"Why are you helping me, Mr. Luthor?" Malefic asked as he was in Lex's laboratory. "Has my brother or his allies…"

"…wronged me?" Lex asked as Malefic nodded. "Well… not directly. But they have stuck their noses far too often into the business of my associates. And it cost me a lot of resources and money." Malefic nodded. "To be clear, I have no interest in killing any of them. But I will, if I must." Lex showed the videos on the screen, showing Batman, Superman, Green Arrow and other heroes in action. "They see them as shining examples of hope. Something to look up to. I want to destroy that legend. Break them. Humiliate them. If you want to defeat a god, you must first make their followers lose faith in them."

Malefic nodded, interested.

"I've studied every member of the Justice League for years." Lex said. "And if not for me and my… associates, you'd be still in the Phantom Zone."

"I fail to see how does destroying this League benefit you." Malefic narrowed his eyes.

"You will see. They will all see soon." Lex promised, smirking. "You have the ability to do great thing, Malefic."

"I do not want to do great things. All I want, is for my brother to pay." Malefic said, losing patience. "Martian biology prevents a brother from harming his brother."

"That's why you've decided to target the people closest to J'onn J'onzz." Lex realized.

"Remove the barrier in my brain, so that I can finally fight my brother, I will do whatever you want." Malefic said.

"Deal." Lex smiled.


A.R.G.U.S.

"Is this going to work?" J'onn asked as Harry put a device on his own head.

"Only one way to find out." Harry said. "J'onn, try to command me to do something."

J'onn attempted to enter Harry's mind but he groaned in pain. "It's like if I hit a wall."

"Keep trying." Harry said. "We need to test the limits."

J'onn groaned, struggling to use his psychic powers until the device sparked and overloaded and Harry groaned as he dropped it. "Damn it."

"Sorry." J'onn breathed out. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Harry clutched his head. "I think we need to make this a bit more durable to endure the strain of a psychic attack."

"If we can't kill your brother, maybe we can contain him somehow." Cisco said. "I might have an idea."


Kara was walking down the hall as Barry accompanied her.

"How are you feeling?" Barry asked. Kara smiled, trying to get ahold of herself until a red light from one of the rooms shined on her as she shivered, getting a flashback as Barry held her hand. "Hey, hey. It's OK. I'm here, Kara. I'm here."

Kara took a breath. "I… I'm trying not to let it get to me."


They entered Conner's room as Conner was still in an induced coma.

"Is he alright?" Barry asked.

"We've tried to help him as much as we could and fix his brain but…" Caitlin sighed. "Look, we're not sure if we can risk waking him up and attacking someone again. Under any other circumstances, we'd ask J'onn to restore his memory but with Malefic interfering with his powers, it's too risky."

Kara and Barry sat next to Conner. "Hey, there, buddy."

"We're gonna fix you, Conner. I promise." Barry said as he and Kara held Conner's hand.


"They've been stealing biotech this whole time. Trying to duplicate metahuman powers somehow." Bruce surmised as he went over the reports.

"What, they want an army of metahumans?" Oliver asked.

"Or a small squad." Bruce noted.

"We're gonna have to find a way to stop Lex somehow." Clark said. "If your Lex is anything like my Lex, he wants to use the powers somehow. Duplicate them. We need to be careful."

"They just hit another target." Lyla said upon entering.


Palmer Tech, Star City

"Stealing from my company? Shame on them." Ray quipped as they snuck in, seeing the mercenaries steal the equipment.

"Technically, it was my company first." Oliver shrugged. "Let's be quick and stealthy."


Wally sped in, knocking out some of the mercenaries before Atom flew in, blasting them down. Tommy, Roy and Thea engaged the mercenaries with their bows, beating them. Rene and Dinah took cover before Dinah engaged them with her staff, while Rene fired with his guns.

"Ground floor's clear." Roy said.


"What exactly are they stealing?" J'onn wondered as he was in the lab area with Curtis, Nia and Alex.

"We're about to find out." Alex said, loading her gun.

Nia flipped to avoid the bullets before raising her hands, sending energy blasts and knocking down the mercenaries. Curtis threw his T-Spheres, taking down more mercenaries.

"You're not going to believe this, guys." Barbara said.

"What?" Bruce asked.

"I've got eyes on Luthor. He's on the rooftop." Barbara said.

