Lena Luthor sat alone in her office at L-Corp, her swivel chair faced so that she was overlooking the entirety of National City below. A sadistic grin spread across her face as she gazed out her office window to the glowing buildings that dotted the night sky. Look at them all down there, all those normal and defenseless people, so innocent and unsuspecting that, literally right over their heads, a monster was lying in wait...

Lena's days of striving for the side of good were over. She'd suffered far too much pain and loss to think it was worth trying to clear her and her family's name anymore. Instead, she had finally chosen to embrace her family's evil legacy and name. It was all that she had left anymore anyway. It was all that she'd ever had. And she embraced that now. She was done fighting a losing battle. She was done trying to be good when she was destined to be a queen of evil. She was a Luthor now, and that was that. She was done being Lena.

Lena's steel-gray eyes were as cold and hard as the metal they resembled as she watched her pathetic kingdom down below from her throne up there on high. She laughed cruelly down at them. They were like ants to her from up here, just as small and insignificant. Lena rose from her chair, her throne, and pushed open her office windows, stepping onto her balcony. The night air was cool, crisp and refreshing. Lena took a deep breath in. It was like even the weather itself had realized that Lena was starting a new story, only this time, she was coming back as a monster. She was coming back a Luthor. She was Lena no longer. Only a Luthor remained.

AN: Just a plotless, random, 300-word AU about Lena embracing her inner villain and taking the first steps towards world domination. The next chapter continues and expands upon this scene, giving it more of a plot. SuperCorp-centered.
