"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐨. 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝."

—Task Force X General.

❌️—No Superman Zone.❌️

Never let your enemies have the advantage. Always think ahead. Always be a step ahead.

"Give it to him?!"

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"What the hell do you expect ME to do with it?!"

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

Rushing up to @lexcorpmaws ' office.

"I've got it. I've got the cure."

Holding up a vial, the liquid pure green in color and even bioluminescent is swiftly placed into Lex's weak hands.

"This is our only shot."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

( Grumpily opens the door. )

Huh—Lois?

[— 𝐋𝐨𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞. @planetruths]

Loud banging on @_GENERAL_LANE_’s door.

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

Giving a curt nods, General Sam wastes no more time. Rushing quickly downstairs to Lex's lab.

"God's above, I hope this cure works..." The only phrase that is muttered from Sam's lips as he exits.

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"But you're the one who-!!" He coughs again, then huffs defeatedly.

He hates that The General is right.

"Fine. Get to my lab. Make it fast. You say you need 24 hours? Work like You have 12. If I can't get through to him, your daughter is this city's only hope."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

—hasn't killed anyone. Not yet. But the longer we way, the more that serum will activate. Then it'll be too late to do anything."

"For whatever reason, Superman still saw something worth fighting for in you. You owe it to him to help him this time."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

"If you go out there, you'll be doing what you've been preaching about since day one. Keeping Metropolis and its people safe."

A short pause before Sam reaches out and places a hand on Lex's slender shoulder.

"I don't believe the Serum has completely taken root. Superman—

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"S-Soft? I don't know what you're talking about." He coughs, hoping his face isn't red.

"If I go out there, that thing Is going to kill me!"

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

Another sigh as he removes the hard drive from Lex's laptop.

"Waller was monitoring Superman like a Hawk. As was I. We both saw first hand how soft he was on you. Maybe you can..make his mutated mind clear."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

"I've been working with Waller for months. And I helped get that serum into what it is now."

"Look, I can get the cure ready and available in, at the soonest, 24hours. But the city needs someone to distract Superman. Your Lexcorp is the last spot with a high-tech laboratory."—

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"Me? Are you crazy? Look at me! And what about you? Do you know anything about how to do this stuff?"

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

— but it's only been tested twice. Waller wasn't too concerned about curing Superman once the serum took root."

Sam's gaze turns from the computer to Lex.

"The formula for the cure is all there, I just need your laboratory, and you need to distract Superman."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

"I don't have anything but this. I managed to snag it before confronting Waller."

Holding up a small hard drive, Sam clicked the device into Lex's computer.

It takes a moment before the device takes root, uploading valuable information.

"This has the early stages of a cure—

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"How I look doesn't matter." He shakes his head dismissively.

"What do you have? How can we fix this?"

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

With a furrowed brow and deep sigh, he looks over Lex. "You look sicker than hell, Lex."

A calloused palm runs through his hair. "This turned into a disaster like I knew it would."

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"That's nothing new." He coughs hard, hunching over and holding his aching ribs.

"I don't know if we have days, though. We have to be quick."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

He arrives at @lexcorpmaws office in a rush.

"I hope you're ready to be up for days on end so we can fix this."

"I hope so.

When you get here, if I'm not in the office, use the elevator. Input floors 5 3 8 6. I should be there."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

"Whatever your failsafe is. . .I hope they can beat whatever Waller..what I failed to stop."

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"Fine. I'm getting ready to deploy my own failsafe. Supergirl or whatever isn't even on the planet right now from what I heard. We're on our own."

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

"You trying telling that crazy woman to stop!" A sharp screech of tires breaks through the phone.

"I'm on my way to your Lexcorp."

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

"Well you did a fantastic—𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝— job!" He's hurrying down to his lab

[𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞 @_GENERAL_LANE_]

In the middle of driving, speeding to get to Metropolis, he answers.

"I didn't do a damn thing! I tried stopping Waller!"

[Lex Luthor @lexcorpmaws]

He's calling @_GENERAL_LANE_ as soon as he sees the news. He knew that dumb Hunk of muscle would mess something up with waller.

"Lane?! What did you do?!"
