"So," Lois smiled at the girl. "You're Mr Luthor's niece?" The girl looked nervous but nodded.

"I…yes, that's right." She answered.

"So Lena's your mom? She always stated that Lori was an only child."

"Yes, well it's a complicated story. My father accused my mom of cheating on him."

"Because you look nothing like either of them?"

"Yes. It caused quite a lot of controversy as you can imagine. Uncle Lex helped hide it but those who knew, family, business partners and a few others, didn't like it. They agreed to stay quiet but insisted that something was done. I was sent away to distant cousins on my grandmother's side and was raised by them."

"I see… That makes sense, I guess. What caused you to come here?"

"My Uncle named me as his heir. He wants me to take over Lexcorp when the time comes."

"Why choose you, not Lori?"

"Hell if I know!" The girl looked furious now, her eyes almost red with anger but Lois didn't back off.

"But Lori's the elder is she not? And with all the controversy regarding your parentage…?" The girl interrupted her.

"This interview is over, Miss Lane!" She snapped as she turned and stalked out the room. Lois didn't follow her. She would leave the girl alone for now but she would have to do some digging later. It had raised her suspicions as soon as Lex introduced his niece to the populous. The girl's appearance not only looked nothing like Lex or Lena but she looked almost otherworldly. Her skin was so pale, she didn't really look alive. Her hair was too perfect and a very pure black, reminding Lois of a witch or the child of a devil. Her eyes were colourless, a pure black and she could swear that she could see no sign of a soul in them. And then there was her pet cat. A ginger molly, it sat in her arms and just stared. She knew something was up. It had to be. She was with Luthor after all.


Klara stormed into the office her uncle had provided for her, ignoring the woman assigned to be her bodyguard but not her cat. As she sat down, it jumped into her lap and she absentmindedly started stroking it, still fuming. "Klara? Is something wrong?"

"We have to do something about that woman, Talia!" she snapped. Talia al Ghul smiled slightly.

"What can we do? If we get Lex to step in, she'll become even more suspicious. And she's Superman's girlfriend so that rules out any…criminal methods. Face it, Klara. It's just one woman. As long as only one suspects something is up, we'll be fine. Just please try not to lose your temper again." Klara smirked.

"I'll see what I can do."
