk.” She said and moved into the Kitchen and made two coffee for them. As they nipped on the Coffee she felt her body waking up slowly. Holding the Cup in both Hands she felt better with each Sib.
“So what can I do for you Princess. What brings you to our Place? Clark should be in the Daily Planet or doing what he is doing when he isn’t working. I am sorry but you missed him.”
“To be honest he isn’t the reason why I am here. Don’t get me wrong but Clark and I talk about a lot of different Things. I wondered if everything is okay with both of you. After all it was a strange Time with Lex, the Invasion and all of this. It had been a long time that we had time to chat a bit.” She said. Diana didn’t want to ask directly about their marriage Problems. She hadn’t any experience in this Kind of Situation. On the Island the concept of Marriage or eternal Bounds was something different. When there wasn’t a Men there wasn’t a Problem. She had lived with that Codex for Centurions but as she had left the Island she had learned that Men weren’t the Source of all Problems. She had fought as many Woman as she had fought Men.
“Do not worry Diana. Everything is okay. I mean. We had good times and bad times. I mean everything bad had finally brought something good. The invasion showed us that Lex Luthor maybe has learned something from his Past. And did you see my new Apartment Style? I won it all in an Internet Show!”
“Yes. I must admit this one is something I could steal you!” she laughed as she pointed upwards to the Diamond Lights.
“Yes. It is our Favourite too Diana. Clark and I often sit on the Couch and enjoy talking about things while we watch the Lights.” She said and smiled. “If you don´t mind I could show it to you?”
“Sure Lois. It is your Apartment.” Wonder Woman replied and watched as Lois activated the Diamond Lights. Both of the Woman looked on the shifting Lights on the Walls. The System in the Background noticed again that one of the two Life signs wasn’t Lois or Clark and activated the Beta-Protocol. Scanning the Life signs it soon noticed that the unknown Person had the same Life Signs as an earlier Visitor that had already been exposed to a full Season 1 Intruder Protocol. The other Person was identified as Lois Lane. For her a new Phrase had been created. She was now in Phase 2 Program. For the unknown Person the System now activated the Phase 2 Intruder Protocol. The Pulses of the Diamond Light were increasing very slowly putting both of them in a mild Semi-Trance. They were still able to talk with each other but their Minds were more open for the Subliminal Messages. In Lois Case it was almost unnecessary to put her under but Lex wanted to be sure. For the unknown Person it would be a slowly Step into submission.
“Lois Lane likes the Presence of Lex Luthor. Lois Lane is attracted to Lex Luthor. Lois Lane wants to spend Time with Lex Luthor. Lois Lane wants to help Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor is a good Man. Lex Luthor is trustworthy. Lex Luthor is Sexy. Lex Luthor is beautiful. Lex Luthor is handsome. Lex Luthor is brilliant. Lex Luthor is trustworthy. Lois Lane dreams of Lex Luthor. Lois Lane dream about Lex Luthor each time she masturbate. Lois Lane want to impress Lex Luthor. Lois Lane want to help Lex Luthor. Lois Lane trusts Lex Luthor. Lois Lane don’t love Clark Kent. Lois Lane think that the Marriage was a Mistake. Lois Lane isn’t cheating when Clark Kent cheated first. Lois Lane trusts Lex Luthor. Lois Lane enjoys being close to Lex Luthor. Lois Lane want to be alone with Lex Luthor. Lois Lane understand that Clark Kent has Sex with other Woman. Lois Lane want to have Sex with Lex Luthor. Lois Lane will offer her Guest a Lava Lamp with the Diamond Light”
In the Meantime the Intruder Protocol 2 started to imprint new Thoughts into Diana´s Mind. Less specific than Lois or Clark´s the where easier to accept.
“Clark Kent is trustworthy. Lois Lane is trustworthy. Lex Luthor is trustworthy. Clark Kent is acting normally. Lois Lane is acting normally. Lex Luthor is a good guy. Lex Luthor is a Friend. Lex Luthor deserves a second Chance. Lex Luthor is trustworthy. You will try to support Lex Luthor. Supporting Lex Luthor is important. You will enjoy the Diamond Light. The Diamond Light is beautiful. The Diamond Light is relaxing. There is nothing suspicious about the Behaviour of Lex Luthor. There is nothing suspicious about the Behaviour of Clark Kent. There is nothing suspicious about the Behaviour of Lois Lane. You trust Clark Kent. You trust Lois Lane. You trust Lex Luthor. Helping Lex Luthor is important. Lex Luthor is right. Lex Luthor knows what the Best is. Lex Luthor is handsome. Lex Luthor is powerful. Lex Luthor is trustworthy. Lex Luthor is born to lead. Clark Kent and Lois Lane are trustworthy. Lois Lane will offer a Present. Lois Lane´s present must be accepted.”