"Are you sure it's him?" Oliver asked.

"I did thermal. Unless it's another shapeshifter, it can't be Clayface." Barbara said. "Although I don't like this. Him coming out in the open like that?"

"Something's wrong." Clark said.

"It's obviously a trap." Barry said.


They went up on the rooftop, facing Lex, Thawne, Malefic, Clayface and Harkness.

"Well, well, well, look who the cat drags down." Thawne gloated.

J'onn flew in as Barry appeared as well.

"I've always suspected that Lex on every Earth is dirty but you just took the cake. Kidnapping my cousin? Experimenting on her?" Clark sneered.

"Unfortunate but necessary, Clark." Lex said, taking him aback. "Yes, Thawne told me." He turned to the speedster.

"The age of heroes is at an end." Thawne gloated. "An age of injustice is coming."

"Why are you doing this?" Oliver demanded. "Thawne and the rest, I can understand but you, Lex?"

"Nothing personal, Mr. Queen." Lex smirked. "But… I've tried to play along with your buddies. But you are simply too idealistic to cross the lines you need to cross. This is the only way to make you understand. You need to be ready to sacrifice what you believe in."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Alex demanded.

"Why don't I show you?" Lex offered.

"Let me show you what happens, when you mess with my family." Barry sneered as he rushed at Lex in superspeed about to punch him.

"Barry, wait, don't—"

Barry was about to deliver supersonic punch but to Barry's surprise, Lex caught his hand like nothing. "What the—"

Lex twisted his wrist as Barry groaned in pain as bones cracked. "Thank you for this."

Lex threw Barry back as he was knocked down on the ground.

"How the hell did he do that?" Oliver demanded, all of them staring in disbelief.

"Doesn't matter." Bruce said before they had to dodge Harkness's boomerangs.


Malefic attempted to use his psychic powers but nothing happened, realizing they were blocking his powers somehow.

"I won't let you hurt anyone else, brother." J'onn said.

"Don't worry. The only person I'm going to hurt, is you." Malefic said, attacking J'onn mentally but J'onn barely blocked his mental attack, realizing his brother was much stronger than before they rushed at each other and flew up.


Clayface formed axes in his arms.

"Move!" Tommy ordered as they dodged. Tommy and Thea fired explosive arrows, but Clayface quickly recovered. Oliver fired an arrow that formed some ice in Clayface's chest, immobilizing him.

Harkness threw his boomerangs as Alex and Rene dodged, while Oliver and Tommy attacked him. Harkness blocked with his boomerangs as Oliver and Tommy tried to strike him. Harkness spun around as they jumped back. Tommy fired an arrow but Harkness blocked it.


Bruce threw batarangs at Lex, who, to their surprise, dodged with superspeed and knocked the rest of them down. Oliver, Bruce and Tommy recovered.

"Get down!" Nia ordered, using her precognitive abilities as they barely had time to dodge, while Lex fired energy blasts from his hands.


Malefic grabbed J'onn by his throat and slammed him to the ground. Malefic pummeled J'onn but J'onn pushed him back. "I thought you couldn't kill me."

"There are no strings on me this time, brother." Malefic said. Suddenly, Malefic touched J'onn's head as J'onn screamed in pain before passing out as Malefic flew up. Clark attempted to follow him but Malefic suddenly opened a portal into which Clark disappeared.


Thawne grabbed Barry and threw him off the rooftop. Barry recovered as they rushed down the windows, exchanging blows as Thawne smirked. This was not the naïve young boy Thawne had met years ago. This was him. The Barry Allen Thawne had hated to the core, his sworn arch-nemesis. Glass shattered as Barry threw lightning and Thawne dodged as an explosion followed, sending him flying back.

Thawne was burned but he started to heal fast. They were about to rush at each other before Thawne screamed in pain, falling on his knees as Kara showed up, glaring hatefully, her eyes flashing red.

"Get away from my husband." Kara sneered.


Tommy and Oliver rolled back to avoid Harkness's boomerangs. As they returned back to Harkness, Thea fired an arrow and Rene fired, to knock away the boomerangs before Harkness could catch them. Before Harkness could do anything else, Tommy shot him in the chest as Harkness fell down, coughing blood as light left his eyes.

"Pity. But no matter." Lex smirked, flying in the air. "Don't you see? You cannot defeat me!"

