Chapter 12
Lois quickly dressed leaving the window open to air out the room she smirked to herself how could she have lived without Clark Kent, was beyond her. Going over the research than just had brought to the office she was surprised when she had discovered and had a very strong feeling of who was behind these mystery incidences throughout the city and looking at this information it looked like it was going to become global.
She exited the office in a making her way over to Perry's office bursting through the door startling Perry and a visitor in his office both men watched her for a moment as she spoke.
Perry I need you to look at this I think I've discovered who's behind the incidences throughout the city and if I'm not mistaken there about to go global.
Lois can't you see I'm in a meeting.
She glances over at the gentleman sitting in the chair noticing it was Jack Stevenson she was a bit as primus at first I remembered Perry had mentioned something about jack being an old friend and he was planning to help him out.
Lois I'd like you to meet Jack Ste-
Jack Stevenson it's a pleasure to meet you I hear you're retiring and nobody in your family wants to take over the business.
Very impressive young lady carry speaks very highly of you and your husband my wife and I are huge fans of your work Harry also he tells me that you too are his greatest reporters.
That we are Mr. Stevenson thank you.
Well old friends I see my company will be in good hands that is if we can put an end to these mysterious incidences surrounding my company's holdings.
Trust me old friend Lois and Clark are the best if Lois says she's found a connection that's good enough for me.
She showed both men the research that Jessica had searched for she went on to show them newspaper clippings photographs pretty much a who's who giving her thoughts and narrowing down the search neither of them were surprised by partial involvement by LexCorp, yet these other players were different these were some of intergang most top hired guns involved made it more interesting however, Lois and Perry knew intergang as well as LexCorp, wouldn't it be so blunt or public with these kind of activity too much attention to themselves this player was bigger and had a grander plans. She showed them the final image of lex and Bruno leaving Metropolis' skyplaza restaurant she pointed out the strange symbol on the collars of their jackets.
Lois this is unbelievable as we can connect both of them to these events by the same time stopping whoever else they're working with both will go to prison for a very long time.
The city metropolis will finally see Lex Luther, and his true colors finally
Excuse me. Perry Lois how exactly does this involve my company's holdings and of other companies throughout the city.
Mr. Stevenson is incidences are happening around your company's holdings for a reason lacks the obviously knows you are due to retire as such your company is a prime target the first of many so by forcing you out and a hostile takeover LexCorp can easily by apple and property in even a few partners with the daily planet he would soon set his sights here as well.
And if these pictures, are any indication old friend their moving up the timetable stretching out and making it global.
Do not worry Mr. Stevenson Clark and I will keep digging into we find a connection and bring them both to justice.
Thank you Ms Lane and your husband as well if any of the articles I read by you and him I know that you both will find the truth and justice will be done.
Jack should both their hands Perry escorted him through the bullpen as they continued to talk Lois took all of the chairs and research making her way back to the office was time for Lois and Clark to save the world once again and show the world the wheel Lex Luther.
Clark returned an hour later she had told him everything showed in evidence of not just locks and Bruno but the industry partner brainiac to say he was shocked by this news was an understatement knowing that Lex had learned nothing from his previous encounters with brainiac of course he did not remember most of them yet to subject himself again was a comprehensible.
They informed the others everyone would meet watchtower now they knew their industry opponents it was time to prepare.
Justice league watchtower orbital station
Lois was amazed by the watchtower a grand space station that her husband led some of the greatest heroes and she herself was his second in command the mere thought overwhelmed her, yet having Clark's arm around her waist she knew her place was always to stand by his side to inspire the world be better.
Walking towards the hall of heroes room their children in front of them walking proudly C.J. every bit his father and her Elie was every bit like her and her father placing a hand on her stomach she knew the same would be for this little one as well she finally understand the greatest achievement in her life is her family and because of that she and Clark make the world that much greater not only for their own children for all families around the world.
They entered the room everyone stood as the two took their seats at the head of the table in the room hangs a painting the Justice League American along with other artifacts of the past heroes that came before a new portrait hangs in the hall the new justice league heroes yet it was more than that it also showed the younger generation because the portrait represented family.
Clark and she sat at the top center of the table on the right of Superman Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Zatanna, Dr. Fate star girl, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Martian man hunter, Cyborg, Black Canary Green Arrow to round out the table.
