Lex looked outside from the top of Luthorcorp, the tallest building in Metropolis; Clark had the nerve to have him arrested. The former Officer O Conner is apparently in Rio with Mia Toretto but those two no longer matter and an ex fed will not be easy to track down, his main concern is Clark, he's been waiting for a week, and Clark still hasn't made a move while it seemed like he was heading for war.

Lex looked and heard his cell phone go off. He sees it's the one Clark took off the guards and answered. "You know you keep talking about showing the world what a monster you are… must be stage fright, you always did have a problem trusting people."

"I'm getting better at it." Clark replied.

Lex had a crooked smirk. He wanted to get Pete or Lois but Green Arrow has a tendency to show up whenever he works in Star City. "So, why do I deserve a call from the mysterious Kal El.?"

Clark held the phone to his head flipping a page this stuff is interesting. "Just rummaging, so where are you exactly?"

Lex looked at the phone at a bit in disbelief. "I'm at my new apartment having a quiet game of pool."

Clark laughed into the phone. "That was weak coming from you."

Lex looked out the windows but no sign of him. "You must really have supervision if you think you know where I am."

Clark laughed in his old penthouse he owned as Kal; once again Lex just has to have what he has. "No Lex, it's just, if you were at my old apartment, we'd be having this confrontation face to face." Lex's eyes widen as Clark hung up the phone.

Lex walks with caution this time, guards walking right behind him. He won't just kidnap Clark to talk, he made it too personal last time. With the wraith gone, Clark is his sole remaining source of Alien peptides for project Ares. "Switch back to the green they'll disable him and keep him weak for transport."

The janitor watched the guards and grunts escorting Lex there's so many of them it's like an imperial march. He must still be licking his wounds after his last fight. The janitor calmly walked into Lex's office and went to work as she pulled up her hat letting her hair out revealing Giselle.

Giselle pulled out an external hard drive and quickly plugged it in to the computer along with a headset for her left ear. "Oh great, I hope you have an idea for a password, or this is going to be for nothing."

"9131951" Clark replied.

Giselle typed it in, only to see password denied. "What else you got two more before we get booted?"

"6131992" Clark offered.

Giselle typed that in but got the same result. "Nope, and if this doesn't work the plan is going to be much harder." She hears a loud slam and can only wonder. As it sounded like something exploded. "What was that?"

"That was the sound of a pool table, hitting an SUV." Clark replied looking at the wrecked car. What could Lex use as a password? He knows it wouldn't be Lana's… and it's not Lillian or Julian's birthday; oh please let him be wrong on this. "211 1993"

Giselle typed in the code and took a breath of relief seeing password granted and immediately started copying every file on the computer. "What's the date?"

"It's the day his mother died." Clark replied. He watched as gas grenade came into the room and started unleashing green kryptonite gas into the apartment. Clark looked at the gas fill the apartment; he shrugged and just threw the couch through a window and into another SUV.

Giselle smiled and pulled out the portable hard drive. Lex's main hard drive was now copied to hers. "OK, that's it we're all clear get out of there."

Clark nodded, easily dodging a trio of green kryptonite bullets. "Just tell me when you're clear of Luthorcorp.

Lex entered the shattered remains of what used to be his apartment. He did it again; Clark destroyed another home of his. He sees his computer and turns on the monitor and looked at it with a smile seeing the access denied screen... though now a good part of him wonders why exactly Clark was here? Lex took a step back and ended up stepping on a gun. Clark would never use one so his girl must have been here too. "I want this place put back together. I want to know exactly what they took."

Giselle looked around at one of the tallest buildings in Metropolis. It's been abandoned for years, but from the top of it, you can see all of Metropolis. Clark picked a good hiding spot to get everything together for this job. Giselle sat down and calmly typed away on the computer system Clark set up from fencing a small amount of gold. She took so much data; she wonders what exactly it is Clark is looking for. She watched as a reject from ET comes through the door in a full hazmat suit.

The reject removes the helmet revealing Clark as he pulls the rest of the suit. "Man, I really got a find a way to make this thing more comfortable."

"You're walking around in sixty pounds of lead, how is it supposed to feel?" Giselle pointed out.

Clark sat down next to her. "So, did we at least get something useful?"

Giselle typed in level 3. "I'm about to find out."

Clark looked and an unexpected number came up. "33.1… I know that from Chloe's personal stuff, something she did with a girl named Andrea, but that's all I know, can you open it?"

Giselle clicked and opened the folder. She sees lab equipment bills and detailed files on different people, who are these people, they look so sad. "Who are they?"