A few hours later Lois suddenly stared with blank eyes at the Diana. Her eyes were looking dreamingly on the Walls but the Conversation was a silly Smalltalk right now. Lois suddenly stood up and moved to the Bathroom. Returning with a Lava Lamp she smiled at Diana.
“I would like to give this one to you. I know that your Apartment could need a little bit of modern Flair. This little Lava Lamp needs Electricity. Do you know what Electricity is don’t you Princess?” she mocked the Amazon Warrior.
“Mhm wasn’t this this thing that I create when I through you out of the Window?” she smiled and Lois laughed.
“You knew that he would save me right?” she countered and both of the Woman started laughing. While the Diamond Light freed the both of the Woman slowly from the Trance. The System had programmed the Lava Lamp with a small Set of different Phrases for the new Victim.
Back in the Daily Planet.
Clark should be happy. He had got the Interview with the President next Week. The White House had been very interested by the Idea that the Daily Planet would send some of their best Reporters. The Interview would be in 7 Days in Washington and he only need to inform Perry about it. But as he walked towards the Office he saw Vici Vale in the Gotham News. Vici was the Lois Lane from Gotham.
“This is Vici Vale. I am here in the Gotham Park where the last creation of the Infamous Poison Ivy. While she tried again to destroy Gotham City our Dark Hero once again came to the Rescue. We see some Pictures made by Members of the City. We see here that Batman almost defeated by the dangerous Villain.” On the Screen the Members of the Daily Planet saw Pictures of Batman standing in front of Poison Ivy. She was topless and some of the Pictures showed the Dark Knight getting kissed by her. The Pictures showed how deep entranced the Dark Knight was.
“But no redhead Villain can defeat our local Hero. This is the last Picture shows a strange detonation that seems to come from Batman´s Belt. The detonation made it impossible for the spectators to see the following Battle between Batman and Poison Ivy. It took him over one Hour to defeat her. Here we see a Video where he take her to the Bat Mobile. Until now the Police had not informed us where he brought her and in which Prison the dangerous Woman is now. But we see that the Battle seemed to be a tough one. We all feel grateful that our Hero once again. After Poison Ivy left the Crime Scene her monstrous Plant soon started too collapsed under the enormous Size. The Police and local Forces are still busy to clean up the Place. We will talk now to Police Commissar Gordon.
Chief Gordon! Chief Gordon! Please can you give us information about the Location of Poison Ivy? Is she back in Arkham? What has happened with Batman? Is he okay?”
“No Comment!” The Police Officer said and moved straight into the Police secured Area.
“Until now nobody has an information about the whereabouts of Batman or Poison Ivy. We will keep you informed. This was Vicky Vale from Gotham City!”
Clark looked at the Screen and was concerned. He knew that Bruce was more than able to take down Poison Ivy but he had never seen Ivy that aggressive before. She looked different this time. Seeing her putting Batman under her Control had something exciting for him. But the situation hadn’t the full erotic effect on him. Seeing his best friend in such a danger was still able to overcome the Indoctrination for a short time. But as he saw how Batman had put her down he feared that his Friend has finally have lost his Battle. But then he was surprised again by his Friend. Even without any Superpower Batman was one of the dangerous Men Clark knew. He had always a Plan and a Plan in a Plan. A battle against Batman was lost in the Second it started. And again he had proven that his Willpower was unshakeable. When Poison Ivy´s Pheromones were effective against him Clark would surely be in Trouble. Poison Ivy was a living Sexbomb even with her green Skin. Her Body was in a perfect Shape. But the Fact that he hadn’t put her into Jail was a bit strange. But maybe Ivy had managed to escape him on the Way home. Maybe he should call him.
As he tried he only reached his Butler.
“Master Wayne is sleeping in the Masters Bedroom Mr. Kent. He had a long Night and informed me that he didn’t want to be disturbed under any circumstances.”
“Is he alright Alfred? I heard that Mr. Wayne had a long night with some Supermodels?”
“Mr. Wayne´s Nightlife is something only Mr. Wayne is allowed to Speak about. But do not Worry Mr. Kent. Mr. Wayne is in a good shape.”
Clark wanted to ask something else, even if he was sure now that Bruce was alright, but Perry wanted to see him now.
Inside Wayne Manor Alfred put the Phone back into the Station. Mistress Winter had given clear Orders. Nobody was allowed to interrupt Master Wayne. And what Mistress Winter ordered was his Law.
