Luthor's New World Order

Forgiven Ending aka You Can Never Trust a Luthor

Alex headed to the cafeteria with a sigh of relief. She felt so glad to be out of that boring class! Looking forward to getting to just chat and hang out with her friends and younger sister, she picked up her pace as she approached the lunchroom. Right at the doors, however, a hand shot out to grab her arm, stopping her immediately. It was Lena Luthor.

"I have something for you," she said, handing the Danvers a signed and sealed envelope. Alex took a moment to study it, confused, but the moment she looked back up to ask what it was for, Lena was already gone, vanished in a crowd of other students eagerly trying to get into the lunchroom. Even if everyone hated the cafeteria and its food, they did enjoy getting to goof off and see their friends again. Alex was quickly swept into the cafeteria by the sea of students surrounding her and she didn't get the chance to try and figure out where Lena had gone off to.

10 minutes later, some of the food in Alex's mouth came flying back out. A few of the nearby students gave her disgusted looks, but she was already halfway out of the cafeteria, Lena's letter clutched in her hand like she was trying to strangle it. It was a short thing, an explanation, an address, a plan and a list, but it had chilled Alex to the very deepest parts of her soul.

"Lex Luthor has kidnapped Kara Danvers for dissection. He knows she's Kryptonian..."

In less than 10 seconds, Alex was in the principal's office, pretending to be seconds away from puking. He quickly called her parents and they came over at fast as they could. Alex kept up the charade of being ill until she was safely in their car and off the school's property. Then she wasted no time in reading the letter to Jeremiah and Eliza. After nearly getting into a crash because of that letter, it literally and figuratively sending Eliza and Jeremiah both into temporary shock, they were suddenly shooting across the quiet town's roads at near fatal speeds. In a legendary four minutes, the family arrived back home. Jeremiah had been locked in conversation on the phone the whole ride home and by the time he reached his house, already there were several of his friends standing in the driveway.

"I'll explain later. Run!" he told his family as he vaulted out of the car and towards his friends. Suddenly, Alex and Eliza found themselves flying back down a different road in a new car. This one stopped outside of a normal-looking suburban household.

"Wait until you see the basement!" Jeremiah muttered, then the entire crew went flying into the house and down the stairs. It was enough to cause Eliza and Alex's eyes and mouths to widen when they got a good peek inside. It was a massive place, like an underground lab, and it was filled to the brim with all kinds of weaponry and foreign, futuristic tech.

"I used to work for Cadmus," Jeremiah confessed then. "And so did these guys."

"But we all left once the policies of the place became too violent and inhumane," one of Jeremiah's friends admitted.

"We never looked back, but we did retain some of our old tech and knowledge," another said.

"And that's what we are definitely going to need today..." and then it all became clear: they were going to follow the address on Lena's letter and head straight over to the head honcho himself: Lex Luthor.

One of the futuristic devices in Jeremiah's friend's lab was essentially a jet.

"It'll get us where we need to go faster than anything else... except maybe a teleporter," Jeremiah said ruefully as everyone crammed inside, armed to the teeth with an array of weapons and technologies. And sure enough, in barely over an hour, the little squadron of ex-Cadmus workers reached their destination: a fancy university somewhere between the Midwest and the deep south. Already, several other groups had arrived.

"More friends," Jeremiah smiled darkly as he and everyone else turned to face the university doors...

The Danvers and their Pro-Alien allies managed to storm Lex's classroom a second before Kara would've been dissected.