"They're the meteor infected." Clark answered recognizing a few of them, he was wondering how to take Lex down and now it seems like he has his answer. "Now we know where Lex is keeping them… soon the rest of the world is going to know too."

Giselle looked at him. "OK, so how are we doing this."

"We're going to need a team." Clark replied.

Giselle looked through the files. "Fortunately for us, Lex has an army."

Clark shook his head. "As soon as we free one, all the meteor freaks will be moved if not killed. It's one of the other reason I haven't killed Lex. His successor might just kill them all to destroy the evidence. Lex's obsession is so twisted he won't."

Giselle shakes her head. "No one would ever report a meteor freak missing to Luthor. They'd appear weak." Giselle smiled this was going to be fun. "Do you have any particular people in mind?"

Clark nodded seeing her point. "We're going to need a tech person, someone really good with computers… and I know exactly who sad to say."

Clark easily unlocked the door to the cell in the Seattle 33.1. He turned and looked in the room and saw a beautiful woman in glasses, but a tired and beaten down one. He took off the hazmat helmet knowing how much kryptonite is in these facilities.

The woman looked at him. "I know you, you were the first person to stop me, you said you'd help me, but you left me alone with Lex. You left me in this hole for three years."

Clark looked at her feeling a tinge of guilt with how she's been taken advantage of, but to be fair she had him nearly do the unthinkable. He looked at Molly Griggs; with Chloe gone he doesn't know anyone quite that good with computers. "To be fair, I nearly ran down my best friend because of you."

Molly shook her chains showing her level of empathy. "Trust me, I paid for it."

"And trying to kill Lex last year?" Clark asked. Molly turned her head stunned by Clark's words. "Andrea is a friend of mine."

Molly weakly nodded of course she is, Clark Kent, friend to all freaks when he's not gathering the bodies up for Luthor. "Funny I never killed anyone, but you let her go free."

"She learned, you didn't." Clark replied. He just wishes he was able to find her again.

Molly leaned back seeing the camera down. "So, let's talk business. What do you want and why are you here?"

Clark smiled that's an easy one. "I want to free everyone here, I want Lex to spend the rest of his life with no money, no power, and locked in a cage for everything he's done. Sadly, I'm not half as good with technology as you are."

Molly listened to him. "You're not anywhere near where I am with a computer… but here's the twist… I'm in. I don't care if it's back to belle reeve after this I just want out of this hellhole. I want some hope that I can have my life back after pissing it away again last year."

Clark nodded. "Just keep in mind you already have two strikes, you try to kill anyone, I'll throw you back into a mental facility, and it will probably be hours before you're right back here. But I want you Molly… I think I might rephrase that."

"I'd appreciate it if you did." Molly replied as Clark broke her chains.

Clark leaned back and saw Molly go to work on the computer the girl is like a machine.

Molly looked up. "OK, so who else is joining this little freak show?"

Clark thought about it. "When we get to the main part of the job, we're going to need containment so no one gets hurt. Last year I was assaulted by three meteor freaks, two of them were able to build a forcefield."

"Oh crap, not the albino twins." Molly let out in a whine.

Giselle looked at her. "What's wrong with them?"

"They have a thing for me." The hacker confessed.

Giselle looked at her, that's why she's upset. "You can't deal with it."

Molly shakes her head. "Not when they finish each other's sentences… its creepy hearing a flirt start with one, and then ending with the other."

Clark closed the book he was looking at getting the two to focus. "Look… Molly if you can find someone stable with the same powers, we'll use them, but in the meantime we need a way to get Lex's fingerprints retina scan and signature."

Molly nodded. "Is that it… because that's really easy? A girl I met in the Detroit facility. She's about to be put on a leash for good behavior but I'm sure you can offer her a better deal."

Clark walked into the cell in the Detroit facility. He lifted the lead helmet up and saw a little girl in pigtails all chained up.

"Please sir, just let me go, I won't tell anyone, honest." The girl offered in a sickeningly sweet tone.

Clark looked at her almost sickened but laughing. That was lame and disgusting even for him. "Thanks Eva, now instead of offering you a way out, I gotta go find some insulin."

The little girl morphed into an adult blond as her legs touched the floor. "Easy pal, I just no TV they just don't let us do that much… how do you know me?"

"Molly Griggs recommended you for a job." Clark replied.

Eva looked at him. "And what is this job."

"Ruining Lex Luthor's life, and setting every single person in 33.1 free."

Eva smiled she was about to go to work for them but if she can stick it to them and get free she's doing that. "I'm in."

Clark broke the restraints on her feet. "So… Eva Greer, is that really your name?"

Eva looked down at him as he went for the one around her waist. "You got a problem with my name?"

