When I woke up again, I was bound on a chair. My tools were confiscated, which meant that I could not escape.
"Lex Corp has all the technology to defeat you superheros." I saw Lex walking toward me. "Even those who use magic can not escape from here." He paused. "Relax; I value your privacy, so I didn't put off your mask. I understand. No matter what superpower you have, sometimes you can't save everyone: your family, your friends, your beloveds. But a mask can. A mask hides your identity and thus it protects your family, friends and beloveds. Am I right, Mr. Nightwing?"
"Where are others?" Asked I.
"I carefully designed particular cells for each of you, to eliminate your superpower. Yours is the simplest one, and you know why." Lex laughed.
"You must be curious about why I clone Superman." He continued. "It's true that this world need Superman who is the most powerful member in Justice League. But what if he turns to evil? What if Superman wanted to destroy this planet? What if he brings earth its doomsday? There must be someone who can defeat him. Yeah. Yes. Kryptonite can defeat him, even kill him. But there is no enough Kryptonite on earth, which means that humans have no ability to protect themselves from Superman. You think other superheroes like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern can stop Superman? No! I have calculated that. The highest victory rate is of Lantern who gets his power from the OA planet as we all know, but the rate is just 9%. We can not defeat Superman. Even I, Lex Luthor, the most intelligent man in the world, can not stop Superman for one minute with the rare Krypton which can just make Superman feeble and powerless but still with the ability to kill me.
"Thus, I started the K.R. Plan- to clone an all-new Superman who will always obey my order. In order not to be detected by Justice League, I transferred my lab to Lumine, one of son companies of Lex Enterprise. I got Superman's DNA from his blood- it's really difficult to bleed the man of steel- and mix it with my DNA from my blood. After thousands of unsuccessful experiments, I had the embryo of Superboy. Although Superboy is less powerful than Superman, he's more intelligent than him since he has part of gene from me. And his intelligence will enable him to stop Superman.
"Now you see. I'm doing no criminal. I'm trying to save the earth."
No, you can not deceive me. I shouted, "If so, what about the genetic modified creatures? The Pterodactyls? Your can not cheat me, Lex Luthor. You are actually building an army!"
"I could not have detected you if the pterodactyls had not seen you. Only one artificial superhero is not enough. He needs assistants, doesn't he?"
"First," Said I, "Superman will never betray the planet where he grew up. And second, even if he betrays it, it would not be you who stop him. Luthor, what you want are just power, fame, wealth. You wanna control the earth, don't you?"
"Everything requires a leader." Said Lex. "You need understand."
Dear Luthor, it's a mistake for you not to undo my suit. My gloves are still working: They are my last tool with which I can escape from my cell. I got a little knife from my right glove and when Lex was backing me, I cut the rope. It was really difficult to cut such a thick rope with my, I can say, tiny knife.
Lex was still enjoying his long speech about stopping Superman, when I exerted myself to deal the rope. Lex was too confident-too confident to handle me. I successfully cut the rope. Victory!
For Lex, it was too late to find his eletrogun when I jumped forward him.
"You should have upgraded my cell rather than boast your damn plan, Lex." Shouted I when I seized his neck. "Now, tell me. Where are my friends?"
"Calm down, young fellah." Said Lex. "Calm down. I'll release your friends. But do you really think you can escape? Don't forget I still have Superboy." He smiled leisurely.
"Not any longer, Luthor." It was Raven. Goodness! It was Raven! She escaped from her cell and saved others.
"What? That's impossible!" Lex was shocked. "I... I... Designed your cells so perfectly."
"In your mind only." Aqualad came. "Remember, never look upon us."
Lex was so angry and disappointed that he shouted to his final savior. "Superboy! Come and KILL them! ALL OF THEM!"
"I don't think he will obey your orders any more." Said Cyborg. "Come, Conner, who is on our side."
"Conner? You even named him?" Said I. "Not a bad name! But how you guys calm him down?"
"That's a long story. We'll tell you after taking Lex to the Justice League cell." Said Cyborg.
Superboy appeared in the air. Like Superman, he could fly. "Lex, I forgive you and what you've done to me. And I beg your pardon, friends."
Lex was so disappointed and hopeless that he was on his knees. "At least I still have plan B. But before that, you can send me to Justice League. Well, I... Surrender."
"Call Justice League, Cy." Said I. "Tell them we've got Lex Luthor, and don't forget, without their help." This was a perfect happy ending, wasn't it?
