Here's Chapter 25 for you guys


Chapter 25 part 1

"You're telling me what?… He did what?… Fine, I'll be there in half an hour. Do what you have to do," Lex said closing his cell phone.

Lex was having dinner with Lana when he got the call from his bodyguard about Calvin. To say he was pissed was an understatement. He didn't show his anger so Lana would not get suspicious of what he was doing.

"What's wrong Lex?" Lana asked.

Lex shook his head and looked at Lana, "Nothing, just some problems at the office. I have to go in a few minutes to fix this problem."

Lana nodded but she didn't believe he really was going to the office but before she could question him the lights flickered off.

"Lex, what is going on?"

Lex stood up quickly, "Stay here."

"Lex?"

"Just stay here. You'll be safe," Lex said.

He grabbed his gun and walked into his hallway looking for signs of intruders. He walked to the entrance to find his guards on the floor unconscious.

Lex walked outside trying to figure what happened but before he got the chance he was pulled up by a rope. He yelled in pain. Lex was hanging upside down. His eyes widened; he was looking at the Batman himself.

"Y-you're…"

"Your worst nightmare," Batman said darkly.

He dropped Lex but didn't let him hit the ground. Lex yelled for mercy and was pulled back up. Batman pulled Lex by his collar.

"Where is Richardson!"

"I-I don't know."

"I think you do Luthor. After all, you did hire him to do your dirty work."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

Batman dropped Lex again with the rope and as Lex yelled again he was pulled back up, "All right I will tell you what I know. Richardson is now known as Roger Spencer…"

"What drug did he develop?" the dark night demanded to know.

"H-he developed a drug called the Devil's Medicine. It's a mixture of green kryptonite and other chemicals. That's all I know. Please don't kill me."

"Don't lie to me! What else do you know?"

"The drug is injected into your head. It's a treatment to make it seem like you're in a comatose state. If you get too much of it, your brain shuts down completely. He's the reason why Calvin Garcia is missing but I don't know where he took him, you'd have to ask him."

"I'm asking you!"

"I-I don't know Richardson is crazy. He could have taken him anywhere. Please let me go."

Batman dropped Lex. Lex fell but not too hard. When Lex looked up the dark knight was gone. He stood up limping, picked up his gun and walked back into the mansion. The lights were back on and he saw his guards getting up slowly.

Lana ran to him and hugged him, "What happened to you?"

"I fell, I have to go," he took his keys and headed to his car.

Lana shook her head. Something was wrong but she couldn't figure out what.

Lois was now settled into a room in the Wayne Manor. Clark was talking to new doctors who would be treating Lois.

"If Mr. Garcia was here we could find out what Spencer did to your wife."

"Why would you need Calvin?" Clark asked.

"Calvin is an expert in finding treatments. He does have a Bachelor degree in Medicine and Surgery."

"He is only twenty-two am I right?" Clark asked.

"Let's just say he is a genius for his age," Bruce said coming in. He greeted the doctors and Clark.

Bruce and Clark walked out letting the doctors run some tests on Lois to see what was in her system.

"Where were you?"

"I was out trying to find answers about Calvin's whereabouts and I see you got Lois out of there."

"Yea about that, I kind of sort of kidnapped her."

Bruce shook his head but said nothing. He started walking down the library to his office as Clark followed him.

"What did you find?" Clark asked.

"Spencer injected Lois with a drug he made himself. He calls the drug the Devil's Medicine and he kidnapped Calvin with the help of Lex."

Clark sat down, "Where do we go from here?"

"We treat Lois here and find Calvin before its too late."

Clark nodded, "Lex was behind all of this?"

"All of it. By the way, where are Diana and Chloe?"

"They're up in their room talking. I think you need to talk to Diana when you can."

"Why?"

"Just talk to her."

"I will. Now tell me: how did you break Lois out?"

"Well…it happened…."

Calvin was hooked up to tubes and wires. He was beaten up pretty badly but someone had done their best to bandage the wounds. He was still alive but barely. He couldn't open his eyes since they were swollen but he could hear voices talking.

"What the hell happened?" It was Lex's voice.

"Spencer started beating up Calvin with a lead pipe but a guard managed to stop him," the doctor said.

"Damnit! What the hell is wrong with him?"

"I don't know, sir, he lost control," the doctor said.

"What's Calvin condition now?"

"He's alive but barely. He's suffering from broken ribs, a shoulder blade, his knee the list goes on. Basically he is a mess."

Lex sighed, "Will he live?"

"Yea I guess. We will be a keeping an eye on him during the night."

"Fine do what you have to do to keep him alive."

"Yes, sir."

Lex left and the doctor sat down next to Calvin, "I wish I could get you out of here."

Calvin opened his swollen eye and whispered, "Then do it."

"I-I can't. He would kill me."

"Get me out of here and I promise you, you will be safe."

"I can't, I'm so sorry."

The doctor left Calvin. He contemplated on Calvin's words. He seemed genuine but it was a big risk he could not take.
