It was a bright and sunny day, as the people if Smallville went on with their business while Lex walked into Smallville Savings and Loan weirdly carrying a backpack, as the manager approached

"Mr. Luthor, what can I do for you today?' the manager asked shaking Lex hand

"I want to close all my accounts." Lex said simply

"May I ask why?' the manager asked shocked

"Is there a problem?" Lex asked with a raised eyebrow

"No! No, no, no, of course not. It's... it's just the Luthors have been banking here for 12 years. It's quite a shock." the manager said

"I'd like it all in cash." Lex smiled

"We'll do our best. Can I get your signature?" the manager asked taking a withdrawal slip from the table

"Certainly." Lex smiled signing the slip, and handing it to the manager who took it back to a file cabinet, held it next to another of Lex's signatures, and frowned when the signatures didn't match, closing the cabinet the manager walked back up to Lex

"Mr. Luthor, may I see a driver's license, please?"

"Why?" Lex asked with a frown, as his body language screamed hostile

"This signature doesn't match our records. I-I just need to verify your I.D." the manager said a but nervous at the look on Lex' face

"I'm standing right here in front of you. What more do you need?" Lex asked aggressively

"Sorry, it's bank policy." the manager said only for his eyes to widen as Lex pulled a gun from the backpack

"I need the money now. Fill the bag." Lex ordered

Moments Later

Lex ran out of the bank with the gun and the backpack as the alarm rang behind him, as everyone got out of his way, while Naruto turned a corner and ran into him "Lex, you alright?" he asked

"Get out of the way." Lex snarled before he pushed Naruto aside, sending him flying through a shop window, Naruto blinked in surprise as he looked up to Lex, and his vision suddenly flashed, and he saw Lex skeleton covered in green patches as his vision returned to normal as Lex ran off

"X-ray, vision seriously. Why not heat vision." Naruto groaned having never been a fan of his x-ray vision

Next Morning

Naruto, Jonathan, and Martha were in the kitchen, with Martha reading a newspaper with the headline 'Lex Luthor Robs Bank'

"This is incredible. Why would Lex Luthor need to rob a bank?" Martha asked

"I've seen some strange things in my day, but this definitely takes the cake." Johnathan said before he paused and looked at Naruto "Well, almost."

Naruto smirked, as Martha was focused on the paper "He got away with 100,000 dollars."

"Why would a millionaire, rob his own bank. That makes no sense." Naruto said eating cereal

"There must be some kind of reasonable explanation for this. I hope."

"Me too. I hate to think I have an evil twin." Lex said through the screen door getting their attention

"Lex, we didn't hear you pull up." Martha said as Lex walked in

"May I come in? I promise I'm not packing heat.' Lex said walking to the table

"Shouldn't you be in jail?" Naruto asked with a raised eyebrow