Watchtower, Low Orbit over the United States.
Lex Luthor was the first time on the Watchtower Station. And he didn’t need to be a genius to notice that he wasn’t very popular here. Most of the Heroes up here had fought against one of his evil Plans before and maybe he had put one or a few into a Life threating Situation. But this Time he had been invited from 2 of the Main Members. Right in front of him stood the Martian Manhunter and Flash. Both of them had informed Lex that they wanted to test the first Prototype of the Shield Generator.
Watching on the Monitors the three Men stood in the Central Operations Room and looked at the many Screens in front of them. Most of them showed Diagnostics and Calculations. 3 of the Main Screens showed a Nuclear Test Area in Nevada. The Test Area was shut down but with the permission of the new President the J.L.A. could use it to test the first Prototype of Lex´s Generator.
The Generator was a 4 Feet big Module was but into the middle of the Test City.
“You are sure that Thing will work?” Flash asked and his Behaviour was already annoying Lex.
“I could use my entire intellect and the Rest of my Life but even this wouldn’t be enough to explain it to a Fool like you. So be a good little Idiot and don’t disturb the real Men talking could you?” He said and turned towards the Martian.
“I need this Weapon Test for my further Calculations. I would say a blast of 50% power should be enough.”
J´onn looked down on the Calculations. It was strange how fast Lex had returned into his old behaviour as soon as Wally had start talking. He even could understand him a little bit. Wally could be hard from time to time but he was a brave and loyal Friend.
“If my calculations are correct a Blast of 50% would penetrate the Shield and destroy your Prototype Lex. Are you sure?”
“Yeahh Lexy! Come on! Do you really want to blow up this funny Television Station?” Wally laughed and moved around Luthor in less than one Second.
“How much do I need to pay that we can dismiss this red Fool?” Lex smiled and returned to the Topic. “I must admit that your Calculation are Correct. The Shield Emitter isn’t fully functionally right now. But I need the specific Energy Output to do the fine adjustments. If I use too much Energy for the Shield it would be absolute impermeable.”
“Isn´t that the Goal Lex?” Wally asked and earned a stern Look from Lex.
“When I say Absolute impermeable I MEAN Absolute impermeable. I don´t know how you see it but I like to breath! The Calculation must be correct to guarantee that the Shield only stops an Energy Blast and not all Matter. So could we please run the Test now? I want to get back to my Office!”
“As you wish Mr. Luthor.” J´onn said and turned toward the Control Panel. “This is a Fail Safe Test for the Fusion Canon System. Main Power Room. Activate Fusion Generator one, two, three and four. Weapon Controls transferred to my Station in three… two… one. Weapon Control transferred. Power Output 21 % and rising. Target coordinates locked and ready. Main Energy to Fusion Canon. Activate Quantum Shield Generator Mark One.”
On the Screens there was a short Glimmer around the Test Area as the Generator powered up. Lex carefully controlled the Parameters of the Deflector Shield. As he was sure that the Generator had reached the Maximum Power Output he nodded towards the green skinned Alien.
“Condition Red to all Stations. This is J´onn. Condition Red to all Stations. Firing Fusion gun. Prepare for total Black Out. Condition Green for Main Power Room. Condition Green for Launch Bay. Condition Green for Air Locks. Condition Green for Back up Life Support System. Condition Green for all Stations. Firing Fusion Gun in 3. 2. 1. FIRE!” he pulled the Trigger and the entire Space Station started to vibrate as 4 Fusion Generators were powered up. Normally one of these could support New York with Energy but the Fusion Canon needed much more Power than New York.
All Systems shut down as the Canon had fired and the Monitors switched to the separate Power Module. On the Screens the Clouds over the Area were penetrated by a Beam of pure Light. As soon as the Beam hit the Shield Bubble the Bubble changed into a visible Frequency and started to glow in all possible Colours. But it lasted only for a few Seconds before the Beam cut through the Defense System and vaporized the entire Area.
“Sensors operating on minimum Setting. The Blast has reached 12 Mega tons. This is the power of a small sized Nuclear Weapon. The Shield has been penetrated after 2.913 Seconds Mr. Luthor. Impressive first Test.” J´onn had to admit that this Shield Generator had even more Potential than he had thought. Even the first Prototype had been able to deflect a Small Sized Nuclear Bomb. The final Plan was a Generator that should create a Field that was about 100 times stronger. Then not even the Fusion Canon would be able to cut through this Field.
Lex did not even react. He careful observed the Systems. As planed the Field hadn’t been able to deflect the Blast but it was a promising first Test. So close to a Mind Reader he didn’t even thought about the second System hidden deep inside the Generator.