They informed everyone of what they discovered not at all surprised since they all had a feeling. What is to come in the days ahead this time they were ready this time the truth would be known and the people of the world would know the truth. The meeting lasted for nearly 2 hours putting in place safeguards and contingencies or for the coming battle they had been prepared since their last encounter with brainiac a year and this time he once and for all he would finally be stopped.
Everyone resumed daily activity until the appropriate time for they all knew Lex and Bruno would eventually, become overconfident and challenge the other forcing brainiac hand to be played far sooner than he intended Lois and Clark gave an update telling him, they were close to finding a connection between the two men and these incidences surrounding Mr. Stevenson's company holdings and that the median deal between his company and the daily planet should proceed as planned a selection of five Bruce Wayne to acquire land company rights to slow LexCorp takeover plans.
A few days later a LexCorp announced a new partnership with Mannheim Entertainment he announced to the press that it will be a bold new step and digital media and how people view sports news television and even social networking. Perry said in his office replaying the digital feed from Lex is press conference earlier that morning switching off the monitor he turned and faced the bullpen telling everyone there was news to be printed truth to uncover he bellowed that statement and everyone in the bullpen ran straight to work right away Perry White, ran a very tight ship after all this was the daily planet and the icon of truth and justice the last true symbol of what true in journalism is.
Perry also knew the smoke screen when he heard one he had been in the journalists and business long enough to spot a mile away like the old saying "It's better to sell a lie than the truth." Politicians' businessmen, extremists' tyrants' dictators they'll use this method to hide things from others to serve their own goals at the expense of others. A especially in this digital age where truth is skewed more and more yet the same time even easier to see if only given the proper told to open one's eyes.
Well today those tools will be uncovered in the world will find the knows the true of old and has been hidden and will be no place for men like Luther Mannheim or any other to hide
The daily planet once again lead the charge and bring about choosing just as to the world as it always hands and will always remain a true beacon of hope for truth justice and integrity.
All right lane Kent we've got a story that's going to change the world and this old news handed is ready to hunt so what you say we go save the world?
Clark and Lois looked at each other in surprise by Perry his words yet could see the fire in his eyes he was ready to bring down Lex Luther once and for all.
Both: you got it chief.
Then been this much excitement in the bullpen and a longtime and to see their boss their friend pounded a beat chasing lead and warm and both their hearts to know that finally the world wake to a new era.
Excited Lois to see her husband and her boss and everyone else working in rare for one with a common pursuit of truth and knowing that she was a major part of its Perry had called some old contacts that still had their ear in certain circles and truly amazed Lois and Clark to see him in action for this is one of the main reasons that became journalists to make a true difference in the world and make it that much brighter even jack Stevenson lend a hand in bringing down all these lies and deceptions to those that ran this little deception they were all in for a big surprise.
A week later the incidences had intensified Lex Bruno had pushed their agendas causing conflict between the two their partnership quite sound to the public yet the two men were faced with opposition in each other's approach in dealing with the public, however they shared a common understanding that they would divide the city equally and systematically take apart the piece at a time however, their plans would oppose by the justice league, frustration between the two men mounted with the constant upsets by the justice league interference they decided to have a meeting with their private partner.
How is the project's progress Mannheim?
Same as always Lex things are tight lid on schedule a time telling you I think it's time we pushed back against the justice league.
Agreed I grow tired of their interference as well it's time we moved up the timetable and brought to the table our ace informed the others project Areas is a go.
Gladly Lex that by justice league.
Indeed Bruno.
I am curious to Lex once there is no longer needed how exactly do we get rid of it? I don't want to face another incident much like last time there has to be something to an end it should the project become unstable.
Trust me I'm well aware of what happened last time and it will not happen again that little or signed will be taken care of decisively should it services no longer be required.
Both men exited the limousine and entered the building to meet with their private partner unbeknownst to them their partner had the monarchs from their reverie and had grown tired of their arrogance proclaiming themselves superior forehead was then and their services that were no longer required project areas was income and now.
Brainiac: these foolish humans that cannot begin to comprehend what I am or what I can do, trying to control me to be used as a puppet for them fools they think their intellect is superior to my own. They will learn as all species in the universe will understand brainiac's superior intellect is absolute neared speck in the vast universe however before I finally deal with the humans I must deal with their champions the battle begins.
