Chapter 1
The sewers under Gotham were dark and flooded after the week long rain storm. Jason Gabriel walked slowly through one of the remaining empty dry tunnels, trying to find the valve that opened the gates that allowed the water to run out into the bay. He stopped and shined his flashlight around him.
"Just a rat" he said to himself, in a failed attempt to calm down. He continued on and came out to the valve, located on a walkway covered with water already. He cursed under his breath and slowly made his way out onto the walkway. He had his back to the water. Unaware a set of red eyes were watching him hungrily. Jason glanced over his shoulder and thought he saw something retreat under the water. He reached his destination and started turning the rusty valve.
All at once he heard a loud splash and was picked up off the ground by a pair of muscular arms wrapped around his chest and shoulders. He looked up to see a pair of scaly red eyes, and a wide mouth full of sharp teeth. His last sight was the inside of the mouth as it wrapped around his head. The creature chewed and swallowed and started on the main course, finishing in several seconds it then dived back into the water and swam down to it's lair.
Lex Luthor reclined in his chair at Lexcorp. He pressed a button on his desk and a TV screen lowered from the ceiling and show video images from several different places. A yellow and red figure dashing around Keystone City committing crimes, another showed a riot in Arkham led by a green haired maniac followed closely by a large muscular man, a green woman wearing leaves, and the last showed the death of Jason Gabriel under Gotham. Lex pressed the button again and the screen raised up out of sight.
"Soon, yes soon it will come" Lex said, as the alarm sounded and the door to his office was ripped open by Superman. He walked across the floor with a purpose.
"I'm taking you in Luthor" he said, no nonsense as always Luthor mused.
"Take me in, why we used to be such good friends" Lex replied, Superman's face gained a pained expression.
"That was a long time ago Lex" he said, as he reached to grab him Lex pulled a glowing green rock from his desk and held it out. Superman recoiled and fell to the ground, Lex moved over to the prone form and placed it close to the prone hero. He walked over to the cabinet in his office and opened it to reveal a suit of green and purple armor.
"You know how much I love your company Clark but I really must run. Places to go villains to recruit you understand" Lex said, laughing at his own joke before making his way up to the roof. He flew up into the night sky.