"What did you do?" Bruce demanded as they stared at Lex. He wasn't a metahuman, so how did he gain metahuman powers?

"I've become what I've aspired to be. Faster, stronger and superior than you. I am the savior of this world, not you!" Lex shouted.

"Savior? You've killed innocent lives! Experimented on people!" Oliver yelled, all of them shooting him incredulous looks.

"I am the savior of humanity! I am the pinnacle of human species!" Lex snarled madly. Clayface had freed himself and was about to smash them all with a hammer. "Karlo! No!"

"You promised me to get a shot at them." Clayface said.

"I said 'no'." Lex said.

"Screw you." Clayface was about to crush the heroes but suddenly, Lex fired some beam from his hand as Clayface screamed before he evaporated as they stared in shock.

"You killed him…" Tommy whispered, not believing what they were seeing.

"I don't take kindly to traitors." Lex said.

"We'll stop you." Bruce said.

"We shall see about that." Lex smirked before he opened a breach and disappeared.

"So, now we know why he stole all the biotech." Oliver said.

"He's found a way to replicate metahuman powers." Bruce finished.

"How are we gonna stop him?" Tommy wondered.

"I don't know." Bruce said.


Kara rushed at Thawne as he dodged and they exchanged blows. While Thawne had complete mastery over Negative Speed Force, his lack of any formal combat training gave Kara an edge as she hit him in the leg, breaking it as Thawne fell on his knees before Kara knocked him down.

Thawne laughed sadistically as he saw the look in Kara's eyes. "Don't. I know who you are, Kara Zor-El. You don't have the guts for this kind of justice."

"You experimented on me. Tortured me. You killed Barry's mother. You've tried to kill my friends and brainwashed Conner. With Rhea, Reign and the other I had a choice. This time, I don't." Kara said and the smile vanished off Thawne's face before she grabbed him by his throat and there was a loud, sickening 'crack' as Thawne went limp and Kara dropped his lifeless body on the ground as she breathed out.

"Kara…" Barry stared as he neared her, while she held his hand.

Suddenly, Thawne glowed green as he vanished in a glow of light.

"What the hell…"


"Where's Clark? What did he do with Clark?" Diana asked.

"It's a dimensional breach. Pocket dimension." Bruce realized as he reviewed the footage.

"Like with DeVoe." Barry realized. "That's why we couldn't find Lex."

"But now we can. We just need the right equipment." Bruce said. "Barry, call Cisco. We're going to build a portal and plan an attack."


Elsewhere

Thawne put down some goggles as he smirked. "Well, that hurt. For a clone."

"The Amazo virus worked. It duplicated your and their powers." Lex said.

"Well… why settle for just one? Let's bring in some friends." Thawne said as the door opened to reveal various villains, while Clark was trapped in some containment cell as Snart entered.

"I did what you wanted. All the items are yours." Snart said.

"You've upheld your end of the deal." Lex said. "Thank you, Mr. Snart."

"Your speedster friend saved me after that hellhole blew up. I owed you one." Snart said. "Now, is our business concluded?"

"That depends." Lex said. "I suspect your sister and Mr. Rory will be coming here soon. If you can convince them to go with you, then 'yes'. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee their safety. But try to do something ill-advised, such as turning on me, that will not end well." He lifted his hand and it glowed red as Snart narrowed his eyes.


I'm now going to do a poll here, and am about to include various villains later on. And to go through the rules, the villains can be any villain, who has appeared in this series or DC Comics or Arrowverse.

The limitations are: Any alien or supernatural villains that are very high-tier, such as Zod or Trigon are off-limits. Tough villains are acceptable but should not be too overpowered, such as Reign, Psi, Metallo, Icicle, Zoom, Bane, Jade Nguyen, the Joker etc. The villains can be any villain that has appeared in Arrow Seasons 1-5 (except for Adrian Chase, obviously), The Flash Seasons 1-3, Supergirl Seasons 1-3, Legends of Tomorrow Seasons 1-2 or this series, such as Takeo Yamashiro, John King, Richard Dragon, the Longbow Hunters, Joe Wilson etc. If it is a compelling villain, such as Malcolm Merlyn, China White etc., they are acceptable but not Ra's al Ghul, since I just don't see what I could do with him here.

So, what do you guys think?

Please review and let me know if you have been enjoying this and want for me to continue.