Clark shook his head and broke the one at her waist. "No, I'm just wondering if you had any relationship with a girl named Tina."

Eva smiled as Clark looked into her eyes. "Sorry but just me. Why were you curious?"

Clark shakes his head breaking her wrist bonds and freeing her. "Nothing, just this thing about Greers, Smallville, and shape shifters."

Clark walked into the watchtower with Eva and saw Molly hard at work. "Still can't find a barrier guy?"

Molly shook her head. "I'll find one… think I might be onto something here."

Clark looked at her. "Well me and Eva have jobs to do. If you can't find one by the time we get back, I'm going for the twins."

Eva looked at him. "And what exactly am I supposed to do?"

Clark looked at Giselle it would be so easier to just have him do it. "We need you to get all five of Lex's fingerprints."

Eva groaned; she should have stayed in the cage. "And how am I supposed to do that."

Giselle checked her gun. "It's a woman's job… do we have to explain it."

Eva shook her head as the realization hit. "What's his type?"

"Clark told me of Lex's pattern for one night stands." Molly brings up a long list of similar looking women. Eva looks at all the pictures, all are very beautiful brown to black hair but they all look the same. "Please tell me that's what his second wife looked like."

Clark shakes his head. "Sorry, but it's his mother."

The shape shifter rolls her eyes, hmm 13's head, 27's beautiful blue eyes, number 3's hair, and a slender voluptuous body. Eva's body became what she thought. "What a Freak, so how do I look?"

"Like a cheap whore." Molly replied as she turned to Clark. "So where are you going?"

"I gotta pay a visit to the only billionaire I think don't quite know." Clark replied

Eva went her way and Clark went his until Giselle followed him into a private room the two have been sharing since starting this.

Giselle looked at him uneasy. "Are you sure there isn't another company you can steal this thing from, does it have to be there?"

Clark frowned he never thought she'd care. "He's just a man."

Giselle shook her head. "But the things I've heard… what he's capable of."

Clark started running through what he heard, the power of Google. "Believed to make explosions with his hands, his fists are so lethal they turn into lightning, and some people say he can flat out fly."

"He also killed at least two cops and a DA… you be careful out there." Giselle warned.

Clark held her close and kissed her deeply pulling her to him.

Giselle pulled him closer lost in the moment until she has to stop if just to come up for air. "Wow, even last time in Metropolis, you never kissed me like that."

"I'll be back and I'll head the other way if I see him. Just watch Molly OK?" Clark asked as Giselle nodded in agreement. "I shouldn't be that long."

Giselle waited with Molly and looked at the screen; maybe it will be good for Clark to be taken in. Well Clark did say find someone with the same power and they'd use him… well she technically did. "Dios Mio"

Six hours later Eva was the first one back, draping a red strapless dress over her arms. "OK, I got what you guys needed."

Giselle looked at her holding a flash light. "Where exactly are they?"

Eva took the flashlight and ran it all over the dress revealing handprints all over it. "He's very clingy."

Molly looked at it. She can almost feel her stomach turning. "Please tell me you didn't, not with him?"

Eva rolled her eyes. "I didn't." She turned to Giselle. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a hot shower, and think of Molly until the images of Lex go away."

Giselle only let out a smirk as Molly's eye rose up in surprise. There's a woman's job line here somewhere but she'd rather not.

Clark entered Watchtower with a flash drive, a piece of paper, and today's newspaper for some reason.

Giselle looked at him. Shouldn't he be holding something bigger? "I thought you were going for a weapon?"

"I was, and I did." Clark replied not expecting how it went. "I was in an off the books R&D lab, I even had the thing in my hands."

Giselle looked at him confused. "Why didn't you take it with you?

Clark shrugged and answered honestly. "I recognized what one of their tanks look like painted black, I realized what Bruce Wayne does in his free time, and I realized it would be easier to just make our own." He put down the separate piece of paper revealing they were hand copied blueprints he copied from the original.

Giselle looked at what else was in his hands. "So, why do you have a newspaper?"

Clark opened it up to the local news and sees a picture of a shape shifted Eve driving her fist into Lex's face. "Memorabilia"

Giselle rolled her eyes. "Molly?"

The hacker came down and looked at the two. "So what can I do for you?"

Clark gave Molly the piece of paper holding the weapon's blueprints. "Have Eva go collect the parts for this. And see where she can get them."

Molly nodded. "Well that's a cool weapon it will be like last fall only where we want it to. So, where are you two going?"

"We're off to collect Mr. & Mrs. Smith." Giselle answered.

Clark followed Giselle on to the property and saw an unhealthy amount of burn marks. "Who lives here, the Unabomber?"

