My first deed in this universe was done. Lex Luthor was dead.

--

An act that could be considered heinous in taking a life or justified for saving many potential ones.

Alright, now that I just committed my first murder, I'm going to need to hide the body.

I'm an Android so I doubt that I could just waltz up to the Justice League and claim that I found him dead like that, based on prior experience with my kind they're probably going to want as much context as possible from something like that.

Or I could just burn this whole place down. I mean, sure this was Ivo's home so I felt some attachment to it, but burning it down would definitely add more to the idea of Luthor dropping dead in addition to doing so while in the use of some high-tech. Tech which broke when he died and set the place on fire.

I'm sure that Batman would be more than able to sniff out that this was a poorly done cover-up. But that's the beauty of being the worst swordsman going up against the best. Since this is Luthor, he'd never think that it was a murder done by a rookie but more that it was either Luthor's own doing or another of the numerous enemies that the man had.

Now I'm just going to have to find something flammable, which shouldn't be too hard considering that this was a mad scientist's home.

When I found where Ivo kept his tools, I also found an interesting set of blueprints. My blueprints.

I gave those a look, committing every line and inch of detail to my memory, before tearing it to shreds. Not leaving this around for anybody like Cadmus or Grodd to find, either to make their own Amazo or to find a weakness within me.

Speaking of which, I also found the self-destruct device Ivo made for me.

Some part of me was hurt that he'd do such a thing, but going by the dozens upon dozens of instances where a creation tries to kill their creator in this universe alone along with the hundreds outside of it, I got over it quickly. Just as quickly as I destroyed the device, I muse as the pieces fell to the floor.

I finally found something flammable but started to have second thoughts.

This was a decent house after all, why exactly should I burn it down just to hide evidence of my crimes?

Fuck it, I'll just yeet the body at LexCorp or the Justice League and let them deal with it.

Though that does raise the question, where the hell do I need to go to find them? There's a city nearby so it shouldn't be that hard to get their attention, an Android carrying a dead body outta do the trick in getting attention. Even more so when it's the body of Lex Luthor.

I head back to where I've left Luthor's body and threw it on my back like a sack of potatoes. As I head out the door, I just noticed that the lack of it would likely entice some intruders, be it animals or robbers. Can't have that happen, this was perfectly fine real estate after all. Despite the lack of doors, fucking Luthor smh.

So I toss the body away for now, breaking a branch at the sound of it, and get to work with the doors.

And by work, I meant just barricading the entrance with a shit ton of trees because I don't know shit about carpenting.

As I walk back to pick up the body, I just found that the 'crack' wasn't a tree branch. It was his neck.

He tripped and fell down some stairs, how clumsy of poor Lexy here.

With my new and totally legit cover in place, both for my home and story, I flew in the direction of whatever city this was. My guess was either Central City or Metropolis, way too clean to be Gotham.

Landmarks are mighty useful for knowing where you were and are well known for most travelers. Me, I'm no traveler but I think that sign for the Daily Planet was one hell of an indicator of where I was.

Maybe I should see if Lois Lane is in today? This would be one helluva scoop for her and it'd certainly be the fastest way to get Superman's attention. It'd also be a quick way to get my ass beaten raw by him. Sure I'd come out stronger, but I'd like to face the strongest guy on the with something other than my lacking base kit.

Or maybe I should just stop by at LexCorp and report that I've found company property and drop the body on them. Then again, they might be able to clone the bald bastard so maybe not.

Or I could just call the police and let them deal with it? Never mind, Cadmus. And they definitely cloned people. Ooh, I should check if they still got Galatea over there and bust her out while I'm getting rid of those clowns next.

"Hold it, big boy." A voice in the sky demanded.

I turned to find a rather quick answer to my problem in the form of Hawkgirl.

Whose eyes quickly widened once they saw who I had in my grasp. "What the hell are you doing with Luthor?!"

As I gave a quick glance at the twisted neck the corpse was sporting, I realized that I was right earlier when blatant deaths wouldn't send a good image of me. Then I turned my eyes back to her, who was still waiting for an explanation.

"I had nothing to do with it, he fell down some stairs."

"...what?"
