SHOWDOWN
JOKER
The second base is underground, an old subway station cut off from the new line that had been built. Lex knew about it and redesigned it with a library, swimming pool, movie theater, etc. He also had a lab he can use to build and conduct experiments in. After getting settled in Joker sends some men out to find Lex and then he and Harley lounge by the pool.
"Make yourself at home." Lex says entering.
"Lex old boy…You made it!"
"Mister Luthor?"
He looks at the man, "Set it up over there."
"How long before you can get it up running?" Joker asks.
"If there are no more interruptions then two weeks tops."
LENA LUTHOR
She is coming out of the shower in her robe and gasps because Batman is standing in her living room. "Miss Luthor."
"What do you want?"
"Your brother."
"I don't know where he is?"
"And if you did?"
She sighs, "I am not close with my brother…"
"Think you know him better than anyone…Where would he go? Where would he hide?"
"Lex had more secrets than anyone in our family. He has a number of hidden bases, all over the world and here in Metropolis."
"If you were him what would you do?"
She sighs, "Lex…Would probably try to find a way to turn the tables on Joker. Make it look like he was forced to help Joker and try to turn himself into a hero."
"Thank you."
CLARK
Clark and Lois search through the records of every real estate deal done in Metropolis since Lex got his trust fund at the age of eighteen. His cell phone rings, "Hello."
"Its me…I am calling you on a secure line…I spoke with Lena Luthor."
"And?"
"She didn't give me much to go on. Told me things I already knew, but it got me thinking. What if we used something Luthor wanted as bait to draw him out?"
"Such as?"
"What about false information on his son? I can go undercover…And give you something to track me with."
"And when they check out your info and it leads to nothing, they will kill you."
"You have a better plan?"
BRUCE
It takes Bruce ten days to set up his false identity as Gregory Warden career criminal from Bludhaven. He has the real Gregory Warden transferred and while in route Batman busts him out and hides him at his hideout in Metropolis, then he disguises himself as Gregory. When Gregory enters a bar he sees Clark in disguise as well. He nods toward the man Gregory needs to see.
"You Harper?"
"Depends on who is asking?"
"Gregory Warden. I hear you work for the Joker."
"Is that what you hear?"
"I got news I want to sell to Lex Luthor, for five million dollars."
"What is the news?"
"I have news about Mercy Graves."
The man pulls out a phone and hands it to him, "Someone will contact you."
Not willing to blow his cover unless they are tracking the phone Gregory stays at a motel. Two days later the phone rings. "Hello."
"Are Gregory Warden?"
"I am…and you?"
"Lex Luthor…A brown, four door, car will pull up in the front of the Motel in ten minutes." He hangs up the phone.
Gregory goes outside and waits. Just as Luthor says the car pulls up and he gets in. They drive to a construction site where Luthor is waiting with ten heavily armed men. "Gregory Warden…X-Mercenary…" He snaps his finger and two of his men bring out four large suit cases. "Five million in cash…Now where is mercy Graves."
"She is living on a CIA training facility in Virginia. It looks like a neighborhood, but its for urban training scenarios."
"And where did you get your info?"
"I have friends in the CIA…One of them passed the info to me for a cut of the money."
"I have friends in the CIA as well…and you are a lying pig. Kill him!" They shoot at him, but Gregory dives to the side as Luthor gets away. Gregory snatches up a rock and throws it taking out the man's eye. As he roars in pain, Gregory takes out the driver and jumps into the car. They chase him while shooting. He drives the car into the water and swims away.
LUTHOR
"I told you it was a trap." Joker says when Luthor returns to their base.
"So you did."
"Are the suits ready…"
"A few more things and they will be."
Luthor had built two suits. A full armor suit and an exoskeleton suit. The full armor suit did not run on Kryptonite, but it could channel Kryptonite energy through its energy, based weapon systems. The exoskeleton suit has an array of weapons and Kryptonite claws. It also has a secret compartment for a dagger made of Kryptonite.
"Superman has a Super-bot of some kind…The best I can figure is that it takes his place whenever he is in his alter ego."
"You think Superman has a secret a identity/" Harley says.
"He came here as a baby. Someone found him and raised him." Joker and Luthor leave Metropolis and head for Gotham. When they arrive they take control of GCPD headquarters and take the cops prisoner.
BATMAN/SUPERMAN
"Batman it's me Bat Woman…Joker and Luthor are in Gotham. They have taken GCPD headquarters and are holding hostages."
"We are on our way now!" Batman calls Clark and they fly to Gotham together side by side. They fly to the Batcave where Superman installs a teleporter. Then he shows Alfred how to operate it. Then they fly downtown.
"Alfred all the hostages are locked on to beam them out now." Superman says. When the hostages are safe Superman and Batman attack. Superman is wearing armor to protect him from the Kryptonite. Batman is wearing heavier armor as well for extra protection. Superman tackles Lex Luthor in his suit.
"I see you wore extra protection."
"Yes I did." Superman punches through his suit and rips the Kryptonite out. Then he crushes the rock in his gloved hand. That is when Luthor blasts him in the eyes with a bright flash wave. "AAAHHH!"
"Hahahahahahahahaaa!" Joker laughs as Batman chases him That is when Luthor lands in front of Batman.
"Finish off Superman…I will handle the Dark Knight."
"You think so!" That is when Batman surprises Luthor with heat vision from his eyes. He slices off chunks of Luthor's suit.
"Superman!"
"Yes Batman and I switched."
Batman had used special eye contacts to protect himself. He punches Joker knocking him out ending the fight. Superman takes Luthor back to Metropolis and Joker is taken to Arkhum Asylum.