Giselle shakes her head. "A couple lived here. Well, they did when they weren't stationed half way around the world."

Clark stopped at a gunshot to his feet seeing a gun toting army blond. Giselle quickly pulled out one and aimed.

"We're not here for a fight Mrs. Keenan." Giselle ordered but not lowering her weapon. One bright side to a bullet proof boyfriend he's the perfect cover.

The blond girl looked at them. "Same time."

Giselle nodded as each girl put away their gun. "Clark, meet Jodi Keenan."

Clark gave an innocent wave. "Hello"

"Hi" Jodi replied. "What do you two want; I'm a very busy woman?"

Clark nodded; he doesn't think he wants to know what she's been busy with. "We'd like to talk to you about your husband."

Jodi glared at the two, more Luthor cover ups. "My husband is dead."

"Your husband is alive." Giselle cut her off. "And somewhere inside I think you know that."

Jodi looked at Giselle not expecting this; her plan was to force a one on one confrontation with Lex, hope for the best. "I... he's alive, then where is he?"

Giselle opened a folder she took from Clark. "Your husband was duped by Lex Luthor, he signed up for what he thought was a missing limbs program, but Lex used him as a guinea pig. He is being used as a prototype in something called project Ares."

Jodi looked at it. "So why didn't you take this to the proper authorities?"

Clark shook his head and flipped the page. "Lex, he has his hands in deep pockets, including a US Senator who is gladly offering up the bodies."

Jodi looked through it. "So what do you want me to do about it?"

Clark looked at her. "We're going to get your husband. We'd like you to come with us."

"Why?" Jodi asked. So far it seems like they're just taking her along for the ride.

Giselle frowned, she can't imagine what she'd do if this was done to Clark, or someone else she cared for. "Lex made him the perfect soldier by taking away his mind, but the hold is fragile, we're hoping that seeing you might temporarily break it while Clark fries all the connections that makes him Lex's robot."

Jodi looked at them. As crazy as it sounds, it sounds legit. She doesn't think anyone can make a story like that up, and Lex would declare Wes dead because of all the laws that would break. "If you can bring Wes back to me, I'll walk through the fires of hell for you."

"Welcome to the team." Clark replied.

Clark hit the wall with a wallop as he falls to the ground. He's not sure how much more of this the Reeves Dam can take, or him for that matter. He coughs up a bit of blood; he swears this is strike three for Molly. Wes does have the twins' forcefield powers, he also has Emily Dinsmore's superspeed, Graham's invisibility and hits like a hammer thanks to some dead guy called Titan according to Molly.

"Brainwave, where are the girls." Clark asked.

"They'll be here just give them a little more time." Molly replied.

Clark got to his feet. "Easy for you to say, you don't have to fight a guy you can't see."

"Listen" Molly offered.

Clark rolled his eyes; sadly he didn't have a better idea so he kept calm and focused on his super hearing. He heard a footstep and quickly turned around and decked Wes in the face knocking him into the wall leaving a dent in it. Clark ran up to punch the short haired Wes Keenan again only for Wes to catch his arm and bend it behind his back until something broke.

Jodi ran in with Giselle. "Wes, stop!"

Jodi looked at her husband as he calmly held a knife and approached her. "Wes, look at me! We both served in the army. You pulled me out of the trenches Wes, you never gave up one me, and I'm not giving up on you now. You are my husband and I know you are strong enough to fight this. I love you Wes, now please come back to me."

Wes struggles against his conflicting emotions and his new programming. After a moment, his whole tone and face changes and he looks at Jodi with a new sense of understanding.

Jodi turned to Clark. "Whatever you're going to do… do it now."

Clark went into X-ray vision his eyes witched from Blue to red. "Wes, just try to focus on Jodi."

Wes nodded as he grunted in pain feeling several burns in his head and spine. Clark kept focused using very little heat vision focused through his eyes like a scalpel destroying all the mind control technology thanks to Molly being able to understand it.

Wes looked at them as Emily's hyper metabolism heals his face wounds. "Oh Jodi, I'm so sorry."

Wes fell to his knees and Jodi just quietly held him. "It's OK, you're safe, and you're home."

Clark looked to Giselle. "What took you two so long?" He knocked out every guard on the way here.

Giselle looked at him for a moment before deciding no time like the present. She pulls out a bracelet with a blue stone on it. "I figured you could learn how to fight."

Clark looked at her. "I know how to fight."

Giselle looked at him for a moment, he can't fight he's just used to being able to bulldoze anything in his way. She simply replied. "No you don't." Giselle looked at him and whispered something in his ear that caused Clark to smile… that too. Well he can learn something new since they're waiting for the drivers at this point.
