Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.

Reviews were down but now they're back up. YES!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone.

Chaos Sorcerer: Thanks for the review. Yes, I loved her in Merlin too. And she is shippable with everyone literally. Also, I asked this in last chapter's A/N but what do you think of a ship between Season 2 versions of Oliver and Lena? No kidding on Triss. Cassidy Freeman would have been great. Or Emma Stone. Or Bryce Dallas Howard. Or Jessica Chastain. Yeah Aragorn, just name every single hot actress with red hair. Oh yes, Lionel truly is. Did you try that site I told you about where you can watch Smallville online? Oh no, that doesn't crack his top 10 evil moments. Thanks and glad you feel my quote is accurate. Yes, it's the same as everyone. From what I hear, the Future Trunks storyline is the best thing in DBS and the only thing worth watching. Helps that he is my favorite DBZ character. What are your thoughts on him? Thanks for the title suggestion too. Loved it. Happy St. Patrick' Day to you too. Enjoy the chapter.

NightmareZ: Thanks for the review. Me too.

Guest: Thanks for the review and title suggestion, though I got a slightly better one. It's not that hard for me. Lionel is way out of Lillian's league. The worst she did doesn't come close to Lionel.

Chapter 32- How to (not) be a parent

"And here we go again", Wade said as he waved to everyone while walking to the podium on the stage while all applauded for him and waved back. "Last time we were here, Tess talked some sense into Lena and brought her back to the light."

All applauded again at the reminder as Wade said. "So now the two big Luthors have clashed. Their sisters have clashed. So the ones who still need to clash- are their parents!"

All applauded hysterically again and it looked like the building would explode so Wade had to raise his hand to calm everyone down. "All right! Calm down! We will get to the fight."

All calmed down as Wade said. "So on one side, we have Lionel Luthor from Smallville, played by John Glover, who was also the dad of Thaddeus Sivanna in 'Shazam!'. He was the son of Scottish immigrants. When he was young, he and Morgan Edge killed his parents so Lionel could get the insurance money to fund LuthorCorp. He has sociopathic tendencies and is also a narcissist. To quote a certain friend of Aragorn with whom I have unfinished business- "A fridge seems warmer than that man." He considered himself a modern 'Philip of Macedonia' and named his son Alexander after Philip's son 'Alexander the Great' and his second son was named Julian after 'Julius Caesar.' He constantly put Lex in danger with the excuse of 'making him stronger.' And man was he a blackmailer of the next level. He would enter into agreements with people, and if they would try to back out, he would defame them, make them lose their jobs, and in the worst case scenarios, have them killed. He was basically the comic book Lex Luthor up until Lex became his comic book self. However, after his liver disease was cured, he became a good and kind man for a few episodes, until the evil half of Lex made him return to his manipulative tendencies. In Season 5, he became Jor-El's vessel, though the connection was destroyed after the Fortress of Solitude was taken down by Brainiac. But even then, Lionel still was Jor-El's emissary and now he helped Clark and even trusted him and anyone else who knew his secret. But even though he was on Clark's side, he was a manipulative son of a bitch, and he still put Clark or others he cared about in danger or threatened them, like when he once locked up Clark in a Kryptonite cage. So Clark saw him as an enemy. In his last moments, he did try to apologize to Clark for his actions. And when Lex asked him who the Traveler was, he refused to tell him, leading Lex to murder him, finally ending him forever. However, John Glover did return in Season 10 as Lionel Luthor of Earth-2, who had found Clark instead of the Kents and raised him to be a murderer, even making him kill Lex. He later gave himself up to Darkseid to bring Lex back. But that was just a fun fact. We're only using the Lionel we all knew. So a huge round of applause for him."

All applauded hysterically as images of Glover's Lionel Luthor appeared on the screen behind Wade while he continued. "On the other side, we have Lillian Luthor from Supergirl in Arrowverse, played by Brenda Strong. She was mother of Lex, and very harsh in parenting him, even letting his private tutors dish out corporal punishment if he slipped in his studies. And she was harsh to Lena too for obvious reasons. In Season 2, she revived Corben as Metallo to kill Superman and Supergirl, though he failed. She supplied Chet Miner and his gang with weapons but when he almost outed her, she killed him too. She also had Hank Henshaw and Jeremiah Danvers with her, having 'cyborg'-ed them both. She abducted Kara and Mon-El and threatened them, until Jeremiah freed them both. Lillian was also going to kill all aliens until Lena double-crossed her and got her arrested. She escaped of course and later entered a temporary alliance with the good guys to stop the Daxamite Invasion. In Season 3, she returned to fight with a Lexosuit but was beaten again and tried to make amends with Lena. In Season 4, she once tried to poison Lex with tea but failed and he allowed her to live. After the Crisis, she never went to prison and ran Luthor Foundations but had no memory of Earth-38, with Lex lying to her that they were partners. And that's it for Lillian Luthor."

