Back at Chloe's dorm in Metropolis, they were all looking for information about Billy Church Jr. and Intergang on the Internet.
"Well, I have to go. I have to check and see what kind of damage in the mansion sustained," Lex grinned looking at his watch. "I'll catch you guys later."
Lex walked to his limo that was parked outside Chloe's dorm. He noticed his driver was different; it was a different man wearing sunglasses. "What is going on?" Lex asks.
"Mr. Luthor…" the driver starts the engine after Lex enters in the car. He drives a distance then stops and someone opens the door.
"Lex…"
A man with black hair wearing a black suit enters the limo.
"Bill…What do you want this time?" Lex asks annoyed.
"Our little demonstration didn't work. Bruce is not scared easily. I guess we have to show our big guns this time."
"You know you can't connect me to this in anyway, right? I just wanted Bruce's approval to build the cybernetic wing," Lex reminds him. "He has no vision."
"Don't worry Lex. Nobody will ever know Lex Luthor is connected to Intergang."
"They'd better not."
"So, what's our next move, Lex?"
"We have to do something drastic. If kidnapping Lois didn't work… let's see if we can scare him enough by abducting Chloe too."
Later that night at the Kent's Farm, Clark entered the living room and to his surprise, Bruce was there talking with his parents.
"Clark, you have a guest," Martha smiled as she walked out leaving the two of them alone.
"Bruce, what's going on?"
"I'm here to ask you for help, Clark. How is your friendship with Lex Luthor?"
"Why?"
"I have reasons to believe he is behind all this or that he is at least connected to Intergang."
"Lex? That makes no sense. Why would he go to all this trouble to kidnap Lois?"
"I shot down his proposal to open a cybernetic wing in the Wayne-Lex building. He's pretty upset about it," Bruce explains a little moodily.
"So…you think because of that he would kill Lois?" Clark asked still confused.
"I've been going over everything that happened. That bomb was a fake. It would have disarmed itself even if we weren't able to. Everything is connecting intergang to Luthorcorp and I can prove it."
"How?" Clark inquired curious about Bruce's plan.
"With the same bat-bug I used on you before," he shows Clark the bug.
"Wait…Lois's earrings. That's how we find them quickly at the mansion."
"I'll do the same with Lex. I have to find what he is up to."
Clark normally would have defended Lex like he always did but after Lex's actions in the past weeks, Clark decided to go along with Bruce's plan for Lois' sakes.
"I'm in. What's your idea?" Clark asked.
"Don't tell the girls, but we'll meet Lex at the Talon for lunch. He told Chloe that he would be there. I'll plant the bug and then we'll find out what Lex has really been up to."
"How do we do it without him noticing?"
"By distracting Lois," Bruce smirked with an evil grin.
"Huh?"
