I been training with lex for a couple of weeks learned some martial arts but nothing to impressive and it didn't add anything to my arsenal but fighting wasn't all lex made me read a lot of books some helpful and interesting others helpful but boring he taught me some of the stuff he knows it's not just about my body being stronger I also need a mind to go with it lex and mercy walk into my room
Lex: here use this (hands you some sort of cream)
Jackson: what is this lotion
Lex: think of it as makeup it's to hide your tattoos can't have you looking like a common thug you will be occupying me to my press conference
Jackson: I'll get ready
They leave my room I put the cream over my tattoos they actually hide them really good I put on a nice suit what's with villains and suits I drive lex to the conference and his unveiling of his new help the unfortunate facility I stand guard with mercy it was pretty uneventful there were some other charity owners that look rich expensive clothes watches jewelry I don't understand how there buildings are so shitty this goddamn makeup itches like hell and the questions that were being asked were basically the same just reworded of until one reporter stepped up

???: can you answer my questions
Lex: of course miss lane
Miss lane: is it true your using this facility to control unfortunate people
Lex: of course not it's a safe space for all with food clothes and somewhere safe to stay
Miss lane: then why didn't you just donate into another charity instead of building your own sounds like your trying to boost your own reputation
Jackson: actually that's wrong
Everyone looks at me but I didn't feel uneasy its quite simple to out play these people
Miss lane: meaning and who are you
Jackson: I'm proof that lex idea works I had nothing and he was the only person to give me a chance and helped me on my feet
Jackson: your question was why he didn't just donate it because we don't if the money is being used to actually help unfortunate people they could just be hoarding it
Miss lane: that's a very interesting response but do you have any proof of these claims you make mr proof
Jackson: it's all around look at how expensive the other charity owners dress the buildings don't match them
People start looking around and whispers starts to wash over the crowd seems like people are in my trap time to go for the kill
Jackson: but lex matches his facility well kept and respectable so miss lane I won't let you stand here and under mine what he has done I owe him my life
Miss lane: guess I have no more questions
After the unveiling we get back in the limbo with me driving mercy next to me looking at what looks like charts and numbers and lex in the back with a cocky smirk across his face
Lex: not bad you got everyone to trust in me
Jackson: of course since I'm working for you I have to keep you afloat
Lex: you keep that up I'll make sure you keep getting good positions
We drive back to his tower I follow him to his office
Jackson: I want you to teach me to be as smart as you
Lex: as smart as me is impossible but I'll teach you some more things that we'll make you more useful
So for the past few days he taught me different skills i studied some science which was very confusing to learn but I figured some of it I learned how to wield and a bunch of other things but what was very interesting and helpful he had information about the heroes in this city there weaknesses strengths and even videos of them fighting
Lex: it's very easy information to get you just have to study there fights
Jackson: so when am I going to get my chance to take one down
Lex: I admire your ambition but it's way to soon but you will get your chance
I spent hours studying each video from Superman to black lightning the idea is really simple the problem is executing a plan doesn't matter how smart you are you can't count for everything
Lex: I need you for a important mission tonight
Jackson: what is it
Lex: I'm having some important things moved through a shipping yard I need you to protect the shipment until it's picked up
Jackson: what would be the biggest danger
Lex: probably just some thugs don't worry I'll send some men with you
Something seems off about this job but I might as well go and see what happens