All applauded as images of Strong's Lillian Luthor appeared on the screen behind Wade while he said. "Now let them decide who is the more manipulative bastard."


Lillian Luthor was working in her office in Cadmus when the door opened and Lionel Luthor walked in, a smug smile on his face.

"How did you get in here?" Lillian snarled.

"You will know very soon", Lionel said as he pulled up a chair and sat down casually, as if he owned the place.

"This is my workplace, not your living room", Lillian snarled at him.

"It won't be your workplace for very long", Lionel said in a tone that was casual and threatening at the same time, sending chills down Lillian's spine.

"My Lionel would be disgusted by you", Lillian snarled as she sat down in front of him.

"And my Lillian by you", Lionel countered. "So that makes us even in a way."

"I am worse than you are", Lillian said. "I used to make Lex's tutors give him corporal punishment."

"So you're trying to tell me you're a dumb brute. How disappointing. I came in here expecting a challenge", Lionel mocked, making Lillian fume in anger.

"I threatened Kara and Mon-El. I was almost successful in my plan to kill aliens with the virus", Lillian said.

"And you failed because of your own stupidity", Lionel told her. "Allowing your daughter freedom to move? Even I wouldn't allow Lex such freedom in a partnership of this kind. How often have your schemes actually succeeded? And have you ever killed or seemingly killed a main character?"

Lillian couldn't speak for a few moments before she said. "I escaped prison and almost killed Lex."

"I evaded prison for a long time and only ended up in there when Lex hid Chloe and her dad from me", Lionel said. "And I did almost kill Chloe. The only reason she was even brought back was due to fanservice, otherwise she would be dead when I had her killed. And I am one of the many reasons Jonathan Kent lost his life. Even after all that, I did do some good when I became Jor-El's vessel, and I used my manipulations to protect Clark from people after him instead."

Lillian had no answer now. Lionel was already becoming too much for her.

"And I even faked being blind for a time", Lionel said, stunning her even more. "Then in Season 3, when Lex was onto evidence of me having had my parents killed, I added stuff to his drink and he ended up believing everyone was conspiring against him but to everyone else, he looked completely crazy. So he was put in the asylum and under my instructions, they gave him electroshock therapy that made him forget that entire month of his life. And my brand of parenting was so bad that my own wife, who was a kind woman, smothered our son Julian to death to protect him from me, and Lex had to take the blame."

Lillian was angered at how badly she was outclassed and snarled. "You made a big mistake coming here! I will have my men kill you!"

"Your men?" Lionel asked, almost in confusion, horrifying her. "You see, I always do research on my enemies before I hunt them down. And your men were among those I looked into. You can say I know them better than they even know themselves. And if they do anything to me, well, there is nowhere they can hide."

Lillian was even more horrified as her own men barged into the room and pointed guns at her.

"NO!" She screamed. "Don't-"

She was cut off when all the men fired at her, killing her mercilessly as Lionel got up and looked down on her dying form casually.

"I cannot believe I came in here expecting a challenge", Lionel said, his tone disappointed, as he turned around and walked off with her men, now his men.


"Anyone surprised?" Wade asked and no one raised hands. "Thought so. Lillian may have been manipulative, but Lionel faked blindness! That alone trumps anything she did. He was way out of her league. Scoreboard!"

Smallville: 20

Arrowverse: 10

"And Smallville is double of Arrowverse again", Wade said as all laughed and applauded. "Anyway, we will meet next time where both versions of Silver Banshee clash."

All applauded again as Wade said. "Until next time."


Was there ever a question as to who would win? Even when he was Jor-El's emissary, Lionel was a manipulative bastard. And we didn't even get to the Veritas or Davis stuff in this, which would be even more humiliating for Lillian, who didn't even hold up a candle to him.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed and see you all next time where the Banshees yell at each other. Until then, stay safe from the coronavirus ya all!
